Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
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.
4.
Once all actions in Step 3 are completed, the LEDs all turn off, indicating the Transmitter or Receiver is ready to
reboot.
The Transmitter or Receiver automatically reboots to complete the process.
* For a complete list of factory parameters, see the table on page 66.
To restore Wallplate TX or Decor Wallplate TX to its factory default firmware image:
Note:
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.
2.
After the LEDs complete the following sequence, release both buttons:
Once the unit 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, the unit 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 66.
