Reconfig button
The “Reconfig” button on the back of the AX Center should not be used during normal installation. It is generally
intended as an ultimate recovery function in case something goes wrong during programming of IP addresses or
a software upgrade, e.g. an unintended power loss. It allows the AX Center to start in various “basic” modes so it
can be restored without having to be returned to the factory.
The “Reconfig” button is accessed via a hole in the rear panel using a pen or a similar pointed item. A green LED
is visible through the hole. When the “Reconfig” button is activated, the LED will light up indicating the two
reconfig modes of the AX CENTER.

The AX CENTER enters a
recovery
mode. In this
mode only a basic boot software is operative in
the unit, and new software can be downloaded
via the DADman software. This mode is used if
the software in the AX CENTER for some reason is
not operative or broken.
The IP address settings of the unit are the last
setting used in the unit.

The AX CENTER remains in reconfig mode as
described above.
The IP address settings of the unit is however set
to DHCP. In case there is no DHCP server on the
network, the AX CENTER will default to IP address
10.0.7.20 / 255.255.0.0 after approx. 2 minutes.
The selection of either of the two recovery modes are fixed after selection. The AX CENTER will start with a basic
boot software and IP configuration. The AX CENTER will not be operational until a proper firmware has been
downloaded via the DADman software and it has been restarted. By enabling recovery mode with default IP
address and network configuration the unit can always be identified on a network via the default setup.
Note that the IP address referred to is the IP address of the controller/management interface of the
unit. This is not the IP address of the IP audio interface if a such is installed. This IP address cannot
be accessed in recovery or restore defaults mode.
