Resetting the Unit There ar e four ways to r eset the PCS4 unit (called modes 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with other Extron IPL pr oducts). Reset the unit by pr essing the Reset button on the front panel (see “ Fr ont Panel Featur es ” for the button location). This button is recessed; it can be accessed with a pointed stylus, bal[...]

Mode 3 Activation Hold the Reset button in until the Power LED blinks once (approximately 3 seconds). Release it, then immediately pr ess it again momentarily (for less than 1 second). NOTE: Nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second. Result T urns events on or off, depending on their current state. During resetting, the [...]

HTML Configuration and Contr ol The IPL T PCS4 must be configured befor e use, or it cannot contr ol other devices. In addition to using the buttons on the PCS4 front panel, you can configur e and contr ol the PCS4 via any computer attached to a LAN by using the embedded web pages or SIS commands. This section describes the web pages and provides i[...]

3. If the PCS4 has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, skip to step 4 . If not, perform a mode 4 system reset to r estor e the factory-set values (see “ Resetting the Unit ” in the “Front Panel Featur es and Operations” section for the r esetting procedur e). NOTE: The PCS4 must be configured with the factory defa[...]
