Reset button and LED — Pressing this button causes various IP functions
and Ethernet connection settings to be reset to the factory defaults. The
adjacent green LED flashes depending on the selected reset mode (see
“Resetting the Unit” below and see the reset modes table for details).
Resetting the Unit
There are several reset modes that are available by pressing the Reset button. The Reset
button is recessed, so use an Extron Tweeker, a pointed stylus, or a ballpoint pen 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.
• 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 hold down 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.
