PRELIMINARY Front Panel Features and Operation, cont’d 3-4 Resetting There are five ways to reset the PC1 unit (reset modes). Reset the unit by pressing the Reset button on the front panel. This button is recessed, and can be accessed with an Extron Tweeker or other small Phillips screwdriver. CAUTION CAUTION IPL T PC1 R IPL T PC1 Front Panel Features and Operation POWER Review the reset modes carefully. Use of the wrong reset mode may cause unintended loss of flash memory programming or a unit reboot. The reset modes described on the following pages break all TCP/IP connections by closing all sockets to the unit. TX RX Recessed Reset Button Use tip of Philips head on Tweeker to activate. Reset button I INPUT IR 100 LINK ACT Mode 1 (reset firmware) If the Reset button is continually held in, the Power LED pulses (blinks) every 3 seconds, and with each pulse, the PC1 goes into a different reset mode. For mode 5, the LED blinks three times, indicating that it is the last mode. The reset modes are separate functions, not a progression from mode 1 to mode 5. Activation — Hold in the Reset button while applying power to the unit. Result — Returns the unit to the default base firmware that was shipped with the PC1 from the factory. Event scripting does not start when the unit is powered on in this mode. Purpose and notes — Use mode 1 to remove a version of firmware if incompatibility issues arise. All user files and settings are maintained. User Web pages may not work correctly if you are using an earlier firmware version. Mode 2 (enable host port) After a mode 1 reset, the factory-installed firmware version remains in effect only until the unit is powered off. After a power cycle, the PC1 returns to the firmware that was installed prior to the mode 1 reset. Activation — To enter mode 2 you use both the PC1 front panel and your computer, as follows: 1. On the computer, open a command interface, such as DataViewer. 2. Momentarily (for less than 1 second) press the Reset button. 3. Within 2 seconds of the momentary press, enter +++ on the computer keyboard.

Result — The RS-232 port is converted to a host port, which allows the use of SIS commands and host responses. No LEDs blink to indicate the mode switch. If the switch to mode 2 is successful and serial port communication is enabled, the interface screen displays one of the following the copyright messages: (c) Copyright 2007, Extron Electronics, IPL T PC1, Vx.xx, 60-544-xx (c) Copyright 2007, Extron Electronics, IPL T PC1i Vx.xx, 60-544-xx Purpose and notes — By default, the RS-232 is a device control port. In mode 2, the serial port is able to receive SIS commands. If you do not enter the three plus (+) signs within 2 seconds of the momentary press of the Reset button, the RS-232 port reverts to a device control port. Mode 3 (toggle event scripting on and off) Activation — Hold the Reset button in until the Power LED blinks one time (about 3 seconds). Release it, then immediately press it again momentarily (for less than 1 second). Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second. Result — Turns events on or off, depending on their current state. During resetting, the reset LED flashes: Two times if events are starting Three times if events are stopping Purpose and notes — This mode is used for troubleshooting. Mode 4 (reset IP settings) Activation — Hold the Reset button in until the Power LED blinks two times (about 6 seconds). Release it, then immediately press it again momentarily (for less than 1 second). The Power LED blinks four times in quick succession, confirming a mode 4 reset. Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second. Result — Reset mode 4 does the following: Enables ARP program capability. Sets IP address back to factory IP settings. Sets Subnet address back to factory default. Sets Gateway address back to factory default. Sets port mapping back to factory default. Turns DHCP off. Turns events off. Purpose and notes — Mode 4 enables you to set IP address information using ARP and the MAC address without affecting any files on the unit.
