The functions performed depend on when and for how long the ID Pushbutton is pressed and held.
ID Pushbutton functions can also be implemented using Telnet commands (see page 111).
Tip: To monitor the ID Pushbutton boot state of a module by its NetLinx LED behavior, see page 71.
Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP
DXLink Transmitters and Receivers support both DHCP and static IP addresses. When the #3 Toggle
is ON (see page 42), the modules automatically use DHCP with link-local fallback. However, you can
use a static IP address which can be set via a Telnet command (SET IP), or you can use the factory
default static IP address. The default static IP address can be recalled at any time by resetting the unit to
its factory default configuration (see page 68). The default dynamic (DHCP) address is 169.254.2.2.
The ID Pushbutton can be used to toggle between the DHCP and Static IP Modes.

Reset the unit to its factory default settings, which affects the parameters but not the firmware
version (see page 68)
Restore the unit to its factory firmware image, which affects both the firmware version and the
