Description

Maintenance Mode is used for initializing and resetting the PViQ Patch Panel. This mode provides the
capabilities to perform panel reconfigurations, firmware updates, system level technical functions, and
troubleshooting without generating extraneous SNMP traps and patch cord status changes to the
SmartZone Software Server from other connected PViQ™ devices in the connectivity zone.

Performing the Procedure

1. Press and hold both buttons on the Panel Manager
(PM) Interface Unit for about 5 seconds.
a. The panel will beep once when the buttons are
initially pushed and again after 2 seconds.
b. After 5 seconds, the Mode LED will blink green,
indicating that the panel has recognized the request to enter Maintenance Mode.
NOTE: If the Mode LED does not blink green after 5 seconds:
a) Double check that the Interface Unit is for a PM and not an Expansion Module (EM)
b) Double check that the unit is getting power
c) Double check that the PM module is fully inserted into the PV
2. Release both buttons simultaneously.
