Resetting the Unit, Mode, Activation | Extron electronic IPL T PCS4

Resetting the Unit

There are four ways to reset the PCS4 unit (called modes 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with other Extron IPL products). Reset the unit by pressing the Reset button on the front panel (see “Front Panel Features” for the button location). This button is recessed; it can be accessed with a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or small Phillips screwdriver.

CAUTION: The reset modes described on the following pages break all TCP/IP connections by closing all sockets to the unit.

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

NOTES: • If the Reset button is continually held in, the LEDs pulse (blink) every

3 seconds, and the PCS4 is put in a different mode, corresponding to the

underscored notes in modes 3 through 5. The mode 5 LED blinks three times,

the third blink indicating that it is the last mode.

• The reset modes are separate functions, not a progression from mode 1 to mode 5.

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 PCS4 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 PCS4 returns to the firmware that was installed prior to the mode 1 reset.
