The Factory default configuration preset and Factory reset
Administrators can apply the default factory configuration preset to Pearl-2, which resets most of the settings in each of the main configuration groups. Applying the factory default configuration preset is similar to a factory reset, but a Factory reset is more invasive. This table describes the differences.

There are different ways you can apply the Factory default configuration preset to the Pearl device, you can:
- Using the admin panel, see: Apply a configuration preset using the Admin panel.
- Using the touch screen, see: Apply a configuration preset using the touch screen.
A reboot is required to apply the factory default configuration preset.
To perform a factory reset, see Perform a factory reset.
Operators who are assigned certain administrative-level privileges can apply the Factory default configuration preset and perform a factory reset, see Assign administrator privileges to operators.
Returning the Pearl device to the factory defaults or performing a factory reset does not delete the registered resource instance in Kaltura CMS. You can reregister your Pearl device using the same resource name and take over for the resource instance that is still registered in Kaltura, see Reassign a registered resource.
