Resetting the unit
There are four reset modes (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5
for the sake of comparison with an Extron IPL
product) that are available by pressing the Reset
button on the side panel. The Reset button is
recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or
Extron Tweeker to access it. See the following table
for a summary of the modes.
CAUTION
Review the reset modes carefully.
Using the wrong reset mode may result in unintended loss of flash
memory programming, port reassignment, or controller reboot.
The reset modes listed below close all open IP and Telnet connections and close
all sockets. Also, the following modes are separate functions, not a
continuation from Mode 1 to Mode 5.
