To make sure that the device is working properly, follow the three steps:

1. Verification of LEDs

2. Checking the device configuration (IP Settings)

3. Check the device logs (description below)

Verification of LEDs

NXS-9700 LED locations - SIM1, SIM2, Power, User and Ready LEDs

LED locations

Normal operation of the device is signaled by LEDs as follows:

LED

Correct operation

Power (PWR)

Continuously lit

User

Ready (RDY)

Blinking

SIM1 (only 3G device)

Slow flashing in stand-by mode, Quick flashing when modem 1 in use

SIM2 (only 3G device)

Not used

Checking the device information

The device information (device type, software version, modem IMEI, IMSI, network signal strength, network name) can be found under menu “Settings” > “Sysinfo”.

Device logs

Under menu “Settings” > “Logs” you can find latest lines of device logs: modem log, database log and system log. In case of any problems with the device these logs are a valuable source of troubleshooting information.

Extended device logs can be downloaded via button “Download device logs” in menu “Settings” > “Logs”.

When the device is not reachable

  1. Check if the device is correctly connected to the network. Check LED status of RJ45 socket.

  2. In the case when the device does not respond due to a malfunction or incorrect user settings please reboot the device by disconnecting and connecting power source (or pressing Reset switch).

  3. If you still cannot connect with the device, it is possible to restore to factory IP settings by using the SW button.

Restoring factory defaults

The Reset to Default Settings function allows you to quickly restore the device to its original factory configuration.

Warning

Restoring factory defaults permanently removes current user configuration. Ensure any necessary settings or data are backed up before proceeding.

To initiate the reset, press and hold the SW button for 10 seconds. The device will enter recovery mode.

4. Wait until system reboots. Default settings are restored.

Hardware Rev.5 and later

The process uses a dedicated read-only recovery partition, ensuring the restore image remains intact and unaffected by normal device operation. Once recovery mode is entered, a single short beep starts a 10s countdown. A second short beep confirms the start of the restore process. The entire process typically takes a few minutes to complete.

Upon successful completion, the device signals with three short beeps, followed by a 10s countdown before automatically restarting. If the operation is cancelled during the countdown, two short beeps are emitted. In the event of a restore error, the device emits one long beep followed by two short beeps, then exits to a service shell for diagnostics.

Hardware Rev.3–Rev.4

The reset function restores only the following settings to their default values: IP settings, time zone settings, database content, and Linux OS users/passwords.
