Note
You can perform either a short reset or long reset on the NL Series Speakers:
- A short reset will only restore the speaker's network configuration back to auto mode (DHCP) and delete all static routes. All other features will remain unchanged.
- A long reset clears all network settings, the hostname, and the device password. It also disables 802.1x, deletes user-installed device certificates, deletes all logs, and disables the device password protection.
