NBP 1200C • Setup Guide (Continued)
Reset Modes: a Brief Summary
The NBP Series button panels offer the following reset modes:
• Use Factory Firmware: Press and hold the Reset button while applying power to the unit. Keep holding the button
down until the Reset LED blinks twice, or for 6 seconds, then release the button. The unit enters
factory firmware mode. Use this mode to revert to factory firmware in the event of a firmware
failure.
Do not continue to operate the unit using the factory rmware version. If you want to use the
factory default rmware version, you must upload that version again.
• Toggle DHCP Client: Press the Reset button five times (consecutively). Release the button. Do not press the button
within 3seconds following the fifth press. Use this mode to enable or disable the DHCP client
for the LAN port.
• The Reset LED blinks 6 times if the DHCP client is enabled.
• The Reset LED blinks 3 times if the DHCP client is disabled.
NOTES:
• By default DHCP is off and the unit uses a static IP address.
• When you disable the DHCP client by using this mode, the unit reverts to using the
previously-set static IP address.
• Reset All IP Settings: Press and hold the Reset button for 6 seconds. After the Reset LED blinks twice, release and
momentarily press the Reset button. Use this mode to reset all network settings to factory
default values without affecting user-loaded files.
• Reset to Factory Defaults: Press and hold the Reset button for 9 seconds. After the Reset LED blinks three times, release
and momentarily press the Reset button within 1 second. Use this mode to return the unit to
factory default settings.
For detailed information on each mode and its use, see the Network Button Panels User Guide at www.extron.com.
