Extron electronic 68-1383-01 REV. E manual Rear Panel Operations, Performing a Hard Reset Reset

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 small screwdriver, a pointed stylus, or a ballpoint pen.

See table 7 on the next page for a summary of the modes.

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

NOTE: The reset modes listed on the next page 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.

Performing a Hard Reset (Reset 1)

The hard reset function restores the switcher to the base firmware that it was shipped with. After a hard reset, events do not automatically start, but user settings and files are restored.

Perform a hard reset as follows:

NOTE: The hard reset restores the factory-installed firmware. The switcher reverts

to that factory firmware the next time power is cycled off and on unless a firmware update is performed before the power cycle.

1.If necessary, turn off power to the switcher.

2.Press and hold the Reset button on the rear panel while you apply AC power to the switcher (see figure 42).

Press and hold the button while you apply power.

RESET

The switcher flashes the front panel button indicators green, red, and amber and then turns them off.

Power

Continue to hold the Reset button until all input and output buttons return to either unlit or to background illumination and the Video and Audio buttons turn on.

Release the Reset button.
