That machine will be restored.
Purpose: Proofread errors and create backups for customers

Return the device to factory defaults

  • Virtual machines with 4-digit version (Ex: 2003, 2004) are the original data files of the software, while virtual machines with shortened version of 3 numbers (Ex: 2003-> 203) are the current running version, When you want to return to the default, you just need to delete the currently running version and clone the 3-number version into the corresponding 4-number version
  • When the customer wants to return the device to its original state
    Ex: Return Dashboard to default
  • Step 1: Select 204 (DashBoard) -> Select Stop
