Extron electronic MPX 866 A manual Rear Panel Operations, See Matrix Software

Rear Panel Operations

The rear panel has a Reset button that initiates four levels of resets (identified as modes 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 small screwdriver to access it.

For different reset levels, press and hold the button while the switcher is running or press and hold the button while you apply power to the switcher.

See the following table 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 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.
