Pro Tools | MTRX Installation Guide16
Recovery Mode
In Recovery mode only a basic boot software is operative in the unit, and new software can be downloaded
using DADman software. This mode is used if the software in the MTRX is not operational or is otherwise
malfunctioning.
To enter Recovery mode:
Push and hold the Reconfig button for approximately 10 seconds while powering up the unit. The Status
LED turns green.
The IP address settings of the unit keeps the last used settings.
To set the unit to use DHCP:
Push and release the Reconfig button while the unit is in recovery mode and the Status LED is lit green.
The Status LED turns off, but the unit remains in recovery mode, and the IP address settings of the unit is
set to DHCP. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the MTRX defaults to IP address 10.0.7.20 /
255.255.0.0 after approximately two minutes.
The selection of either of the two recovery modes are fixed after selection. The MTRX starts with a basic
boot software and IP configuration. By enabling recovery mode with default IP address and network con-
figuration the unit can always be identified on a network with the default setup. The MTRX will not be op-
erational until the latest firmware has been installed using DADman software and it has been power cycled
(see “Updating Pro Tools | MTRX Firmware” on page 12).
Note that the IP address referred to is the IP address of the controller/management interface of the
unit. This is not the IP address of the IP audio Dante interface if one is installed. This IP address can
not be accessed in recovery or restore defaults mode.
