Service Buttons

The MPR-50 Multi-Port Router has six service buttons: one for the Monitor and one

for each of the routers. To reset the MPR-50 Multi-Port Router to factory defaults,

hold the Monitor service button down for 10 seconds.

Note that service pin messages are broadcast onto any attached channels when the

unit is put into factory default state. Some tools that listen for service pin messages

and perform automatic configuration may recognize the MPR-50 and begin

configuring it, potentially unexpectedly.

Channel Connectors

The MPR-50 front panel includes a separate 3.5mm (1/8”) mono phone jack for each

of the five external channels. The jack is compatible with the connector used on the
LonPoint

®

Routers, LonPoint Modules, and various third-party products.

Echelon manufactures cables for connecting the MPR-50 to Echelon network

interfaces such as the PCC-10 PC Card Network Interface and the U10 USB

Network Interface.
