Reset Button
The reset button does the following three functions:
• Firmware recovery: Press the Reset button while cycling power if 
communication during a firmware upgrade is interrupted that causes 
the module to become inoperable. Cycle power to the module while 
pressing the button. This places the adapter in Safe mode so that you can 
flash it again.
• Recover a lost IP address: Press and hold the Reset button while cycling 
power. This places the module in Safe mode. Cycle power again without 
holding the Reset button. This re-enables BootP mode. The adapter 
requests a new IP address.
• Fault reset: Certain faults on an I/O module require a hard reset. 
Pressing the Reset button during operation resets the fault.
Repeat the above steps to install the redundant adapter.
