Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
Tip:
In the following two procedures – if you start a press-and-hold sequence with the ID Pushbutton and then
decide not to change the settings, before you release the ID Pushbutton remove power from the unit to abort
the procedure.
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.
Factory Parameters*
Default static IP address of 192.168.1.2
Default dynamic (DHCP) address of 169.254.2.2
Default device number of 0
NDP mode (page 119)
Unbound state
No IRL files
* For a complete list of factory parameters, see the table on page 67.
To reset a Transmitter or Receiver 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 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 ID 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.
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 unit’s factory firmware image will be
restored. This procedure affects both the firmware version and the parameters.
To restore the Transmitter or Receiver to its factory default firmware image:
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.
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 the 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 67.
