Purpose and
Notes
Use Factory Firmwar
e
1
Hold down the recessed Reset button
while applying power to the IPCP.
NOTE: After a mode 1 reset is
performed, update the IPCP
firmware to the latest version.
Do not operate the IPCP
controller 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. See
the Global Configurator Help file
for firmware upload instructions.
The IPCP controller 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 such
as drivers, adjustments, and 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 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).
Use mode 1 to
revert to the factory
default version if
incompatibility issues
arise with user-loaded
firmware.
NOTE: User-
defined web
pages may not
work correctly if
using an earlier
firmware version.
Enable SIS
Serial Console

Press and release the Reset button.
Within 2 seconds type +++ on the
keyboard.
NOTE: If the three “+”characters
(+++) are not entered in the
2-second time frame, the COM
port becomes a control port only.
The connected COM port becomes a
console port to send SIS commands.
Scripting remains on.
Mode 2 enables the
SIS console port.
