Rear Panel Operations

The rear panel has a Reset button that initiates four levels of resets (identified as modes
1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with an Extron IPL product). The Reset button is
recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or small screwdriver to access it.
For different reset levels, press and hold the button while the switcher is running or press
and hold the button while you apply power to the switcher.
See the following table for a summary of the modes.
CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result
NOTE:
Mode Activation
1 Hold down the recessed Reset button
while applying power to the switcher.
NOTE: After a mode 1 reset is
performed, update the switcher
firmware to the latest version. Do not
operate the switcher firmware version
that results from the mode 1 reset. If
you want to use the factory default
firmware, you must upload that
version again (see "Matrix Software"
for details on uploading firmware).
3 Hold down the Reset button for about
3 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks
once, then press Reset momentarily
(<1 second) within 1 second.
4 Hold down the Reset button for
about 6 seconds, until the Reset
LED blinks twice (once at 3 seconds
and again at 6 seconds). Then press
Reset momentarily (<1 second) within
1 second.
5 Hold down the Reset button for
about 9 seconds, until the Reset LED
blinks three times (once at 3 seconds,
again at 6 seconds, and then again
at 9 seconds). Then press Reset
momentarily (<1 second) within
1 second.

in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a
controller reboot.
The reset modes listed below close all open IP and Telnet connections and close
all sockets. Also, the following modes are separate functions, not a continuation
from Mode 1 to Mode 5.
Reset Mode Comparison/Summary
Result
The switcher reverts to the factory default firmware. Event
scripting will not start if the switcher is powered on in
this mode. All user settings and files, such as the current
configuration and IP settings, are maintained.
NOTE: If you do not want to update firmware, or you
performed a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle power
to the switcher 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.
Mode 3 turns events on or off. During resetting, the Reset
LED flashes 2 times if events are starting, 3 times if events
are stopping.
Mode 4:
• Enables ARP capability.
• Sets the IP address to the factory default
• Sets the subnet address to the factory default.
• Sets the gateway address to the factory default.
• Sets port mapping to the factory default.
•
Turns DHCP off.
• Turn events off.
The Reset LED flashes three times in quick succession
during the reset.
Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults
(with the exception of the firmware):
• Does everything mode 4 does.
• Resets most settings including:
clears all ties and presets
clears all output mutes
clears all I/O grouping
• Resets all IP options.
• Removes/clears all files for the switcher.
The reset LED flashes three times in quick succession
during the reset.
Purpose/Notes
Use mode 1 to revert
to the factory default
firmware version if
incompatibility issues
arise with user-loaded
firmware.
Mode 3 is useful for
troubleshooting.
Mode 4 enables you
to set IP address
information using ARP
and the MAC address.
Mode 5 is useful if
you want to start over
with configuration
and uploading or to
replace events.
Same as
