How to Overwrite Flash Memory with the RST Button
Introduction
Pushing the RST button (see page 49) causes the island bus to reconfigure itself
with factory default operating parameters.
The RST function allows you to reconfigure the operating parameters and values of
an island by overwriting the current configuration in Flash memory. RST functionality
affects the configuration values associated with the I/O modules on the island, the
operational mode of the island, and the CFG port parameters.
The RST function is performed by holding down the RST button (see page 49) for at
least two seconds. The RST button is enabled only in edit mode. In protected mode
(see page 240), the RST button is disabled; pressing it has no effect.
NOTE: Pressing the RST button does not affect network settings. (In this case, the
STB NIP 2311 NIM keeps its IP parameters.)
RST Configuration Scenarios
The following scenarios describe some of the ways that you can use the RST
function to configure your island:
z Restore factory-default parameters and values to an island, including to the I/O
modules and the CFG port (see page 33).
z Add a new I/O module to a previously auto-configured (see page 48) island.
If a new I/O module is added to the island, pressing the RST button forces the
auto-configuration process. The updated island configuration data is
automatically written to Flash memory.
CAUTION

Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
