The Erase Security Settings command returns the security settings of a system back to their default values. This action does not affect the system's configuration or audit trail record.

Note that any security certificates stored and being used by the system are deleted. Any services currently using those certificates are disconnected and disabled until the appropriate certificates are added back to the system's security configuration. That includes SSL VPN connections being used to perform system maintenance.

For IP500 and IP500 V2 control units, if the security settings cannot be defaulted using this command, they can be defaulted using a DTE cable connection to the system. Refer to the Deploying an IP500 V2 IP Office Subscription System manual.
