Annotator Reset Mode Summary

Activation

Purpose/Notes

Use Factory Firmwar

Hold down the recessed Reset button
while applying power to the unit

The Annotator reverts to the factory
default firmware. Event scripting does
not start if the device is powered in this
mode. All user files and settings (drivers,
adjustments, IP settings) are maintained.

This mode reverts to the
factory default firmware
version if incompatibility
issues arise with user-loaded
firmware.

NOTE:

After a mode 1 reset is

performed, update the
Annotator firmware to
the latest version. Do not
operate the firmware
version that results from
this mode reset. If you
want to use the factory
default firmware, you
must upload that version
again. See page 69 or 87
for details on uploading
firmware.

NOTE:

If you do not want to update

firmware, or you performed
a mode 1 reset by mistake,
cycle power to the Annotator
to return to the firmware
version that was running prior
to the mode 1 reset. Use the

0Q SIS command to confirm
that the factory default
firmware is no longer running
(look for asterisks following
the version number.)

NOTE:

User-defined

web pages
may not work
correctly if
using an earlier
firmware
version.

Run/Stop

Events

Hold down the Reset button for about 3
sec. until the Power LED blinks once, then
release and press Reset momentarily (<1
sec.) within 1 second.

This mode turns events on or off.

NOTE:

Nothing happens if the
momentary press does not
occur within 1 second.

This mode is useful for
troubleshooting.

Reset all IP

Settings

Hold down the Reset button for about
6 sec. until the Power LED blinks twice
(once at 3 sec., again at 6 sec.). Then
release and press Reset momentarily (for
<1 sec.) within 1 second.

NOTE:

Nothing happens if the
momentary press does not
occur within 1 second.

This mode does the following:
• Enables ARP capability.
• Sets the IP address back to factory default
(192.168.254.254).
• Sets the subnet back to factory default.
• Sets the default gateway address to the
factory default.
• Sets port mapping back to factory default.
• Turns DHCP off.
• Turns events off.

This mode enables you to set
IP address information using
ARP and the MAC address.

Reset to Factory

Defaults

Hold down the Reset button for about 9
sec. until the Power LED blinks three times
(once at 3 sec., again at 6 sec., again
at 9 sec.). Then release and press Reset
momentarily (for <1 sec.) within 1 second.

NOTE:

Nothing happens if the

momentary press does not
occur within 1 second.

This mode performs a complete reset to
factory defaults (except the firmware).
• Does everything mode 4 does.
• Removes button/touchpanel configurations.
• Resets all IP options.
• Removes scheduling settings.

This mode is useful if you
