700/RX Locked On Boot

[Rashid Khan_1]

I recently recieved a 700/RX from a friend who informed me that he had set the gateway IP and the IP of the machine to the same value, this causes the machine to not go past the "initializing gateways" message. If you attempted to abort or get to the config screen the machine locks up hard. Same with the F12 key, makes it lockup. I also heard ctrl+alt+f9 from someone, which does nothing. Please let me know if there is a solution to this

Do you have it connected to the network when booting ? If so, try booting with no network.

Hi there.
If the disconenct to the network does not work,
try to boot the thing without the network interface, change the network config and replug the interface. Then try to reboot.

to reset to Factory defaults :

1) Via xterminal config screen : accessed by holding down key or by interrupting boot process and going into config => diagnostics => reset to defaults.

My guess is you can't use the above method so =>

after the first 2 beeps will factory default it also ... just don't be too quick to let go the keys.

good luck !
