Using the ID Pushbutton
Use the ID Pushbutton (on the front panel of all EXB Modules) to perform various initial configuration
settings, as described in the following sections. The ID Pushbutton provides several functions, depending on
when and for how long the pushbutton is pressed and held:
Momentary press: If the device is in ID mode, a momentary press causes the module to identify
itself to the system. Note that a momentary press at any other time is ignored.
See the Using "Identify Mode" to Set the Device Address on the EXB Modules section (below) for
details.
10-Second Press and Hold (during runtime): If the ID Pushbutton is held for 10 seconds or longer
and then released during runtime (i.e., after boot completes), the unit will toggle between Static IP
and DHCP Mode IP addressing - after the button is released.
Note that after applying the new setting, the module will automatically reboot.
By default, EXB Modules are set to DHCP Mode (with link-local fallback).
See the Toggling Between Static and DHCP IP Addressing section on page 14 for details.
10-Second Press and Hold (during boot-up): If the ID Pushbutton is held for 10 seconds or longer
at boot, the module will reset to factory default parameters and reboot after release.
Press and hold the ID Pushbutton while plugging in the Ethernet / PoE connector. Begin counting
only when the LEDs begin to flash (as opposed to the moment that the connector is inserted).
Note that once the module has started booting up, all LEDs flash in unison at the rate of once per
second. After 10 flashes at this rate, the LEDs will flash in unison at a faster rate. At the point that
the blink rate increases (approximately 10 seconds after boot-up), release the pushbutton.
See the Performing a Factory Reset section on page 14 for details.
20-Second Press and Hold (during boot-up): If the ID Pushbutton is held for 20 seconds or longer
at boot, the module will reset to the factory default firmware image and reboot after release.
Press and hold the ID Pushbutton while plugging in the Ethernet / PoE connector. Begin counting
only when the LEDs begin to flash (as opposed to the moment that the connector is inserted).
Note that once the module has started booting up, all LEDs flash in unison at the rate of once per
second. After 10 flashes at this rate, the LEDs will blink in unison at a faster rate. After 10 seconds
of flashing at the increased rate, all LEDs go to solid on. At the point that the LEDs go to solid on
(approximately 20 seconds after boot-up), release the pushbutton.
See the Resetting the Unit to the Factory Default Firmware Image section on page 14 for details.
