IPL EXP Power Expansion Interface Reset Mode Summary
Activation
To start the Run Universal Boot Code reset mode and replace
firmware:
1. On the IPL EXP expansion interface hold down the
recessed Reset button while applying power to the unit.
Keep holding the button down until the Reset or Power LED
blinks twice or for 6 seconds, then release the button. The
LED blinks slowly during bootup. The expansion interface
runs the factory boot code (rather than full firmware).
2. Upload new firmware to the unit as desired (see
the Firmware on page 52 for details).
NOTE: Do not continue to operate the expansion interface
using only the boot code. The unit requires a full firmware
package in order to be fully operational. If you want to
use the firmware version with which the unit shipped,
you must upload that version again (see the Global
Configurator Help File or Toolbelt Help File for firmware
upload instructions).
To enable or disable the DHCP client for the LAN port:
1. Press the Reset button five times (consecutively).
2. Release the button. Do not press the button within
3 seconds following the fifth press.
NOTE: By default DHCP is off for the LAN port and the unit
uses a static IP address.
