Reset Operations
The rear panel Reset button initiates four levels of resets (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the
sake of comparison with an Extron IPL product). The Reset button is recessed, so use a
pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or small screwdriver to access it.
See the following table for a summary of the modes.
ATTENTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may
result in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a
controller reboot.
NOTE: The reset modes listed below close all open IP and Telnet connections and close
all sockets. Also, the following modes are separate functions, not a continuation from
mode 1 to mode 5.

Purpose and Notes
1
Hold down the recessed Reset button while
applying power to the switcher.
NOTE: After a mode 1 reset is
performed, update the switcher
firmware to the latest version. Do
not operate the switcher firmware
version that results from the
mode 1 reset. If you want to use
the factory default firmware, you
must upload that version again.
See
on uploading firmware.
The switcher reverts to the factory default firmware.
Event scripting does not start if the switcher is powered on in
this mode. All user files and settings, such as IP settings, are
maintained.
NOTE: If
you do not want to update firmware, or you
performed a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle power
to the switcher to return to the firmware version that
was running before the mode 1 reset. Use the
SIS command on page 31 to confirm that the
factory default firmware is no longer running (look for
the asterisk [*] following the version number.
Use mode 1 to return
the switcher to the
factory default firmware
version if incompatibility
issues arise with user-
loaded firmware.
3
Hold the Reset button for approximately
3 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks once,
then momentarily press Reset within 1
second.
Mode 3 turns events on or off. During resetting, the
Reset LED flashes two times if events are starting, three times
if events are stopping.
Mode 3 is useful for
troubleshooting.

Hold the Reset button for approximately
6 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks
twice (once at 3 seconds and again at 6

within 1 second.

Sets the IP address to the factory default.
•
Sets the subnet address to the factory default.
•
Sets the gateway address to the factory default.

Turns events off.
The Reset LED flashes four times in succession during the reset.
Mode 4 enables you
to set IP address
information using ARP
and the MAC address.
5
Hold the Reset button for approximately
9 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks
three times (once at 3 seconds, again at
6 seconds, and then again at 9 seconds).
Then momentarily press Reset within 1
second.
Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults
(with the exception of the firmware):
•
Does everything mode 4 does.
•
Resets most settings, including:
•
Clears all ties.
