Resetting the unit
There are four reset modes (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison
with an Extron IPL product) that are available by pressing the Reset button on
the rear panel. The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint
pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it. See the following table 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 switcher reboot.
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.
