Mode 5 performs a complete reset to
factory defaults (with the exception of the
firmware):
• Does everything mode 4 does
• Resets almost all real time adjustments:
clears all ties and presets, clears all audio
or RS-232 mutes, clears all I/O grouping,
clears all RGB delay settings to zero, and
clears all input and output audio settings
(see the SMX User Guide for more details
on these features)
• Resets all IP options
• Removes/clears all files for the SMX
The reset LED flashes four times in quick
succession confirming the reset.
NOTES: • After a mode 1 reset is performed, update the firmware
to the latest version. Do not operate the SMX firmware
version that results from the mode 1 reset. To use factory
default firmware, upload that version again.
• If you do not want to update firmware, or you performed
a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle power to the SMX 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.
