We have the physical device. With respect to the first suggestion to find someplace where there might have been a reset button, we have removed the plastic covers and there is nothing visible.
On Decserver-90TL, there is a reset button accessible from the front. Such does not exist on Decserver-90L. The comment with respect to the power/power on sequence is to allow for the authorize password change. If one doesn't cycle power immediately after changing the password, the change is ignored. Given the simplicity of the device, we never enabled authorization or passwords. We have some Decserver-200's which are much more complex devices that have reset buttons as well MOP operations, i.e. download/upload of settings, ETC. Sincerely, Robert F.

There is no reset button. http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/mds-199909/cd2/network/dsrvdom1.pdf Pages 40-41 in the PDF (pages 4-13 and 4-14 of the DECserver 90L user manual). You need physical access to the 90L, because you have to power cycle it to change from Authorized (uses passwords) to not.
