Setup Guide

16 SMX System MultiMatrix Switcher • Front Panel Operation

Using Reset Levels

The rear panel has a recessed Reset button (see page 3) that initiates

four levels of resets (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5). Use a pointed stylus,

ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it and select the reset level.

See the Reset Mode Table on page 17 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.

NOTES: • The reset modes listed below close all open IP and

Telnet connections and sockets. Also, the following

modes are separate functions, not a continuation from

mode 1 to mode 5.

• If the reset button is continuously held down, the I/O

lights ﬂash every 3 seconds as the next reset level is

reached, corresponding to modes 3, 4, and 5.

Reset Mode Uses

Use mode 1 to revert to the factory default ﬁrmware version if

compatibility issues arise with user-loaded ﬁrmware (see notes on

page 17).

Use mode 3 to restart the communication and control events.

Use mode 4 to reset most IP protocols to their default settings.

Use mode 5 to restore the switcher to the default conditions.

NOTE: Mode 5 reset clears most adjustment. To save these

settings, use the SMX Control Program and the File >

Save MATRIX settings as... selection before you

perform this reset (see Conguration and Control on

page 32).
