Extron electronic IPL T PC1i manual Mode, Activation, Result, Purpose and notes

Mode 1

Activation	Hold in the Reset button while applying power to the unit.
Result	Returns the unit to the default base firmware that was shipped
	with the PC1 from the factory. Event scripting does not start when
	the unit is powered on in this mode.
Purpose and notes	Use mode 1 to remove a version of firmware if incompatibility
	issues arise. All user files and settings are maintained. User web
	pages may not work correctly if you are using an earlier firmware
	version.

NOTE: After a mode 1 reset, the factory-installed firmware version remains in effect

only until the unit is powered off. After a power cycle, the PC1 returns to the firmware that was installed prior to the mode 1 reset.

Mode 2

Activation	To enter mode 2, you use both the PC1 front panel and your
	computer, as follows:
	1. On the computer, open a command interface, such as Extron
	DataViewer or HyperTerminal.
	2. Immediately press the Reset button momentarily (for less than
	1 second).
	NOTE: Nothing happens if the momentary press does
	not occur within 1 second.
	3. Within 2 seconds of the momentary press, press the <+>
	key on the computer keyboard three times.
Result	The RS-232 port is converted to a host port, which allows the use
	of SIS commands and host responses.
	No LEDs blink to indicate the mode switch. If the switch to mode 2
	is successful and serial port communication is enabled, the interface
	screen displays one of the following copyright messages:
	• (c) Copyright 2011, Extron Electronics, IPL T PC1,
	Vn.nn, 60-544-nn
	• (c) Copyright 2011, Extron Electronics, IPL T PC1i,
	Vn.nn, 60-544-nn
Purpose and notes By default, the RS-232 port is a device control port. In mode 2, the
	serial port is able to receive SIS commands.
	NOTE: If you do not enter the three plus (+) signs within 2
	seconds of the momentary press of the Reset button,
	the RS-232 port reverts to a device control port.
