Resetting the Unit with the Reset Button

There are four reset modes (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with

Extron IPL products) that you can access by pressing the Reset button on the rear panel.

The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to

press it. See the table on page 13 for a summary of the reset modes.

CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result

in unintended loss of ﬂash memory programming, port reassignment, or

processor reboot.

NOTE: The reset modes listed in the table close all open IP and Telnet connections and

close all sockets. Also, each mode is a separate function, not a continuation

from mode 1 to mode 5.

Figure 5. Resetting the Annotator

NOTE: After a mode 1 reset is performed, update the Annotators’s ﬁrmware to the

latest version. Do not operate the ﬁrmware version that results from the

mode 1 reset. If the factory default ﬁrmware is to be used, that version must

be uploaded again.

If you do not want to update ﬁrmware, or you performed a mode 1 reset by

mistake, cycle power to the device to return to the ﬁrmware version that was

running before the mode 1 reset. Use the 0Q SIS command to conﬁrm that

the factory default ﬁrmware is no longer running (look for the asterisk [*]

following the version number).

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