Extron Electronics Annotator User Guide - Manual (Page 18)

Resetting the Unit with the Reset Button
There are four reset modes (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with
Extron IPL products) that you can access by pressing the Reset button on the rear panel.
The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to
press it.
See the table on page 13 for a summary of the reset modes.
CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result
in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or
processor reboot.
NOTE: The reset modes listed in the table close all open IP and Telnet connections and
close all sockets. Also, each mode is a separate function, not a continuation
from mode 1 to mode 5.

Figure 5. Resetting the Annotator
NOTE: After a mode 1 reset is performed, update the Annotators’s firmware to the
latest version. Do not operate the firmware version that results from the
mode 1 reset. If the factory default firmware is to be used, that version must
be uploaded again.
If you do not want to update firmware, or you performed a mode 1 reset by
mistake, cycle power to the device to return to the firmware version that was
running before the mode 1 reset. Use the 0Q SIS command to confirm that
the factory default firmware is no longer running (look for the asterisk [*]
following the version number).
See the table on next page for a summary of the reset modes.
