Extron electronic IPL T SFI244 Resetting the Controller, IPL T Series Reset Mode Summary

Resetting the Controller

There are five reset modes (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for the sake of comparison with other Extron IPL products) available by using the

Reset button (b) on the front panel. The Reset button is recessed, so use of a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker is suggested.

CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Use of the wrong reset mode may result in unintended loss of flash memory programming, reassignment of ports, or a unit reboot.

NOTE: Reset mode 2 does not apply to the IPL T CR48.
