Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
To reset Wallplate TX or Decor Wallplate TX to its factory default settings:
The ID Pushbutton and the Reset button are located on the left edge of the Wallplate TX and on the front
of the Decor Wallplate TX.
1.
Press and hold the ID Pushbutton. While the ID Pushbutton is down, press and release the Reset
button. Start counting when the NetLinx LEDs begin to flash in unison, not when the Reset button is
released.
Once the unit has started booting up, both NetLinx LEDs (on bottom edge) 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 boot will prevent the unit from attempting to come
online until the ID Pushbutton is released. The unit 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 unit will automatically reboot to complete the process.
Restore the Factory Firmware Image and Factory Default Parameters
During power up
– if the ID Pushbutton is held until the Control/NetLinx LEDs toggle back and forth
in unison approximately 30 times (10 slow, 20 fast) and then released when they go solid,
the module’s
factory firmware image will be restored. This procedure affects both the firmware version and the
parameters.
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, PDXL-2 (FG1090-170), or
PS-POE-AT-TC (FG423-84).
Important:
If a Transmitter or Receiver Module is receiving power from a switcher, on the module
disconnect the RJ-45 cable from the DXLink connector before starting the instructions below.
To restore the Transmitter or Receiver Module to its factory default firmware image:
1.
Press and hold the ID Pushbutton while plugging in the power connector (if the power source is
a switcher, plug in the RJ-45 connector into the DXLink port instead). Start counting when the
NetLinx LEDs begin to flash in unison,
not
when the power connector is inserted.
2.
After the LEDs complete the following sequence,
release the ID Pushbutton
:
Once the Transmitter or Receiver has started booting up, all 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.
After 10 seconds of flashing at the increased rate, all LEDs go to solid on.
3.
Upon release of the ID Pushbutton, the Transmitter or Receiver executes the following actions:
a.
Restores itself to its factory firmware image.
b.
Resets to factory default parameters*:
Deletes all IRL files stored on the device.
Resets to the default static IP address of 192.168.1.2 and default DHCP address of
169.254.2.2.
Resets to the default device number of 0 (when bound to a Master, it will receive a
dynamic device number from the Master).
Resets to NDP mode and being unbound.
* For a complete list of factory parameters, see the table on page 65.
