seconds the LED pulses (blink) and puts the unit in a
different reset mode, corresponding to the underscored
notes in modes 3 through 5. The mode 5 LED blinks
three times, the third blink indicating that it’s the last
mode.
The following modes are listed as separate functions, not
as a continuation from mode 1 to mode 5.
Mode 1 — Holding the reset button while applying power
defaults the unit back to the base firmware that shipped
with the unit from the factory. Event scripting does not
start when the unit is powered on in this mode. This

updated firmware running. All user files and settings are
maintained. User Web pages may not work correctly with
an earlier firmware version.
Mode 2 — Momentarily (<1 second) pressing the reset button
and entering three “+”s into the RS-232 port of the
interface card (e.g., “+++” within 2 seconds of the
momentary press) enables the connected COM port to be
used as a console port to send SIS commands. If the three
“+”s are not entered in the 2 second time frame, the COM
port remains or returns to being a control port only.
A mode 2 reset disconnects a pass-through connection.
Mode 3 — Holding the reset button until the Power LED
once (3 seconds), followed by a momentary
(<1 second) press turns events either On or Off,
depending on the current state of the events:
• If the events are currently stopped following the
momentary (<1 second) press, the Power LED flashes
twice, indicating the starting of events.
Review the reset modes carefully. Use of the wrong
reset mode may result in unintended loss of flash
memory programming, reassignment of ports, or a
IPL M PDP-ES reboot.
The listed reset modes (with the exception of
mode 2) closes all open IP connections to the unit.

• If events are currently running following the
momentary (<1 second) press, the Power LED flashes
three times, indicating the stopping of events.
Each flash lasts for .25 seconds. Nothing happens if the
momentary press does not occur within 1 second.
Mode 4 — Holding the reset button until the Power LED blinks
twice (6 seconds), followed by a momentary (<1 second)
press resets IP settings. The Power LED blinks four times
in quick succession, confirming a mode 4 reset. This mode
does the following:
1. Enables ARP program capability.
2. Sets the IP address back to its factory IP address.
3. Sets the Subnet address back to its factory default.
4. Sets the Gateway back to its factory default.
5. Sets Port mapping back to its factory default.
6. Turns DHCP off.
7. Turns events off.
Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur
within one second.
Mode 5 — Holding the reset button until the Power LED blinks
three times (9 seconds) followed by a momentary
(<1 second) press causes an absolute system reset back to
factory default conditions (except for firmware
upgrades). Nothing happens if the momentary press
does not occur within 1 second. The power LED blinks
four times in quick succession, confirming a mode 5 reset.
