Configuration
The PVS 407D switcher can be controlled by a MediaLink Controller (MLC) or by an
RS-232 device acting through the MLC. Alternatively, the switcher can be set up and
controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the
front panel USB connector or direct connection to the Ethernet, or to the rear panel
RS-232 remote port of the switcher.
The control device (host) can use either the SIS commands or use the Extron Product
Configuration Software (PCS).
NOTE:
starting on page 19 for a full list of
the relevant SIS commands.
Firmware updates (using Firmware Loader or PCS) can be made via the front panel USB
port or a TCP/IP connection over the network.
Resetting the Switcher
The switcher can be reset to the factory defaults using PCS software or SIS commands,
when connected via the front panel USB, rear panel RS-232, or TCP/IP (LAN connection).
NOTE:
The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have
been set to the device serial number. In the event of a complete system reset, the
passwords convert to the default, which is no password for this device. Passwords
are case sensitive.
The reset button on the front panel (see
on page 10) is a small recessed
switch that allows the user to put the switcher into any one of three different reset modes.
The PVS 407D switcher reset modes are:
•
Mode 1
: If the reset button is held down while the switcher is being powered up, the
switcher runs the base factory firmware instead of any newer version that was loaded
after it shipped.
•
Mode 3
(Available in firmware version 5.02 or above)
:
Reset all device settings to
factory default values, but retains user loaded files and IP settings. This reset mode is
equivalent to
.
•
Mode 4
: If the reset button is held down long enough for the Status LED (see
A
) to blink twice (about 6 seconds), then released and momentarily
pressed again (within 1 second), the switcher resets all of its IP settings including IP
address, subnet mask, gateway address, and port maps. Also, DHCP is turned off.
•
Mode 5
: If the reset button is held down long enough for the Status LED to blink
three times (about 9 seconds), then released and momentarily pressed again (within 1
second), the switcher resets all its settings (switcher AV & IP settings) back to factory
default condition. All files (including audio files) are removed/ cleared. This reset mode
is equivalent to
.
With firmware version 5.02 and higher, Mode 5 also clears the device passwords if
they were set previously.
NOTES:
•
If the second momentary press does not occur within 1 second, the reset
procedure is aborted.
•
SIS commands
resets also reset the connected
wallplate(s).
•
It takes approximately 4 seconds for the connected wallplate(s) to fully boot
up after a reset.
