Chapter 6 Troubleshoot the System
At startup, the Fault indicator is off, except for a few brief flashes, and
the Comm indicator is on. If the indicators remain off, check the
power cable. After a successful startup, both indicators are off and
controlled by the application running on the terminal.
The table shows indicator states if the terminal stops during startup.
Returning to the Out-of-box
Condition
You may want to return a terminal to the out-of-box condition to
refresh the terminal or to recover from severe application
misbehavior. There is a special maintenance action that permits you to
perform a complete reset and return to the out-of-box condition for
the terminal.
Returning a terminal to an out-of-box condition does not affect the
terminal firmware version or the installed font image.
Follow these steps to return your terminal to the out-of-box condition.
1. Connect an external USB keyboard to the terminal and hold the
Ctrl and Shift keys simultaneously, while starting up the
terminal.
A dialog box appears with the prompt:
Return to Out of Box Condition?
