SIM Card Slots
The rear panel of a CSG300 series appliance has two nano-SIM card slots. If you subscribe to a single wireless service,
use the SIM 1 slot to install the LT device. If you subscribe to dual wireless service, use both the SIM 1 and SIM 2 slots
to activate the LT devices.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use only preactivated SIMs in the SIM card slots.
Power Button
The Power button on the rear panel of a CSG300 series appliance turns the power on and off.
To turn the power on, press and immediately release the Power button when the appliance is off.
To turn the power off, press the Power button when the appliance is on, as follows:
• If you press and immediately release the button, the appliance does a graceful software shutdown that is equivalent
to issuing the shutdown now command from the operating system shell.
• If you press and hold the button for 10 seconds or more, the power for the appliance turns off and the appliance
shuts down.
Reset Button
The Reset button on the rear panel of a CSG300 series appliance resets the appliance. The reset functionality depends
on the number of times you press the button within a span of 30 seconds, as described in Table 3. In between each
press on the reset button, you must pause for a second to register the key presses.
The Reset button is recessed so that it is not accidentally pressed while the appliance is operational.
To press the Reset button, use a sharp, narrow tool.

2 Reset the appliance to the factory-default snapshot.
4 Reset the appliance to the branch prestaging configuration.
6 Reset the appliance to the branch staging configuration.
8 Reset the appliance to branch post-staging configuration.
You can reset the appliance to the factory-default configuration by issuing the request system reset CLI command.

Reset the Appliance to the Factory-Default Configuration from the CLI
You can reset the appliance to the factory-default configuration from the CLI. You can connect to the appliance through
the serial console port or by using SSH.
The factory default reset procedure may take up to 20 minutes to complete. Do not power off the appliance during this
time.
To reset an appliance to the factory default configuration:
1. To connect to the appliance through the serial console port, see Configure a Management Console to Connect to a
CSG300 Series Appliance.
2. Log in to the appliance CLI using the username "admin" and the password "versa123".
Note: To connect to the appliance using SSH, connect your PC to the management port of the appliance. For the
port mapping on the CSG700 series appliance, see Interface Numbering. The management port has the default
static IP address 10.10.10.10/24. Configure the PC IP address to any IP from this segment, for example,
10.10.10.1/24. Open an SSH session to the appliance using its IP address, 10.10.10.10.
3. Issue the following commands to reset the configuration to factory default. If the current software version on the
appliance is the same as that of the factory reset snapshot, the procedure takes about 10 minutes to complete. If
the software versions are different, the procedure takes about 20 minutes to complete. Do not power off the
appliance during the process.
%cli
%request system reset
4. Verify that all Versa services are running by issuing the vsh status command from the Linux bash CLI. The
following is a sample output of this command. If all the services are shown as stopped, issue the vsh start
command from the Linux bash CLI to start them manually.

LT Modem Module
The CSG300 series LT modem module is a high-performance Cat-6 LT Advanced (LT -A) modem that provides
download speeds up to 300 Mbps and upload speeds up to 50 Mbps. The LT modem supports multiple carriers, and it
has been certified by major global carriers. The appliance has two externally accessible SIM card slots, one for each
embedded LT -A modem. If the appliance is configured with two LT -A modems, each SIM card controls one LT
radio. The appliance also has one USB slot that can be connected to an LT dongle. With two internal modems and one
USB-attached modem, you can deploy up to three simultaneous LT WAN connections.
The LT firmware-driven modem module provides the following capabilities:
• xternally accessible SIM cards that support dual-LT modems.
• Connects to most global carriers' network depending on the SIM card inserted. For example, if the SIM card
inserted is from Carrier A, the modem autodetects the SIM card and connects to Carrier A's network.
• Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver enables tracking and location-based services.
• Stores up to three firmware versions, thereby allowing the modem to switch to other networks.
• Firmware can be upgraded over the air.
• Secure boot provides secure connectivity by preventing unauthorized code on target devices.
The LT modem connections are metered connections, and the Versa software implementation ensures that the LT
service is charged only when needed. Policies and scenarios that determine the use of LT interfaces are set by
network operators and implemented by Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) devices accordingly.
Table 1 lists the supported LT specifications.

You can order CSG300 series appliances with an optional LT modem module. The LT modem modules have either
one SIM slot or two SIM slots. For modules with one SIM slot, you insert the SIM card into the SIM1 slot, which is on the
back of the appliance. For modules with two SIM slots, you insert a SIM card into each of the two SIM slots, which are
labeled SIM1 and SIM2.
Note: If the appliance has two SIM card slots, use SIM slot 1 and vni-0/100 port for bootstrapping when you upgrade the
software to a later version.
If the appliance is powered off when you insert the SIM card or cards, the LT functionality is activated when you boot
the appliance. If you insert the SIM card or cards into the LT modem module when the appliance is powered on and
operational, you must reboot the appliance to restart the LT modem and LT functionality. To do this, you must power
off the appliance, unplug the power cable, plug the power cable back in, and press the power button. Simply powering
the appliance on and off does not restart the LT modem. Also, pressing the reset button on the appliance or rebooting
the appliance from Versa Director does not restart the LT modem.
mbedded WiFi Module
The CSG350 appliance has two internal wireless slots that can be configured for single LT or dual LT . The CSG355
and CSG365 appliances have three internal wireless slots.
The CSG300 series appliances have one WiFi access point (AP) module. It is a dual-band module that simultaneously
supports 2.4 GHz, for longer distances, and 5 GHz, for faster throughput. It provides the following WiFi capabilities:
• WiFi radios preconfigured for operation at 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz
• Supports DFS frequency bands, enabled by default, thereby providing more frequency bands for 5-GHz radio
• Supports 802.11ac Wave 2 standard and 2x2:2 Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) for more
efficient transmission to multiple clients
• Built-in support for WiFi mesh capabilities
• Bluetooth for ZTP and smartphone applications
• Supports I 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac protocols
• Supports channel bandwidths of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz
• Supports channel bonding with channel bandwidths of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40 MHz
• Background scanning automatically selects the best and cleanest channel
