Panel button.

Initialize Device button.

About Initial Values
The purpose of initial values is to provide a starting value for an FLN device in case
power is cycled. If the device is connected to a BACnet field panel, these values are
retained and sent to the device. If a device becomes damaged, the new device can be
addressed, and its application set, and the field panel will send the initial values so the
device is configured correctly.
The Initialize Device feature allows you to load initial values to a device if necessary.
Also, Individual points can be released through the Initial Value Editor.
