Briefly press and release the ID Pushbutton on the Transmitter or Receiver.
The Transmitter or Receiver will exhibit the following behavior:
Respond with an ID Mode address response.
Report its old address offline.
Report its new address online.
The OnLine Tree will refresh to display the new device address for the Transmitter or Receiver.
Note:
NetLinx Studio (v3.3 or higher) provides the ability to auto-increment IP Addresses and
Hostnames as well as Device and System Numbers. Refer to the NetLinx Studio online help for
details.
Reset the Factory Default Settings
During power up –
if the ID Pushbutton is held until the Control/NetLinx LEDs toggle back and forth in
unison approximately 10 times, then released when the faster blinking starts, the Transmitter or Receiver
will reset to its factory default settings, which affect the parameters but
not
the firmware version.

Instructions for the modules are given first followed by the instructions for the Wallplate TX and the
Decor Wallplate TX, which receive power over DXLink from the switcher.
Important:
If a Transmitter or Receiver Module is receiving power from a switcher, disconnect the
DXLink connector on the module and reattach to apply power.
To reset a Transmitter or Receiver Module to its factory default settings:
1.
Press and hold the ID Pushbutton while plugging in the power connector. Start counting when the
NetLinx LEDs begin to flash in unison,
not
when the power connector is inserted.
Once the Transmitter or Receiver Module has started booting up, both NetLinx LEDs flash in
unison at the rate of once per second.
After 10 flashes at that rate, the LEDs will blink in unison at a faster rate.
Note:
A press-and-hold of the ID Pushbutton at power up will prevent the Transmitter or Receiver
from attempting to come online until the ID Pushbutton is released. The Transmitter or Receiver will
only attempt to come online if you release the Pushbutton prior to the faster blink rate.
2.
At the point that the blink rate increases, release the ID Pushbutton.
3.
The Transmitter or Receiver will automatically reboot to complete the process.
