3.3 – Factory Reset
******************************************************* IMPORTANT ******************************************************
The factory reset returns the entire device to its factory defaults. Using this feature will mean all custom AES67 settings
and all audio power-on default settings will be cleared.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
*NOTE:
The factory reset is a useful way of quickly restoring communications with a device which has an unknown static
IP address as a factory reset returns the device’s network settings to getting a dynamic IP. Having successfully completed
a factory reset of the device, setting the PC’s IP address to also obtain a dynamic IP address should then allow the PC to
communicate fully with that device.
The factory reset button is accessed through a small hole on the front of the unit using a small screwdriver or a paperclip.
A factory reset is initiated by pressing and holding this button for 5 seconds or more while the device is running and then
releasing it. If done correctly, the status will change state as the unit goes through a reset process. If the LED’s remain
green immediately after releasing the button, that is an indication the button was not held for long enough and the factory
reset was not applied.
Having applied a successful factory reset, on the AES67 side, customized device name and channel names will be cleared,
the transmit stream data cleared and disabled and any receiver stream data will be removed. The network settings will
also be reset so the device will return to retrieving an IP address dynamically. The power-up defaults for the audio settings
are also cleared. For every input, input gain is set back to 0dB while the input pad and phantom power settings are turned
off. For every output, output volume is set to maximum (0dB) and the output mute is disabled.
3.4 – Firmware Updates
The u has the ability to be updated. Updates are applied via the network using Attero Tech unIFY Control Panel’s
Smart Firmware update facility. The latest u SFU file is available from the Attero Tech customer portal.
3.5 – 3rd Party Control
The u supports 3
rd
party control allowing external system to manage the u’s settings such as phantom
power, mic/line gain options and control of presets. The interface which is available to anyone to use with any device
capable of sending and receiving UDP messages.
Information on the commands the u supports as well as details of how to use the 3
rd
party UDP interface can be
found in the unIFY 3
rd
party Software API document, available from the registered users section of the Attero Tech website
(Go to

and click on the log-in option).
3.6 – Using the Command interface
In order to make use of the command interface, the u simply needs to be configured with an IP address that is
compatible with whatever device is doing the controlling. The control device should then be able to converse directly with
the u without any further configuration necessary.
