accepted.

mode has been switched.
If power to the PCS4 is recycled while the unit is in executive mode, the
PCS4 remains in executive mode.
Resetting the Unit
There are four ways to reset the PCS4 unit (called modes 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake
of comparison with other Extron IPL products). Reset the unit by pressing the
Reset button on the front panel (see
Front Panel Features
in chapter 3 for the button
location). This button is recessed; it can be accessed with a pointed stylus,
ballpoint pen, or an Extron Tweeker (a small screwdriver provided with the unit).
CAUTION
The reset modes described on the following pages break all TCP/IP
connections by closing all sockets to the unit.
