The CHeKT Bridge Network Reset Button

The CHeKT Bridge Units come with a physical button designed to default the network configuration saved on that unit. The purpose of this button is to allow an installer to return the network parameters of that piece of hardware to the Factory Settings. 

Locating the reset button on your bridge hardware

CKB304v2:

The reset button is located on the right side of the unit (just above the audio output) on the V2 Model:


CKB312v1:

On the newer, V12 Model, the button is located on the back, in between the Ethernet connection and the audio output:


How to reset the Bridge

To activate the reset sequence, hold the button for approximately 13 seconds, and release it. The window for the working time for the button is between ~ 11 seconds --> ~20 seconds; aiming at 13 seconds should be a comfortable medium.  The bridge will react to the reset sequence ~ 5 seconds after release, at this time, you will see the lights cycle on the bridge, signifying a successful reset.
After the Reset
  1. The Bridge will lose any static IP information saved and return to the factory DHCP Setting
  2. Any Sub IP Settings will be removed
  3. The Bridge will retain registration information, such as site enrollment or cameras connected*
If the defaulted (new) network settings no longer grant access to a camera IP channel, it will need to be manually reconnected using an accessible IP address. If the newly acquired settings still grant local access to the IP of that device, the bridge should automatically reconnect it within 5-10 minutes.
