To perform a manual factory reset

A factory reset returns ALIF2100 unit to its default configuration.

1  Power on the ALIF2100 unit.
2  Use a long narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-hold the recessed 

reset button on the front panel for roughly ten seconds, until the status indicator turns 

blue

 

(Note: 

alternating red/green indications will occur during the ten second period while the button is still pressed)

3  Release the reset switch. The indicator will change to 

red

 for a short while (less than ten seconds) 

and then back to 

blue

 while ALIF2100 unit performs the reset and should then change to an 

alternative color, usually 

orange

 initially, signifying that the operation is complete.

 

Note: If you are performing a factory reset and intend to disconnect the power immediately after the reset, 

you must wait at least 30 seconds after you have released the reset button for it to complete the process.

Teaming

ALIF2100 units are ready to automatically invoke teaming whenever 
the CATx and SFP 

(with either CATx or fiber modules installed)

 ports 

are both used to link transmitters and receivers. Teaming potentially 
doubles the available bandwidth for video intensive applications and 

also provides redundancy in case one link is lost.

* The units benefit from multiple audio signal streams: 

• 

Uni-directional analog audio

 - from the host 

PCs jack socket,

• 

Bi-directional digital audio

 - via the USB 

connection (converted to/from analog),

• 

Bi-directional digital audio

 - via the video 

connection.
