Resetting the Unit
There are four reset modes that are available by pressing the
Reset button on the front panel (for most models) or the rear panel (for
the IPCPPro350M). The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed
stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it. See the reset
modes table below and on the next page for a summary of the modes.
ATTENTION:
• Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode
may result in unintended loss of flash memory programming,
port reassignment, or a unit reboot.
• Étudier de près les différents modes de réinitialisation.
Appliquer le mauvais mode de réinitialisation peut causer une
perte inattendue de la programmation de la mémoire flash, une
reconfiguration des ports ou une réinitialisation de l’unité.
NOTE: If you hold down the reset button continuously, the LED blinks every 3seconds,
and the unit enters a different mode, from the Reset all IP Settings mode through
the Reset to Factory Defaults mode. For Reset to Factory Defaults mode the LED
blinks three times, the third blink indicating the last mode. The modes are separate
functions, not a continuation from one mode to the next.

To start the Use Factory Firmware reset mode and replace
firmware:
1. On the control processor, hold down the recessed Reset
button while applying power to the unit. Hold the button
down until the Power LED flashes twice, then relesase the
button. The control processor enters factory firmware mode,
and the LED flashes quickly.
2. Upload new firmware to the unit as desired (see Updating
the Firmware on page37 for details).
NOTE: Do not continue to operate the IPCPPro control
processor using the factory firmware version. If you want to
use the factory default firmware version, you must upload
that version again. See the Global Configurator Help file for
firmware upload instructions.
The control processor reverts to the
factory default firmware. Event scripting
does not start if the unit is powered on in
this mode. All user files and settings such
as drivers, adjustments, and IP settings are
maintained.
NOTE: To return the unit to the firmware
version that was running prior to the
reset, cycle power to the unit.
