Front and Rear Panel Components
This article describes the front and rear panel components of a Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 1000 series appliance. For the exact location of these components on the appliance, see At a Glance.
Front Panel
The front panel of a CSG1000 series appliance has a power button, a reset button, and six status LEDs located in two rows, as shown in Figure 1. (Note that the CSG1300 series and CSG1500 series appliances are physically identical.)

Power Button
The Power button on the front panel of a CSG1000 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 front panel of a CSG1000 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.
Table 3: Reset Button Press Behavior
Number of Presses |
Behavior |
---|---|
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.
SIM Card Slots
The front panel of a CSG1000 series appliance has two nano-SIM card slots. If you subscribe to a single wireless service, install the LTE device in the SIM 1 slot. If you subscribe to dual wireless services, use both the SIM 1 and SIM 2 slots to activate the LTE devices.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use only preactivated SIMs in the SIM card slots.
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:
- To connect to the appliance through the serial console port, see Configure a Management Console to Connect to a CSG1000 Series Appliance.
- 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 CSG1000 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.
- 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
- 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.

- Power off the appliance.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of a CSG1000 series appliance has the following components, as shown in Figure 2:
- Two power supply units, internal 920 W, that provide 1+1 redundancy, hot-swappable, with back-to-front airflow and AC to DC
- Four front-to-back cooling fans that provide 3+1 redundancy
- One ground contact
