x
, the
LED blinks quickly. Use this mode to revert to factory firmware in the event of a firmware failure.
Do not continue to operate the control processor using the factory firmware version. If you want
to use the factory default firmware version, you must upload that version again.

Run/Stop Program
:
Hold down the
Reset
button for about 3 seconds, until the
Power

Reset
button momentarily (for <1 second) within 1 second. (Nothing happens if
the momentary press does not occur within 1 second.) The LED blinks 2 times if the program is

programs stopped by an IP settings reset.

DHCP toggle mode is supported on firmware version

When you disable the DHCP client, the unit reverts to using the previously-set static
IP address.

Reset
button for 6 seconds. After the Power LED blinks twice,

to factory default values without affecting user-loaded files. This reset mode also stops any
running programs.

Reset
button for 9 seconds. After the Power LED blinks
three times, release and momentarily press the

Obtaining Control Drivers
Extron provides an extensive selection of device drivers available on the
Extron website. If the system requires a control driver that is not already
available, you have the following options:
•
You can request a new serial (RS-232) or Ethernet driver from Extron.
•
Create your own custom IR device driver using Extron
IR Learner Pro software. Follow the directions in the
IR Learner
Pro Help File
to create a driver by using the remote control for
that device and the IR receiver port on the front panel of the
IPL Pro IRS8.

Rev. B: Changed wording of various items in the reset
modes summary:
For the Use Factory Firmware mode, changed
“replace” to “revert to factory”. Added more text
to clarify how long to hold the button, and on LED
behavior for units with versions prior to 2.x.
Per peer reviewer (Sean), added “
Do not continue
to operate the control processor using the factory
firmware version. If you want to use the factory
default firmware version, you must upload that
version again.
“
For the Reset All IP Settings mode, added “to factory
default values” and noted that the mode stops
running scripts/events.
Rev. B: Added Run/Stop Program mode and new
DHCP toggle mode.
Since rev. A: changed “ollowing” to “following” in the first sentence on pg. 7.
Corrected IPCP to IPL in the name of the user guide in the last sentence of the reset
modes summary section.
