Factory Reset

Reset DataTalk IPC network settings or perform a full factory reset by placing a trigger file on the SD card.

On this page

Factory reset is performed by placing a trigger file on the SD card. The device reads it on next boot and applies the requested reset, then removes the file automatically.

How to perform a reset

  1. Power off the device and remove the SD card.
  2. On the SD card, create a file named go_default.json in the root directory.
  3. Write the following JSON content into the file:
{
  "network": true,
  "factory": true
}
  1. Insert the SD card back and power on the device.

Reset options

You can use either key independently or combine them:

KeyValueEffect
networktrueResets all network settings to factory defaults (IP addresses, gateway, DNS). The device will boot with its default First Boot network configuration.
factorytrueFull factory reset โ€” wipes all stored data, projects, and configuration. The device will be completely clean. Network is also reset (implied by network: true).

Network reset only

To reset only the network settings (data and projects are kept):

{
  "network": true
}

Full factory reset

To wipe everything including network settings โ€” factory: true alone is sufficient:

  "factory": true
}
