Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
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.
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.
