card’s operational memory (located in its microprocessor’s RAM), thus clearing
up any corruption of data that may have occurred in the analog port interface
microprocessor. The interface and all connected panels and interfaces
momentarily stop their current activity and restart. The reset button must be
pressed for more than two seconds to take effect.
If the entire system is operating except for one analog port interface, or one or
more panels connected to the interface, press the reset button for that
interface only.
This button is slightly recessed from the front panel to prevent it from being
accidentally pressed. A tool such as a bent paper clip is required to press this
button.
12.3.2.2 CPU card Reset button
When the CPU card is reset by pressing its reset button, the card’s non-volatile
memory reloads all configuration information to the card’s microprocessor.
Resetting the card clears any corruption of data in the card’s microprocessor.
The card momentarily stops its current activity and restarts. The same system
configuration that was active before the card was reset will be active after the
reset.
The reset button is slightly recessed from the front panel to prevent it from
being accidentally pressed. A tool such as a bent paper clip is required to press
this button.
12.3.2.3 CPU card Full Reset button
Press and hold the full-reset button and simultaneously press the reset button
for the system to perform a cold restart. All cards in the matrix reset
regardless of any system preferences in the program software. All audio
devices connected to the cards, such as panels and interfaces, reset as well.
When the cards and connected audio devices reset, they momentarily stop
their current activity and restart. During this process configuration information
is downloaded to the port cards and connected audio devices from the CPU
card’s microprocessor.
The same system configuration that was active before the card was reset will
be active after the reset. The button must be pressed for more than two
seconds for the reset to take effect.
Under normal operating conditions it is not necessary to perform a full reset.
Technical personnel might perform a full restart if they believe that the CPU
card is operating incorrectly as a result of corruption of the microprocessor’s
internal data or instruction sequence.
