Resetting the Unit
There are six reset modes that are available by pressing the
Reset
button on the front panel (IPL EXP RIO8) or rear panel (all other
models). The
Reset
button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint
pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it. See the reset modes table below
and on the next pages for a summary of the modes.
ATTENTION:
•
Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode
may result in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port
reassignment, or a unit reboot.
•
Analysez minutieusement les différents modes de réinitialisation.
Appliquer le mauvais mode de réinitialisation peut causer une
perte inattendue de la programmation de la mémoire flash, une
reconfiguration des ports ou une réinitialisation de l’unité.
NOTE:
If you press and hold the
Reset
button continuously, the LED blinks every
3 seconds, and the unit enters a different mode, from the Reset All IP Settings mode
through the Reset to Factory Defaults mode. For Reset to Factory Defaults mode the
LED blinks once at 3 seconds, twice at 6 seconds, and three times at 9 seconds; the
third set of blinks indicating the last mode. The modes are separate functions, not a
continuation from one mode to the next.

Run Factory Boot Code
Temporarily
boot up the
unit running
only the
universal
boot code,
then install
the desired
firmware.
Use this in
the event that

On the IPL EXP expansion interface hold down the recessed
Reset

the button down until the Reset or Power LED blinks twice or

during bootup. The expansion interface runs the factory boot
code (rather than full firmware).
2.
Upload new firmware to the unit as desired (see
NOTE:
Do not
continue to operate the expansion interface
using only the boot code. The unit requires a full firmware
package in order to be fully operational. If you want to use
the firmware version with which the unit shipped, you must
upload that version again (see the
Global Configurator Help
File
or
Toolbelt Help File
for firmware upload instructions).
The expansion interface firmware is
replaced.
If the unit is powered on in Run
Factory Boot Code mode, event scripts
and systems do not start. All user files and
settings such as drivers, adjustments, and IP
settings are maintained.
NOTE:
To return the unit to the firmware
version that was running prior to the
reset, cycle power to the unit instead of
installing new firmware.
