Extron electronic 6400s manual Rear Panel Operations, Reset Mode Comparison/Summary

Operation, cont’d

Rear Panel Operations

The rear panel has a Reset button that initiates four levels of resets (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with an Extron IPL product). The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it.

See the following table for a summary of the modes.

CReview the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a controller reboot.

NThe reset modes listed below close all open IP and Telnet connections and close all sockets. Also, the following modes are separate functions, not a continuation from Mode 1 to Mode 5.
