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 IPCPPro embedded control processors). 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 two pages
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.
• Analysez minutieusement 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 press and hold the Reset button continuously, the LED blinks every
3seconds, 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.
