Extron Electronics MTPX Plus 6400 Series User Guide - Manual (Page 63)

Rear Panel Operations
The rear panel has a Reset button that initiates four levels of resets (identified as modes
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.
For different reset levels, press and hold the button while the switcher is running or press
and hold the button while you apply power to the switcher.
See the table on the next page for a summary of the modes.
CAUTION: 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.
Performing a Hard Reset (Mode 1)
The hard reset function restores the switcher to the base firmware that it was shipped with.
After a hard reset, events do not automatically start, but user settings and files are restored.
Perform a hard reset as follows:
NOTE: The hard reset restores the factory-installed firmware. The switcher reverts
to that factory firmware the next time power is cycled off and on unless a
firmware update is performed before the power cycle.
1. If necessary, turn off power to the switcher.
2. Press and hold the Reset button on the rear panel while you apply AC power to the
switcher (see figure 24).
