Operation

In operation, many ALIF installations require no intervention once configured. The TX and
RX units take care of all connection control behind the scenes so that you can continue
to work unhindered.

RESETTING

The recessed reset button provides a way to take control of the ALIF101T if normal
operation is affected. You will need a thin implement, such as a straightened out paper
clip to press and hold the button. Depending on when you release the button, one of
three functions will occur:
Required function
To reboot to the primary firmware version
To boot to the backup firmware version*
To restore factory settings and reboot
* The backup firmware version has no video or USB functionality. Once invoked, you will need
to load an upgrade file to restore normal operation - see page 9.
To reset the ALIF101T
1 Power on the ALIF101T unit.
2 Use a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-hold the
recessed reset button. The status indicators will immediately turn red:
3 Release the reset switch at the appropriate time (see the table above).
NOTE: If you are performing a factory reset and intend to disconnect the
power immediately after the reset, you must wait at least 30 seconds after
you have released the reset button for it to complete the process.
