The IPL T SFI244 reverts to the factory default
firmware.
Event scripting does not start if the unit is
powered on in this mode. All user files and settings
(drivers, adjustments, IP settings, etc.) are maintained.
N If you do not want to update firmware, or you
performed a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle power to the
unit 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.)
IPL T SFI244 Reset Mode Summary
Mode Activation Result Purpose/Notes
1 Hold down the recessed Reset button
while applying power to the
IPL T SFI244.
N After a mode 1 reset is performed,
update the unit’s firmware to the latest
version. Do not operate the
IPL T SFI244 firmware version that
results from the mode 1 reset. This mode
temporarily resets the unit to factory
default until power is recycled. If you
want to use the factory default firmware,
you must upload that version again.
Use mode 1 to revert
to the factory default
firmware version if
incompatibility issues
arise with user-loaded
firmware.
N User-defined
Web pages may not
work correctly if
using an earlier
firmware version.
