Documentation doesn't match behavior (Can't login)
So I end up with this switch (GS748TS) and I'm trying to login in the web portal.
Before doing so I tried to reset back to factory settings with the front panel reset button by holding it down ...
How do I reset a smart switch to factory default settings?
GS700TS (724TS, 748TS) Series Hardware Installation Guide, p 3.24, Factory Default Button
Note: The Factory Defaults (where available) is not the same like the Reset switch (which does just reboot this switch model). The Factory Default button is located on the right front side, near to the SFP ports.
Assuming the switch is healty, the System LED and the Fan LED are green, there is nothing that should stop you from doing the factory reset.
Ho, hooooo...
I did read this page but because I didn't see a "reboot" or 'restart" topic (or graph of the panel) I did assume it was the reset factory button.
You are right, I did use the wrong button. (Also the sfc ports and the factory reset are not easy to reach so I didn't bother looking there).
The p3-19 did mention the reset and default factory button...
Thanks

Ha, don't worry - I would have walked the same trap, too. Most SFP modules cover this area very well. Newer Netgear Smart Managed Plus and Smart Managed Pro come with a single reset button.
