3. Upon release of the ID Pushbutton, the Transmitter or Receiver restores itself to a factory firmware
image by executing the following actions:
a. Copy the boot code from the factory image to the boot block in flash memory.
b. Mark the boot parameter block in flash memory to indicate that the device should boot from
slot #0 (the factory application code slot).
c. Delete the application and boot code in flash memory slots #1 and #2.
d. Delete the IRL files stored on the device.
4. Once all writes to flash memory are completed, the LEDs all turn off, indicating the Transmitter or
Receiver is ready to reboot. The Transmitter or Receiver will automatically reboot to complete the
process.
Note: The ID Pushbutton and the Reset button are located on the left edge of the Wallplate TX.
To reset the Wallplate TX to its factory default firmware image:
1.
Press and hold the ID Pushbutton. While the ID Pushbutton is down, press and release the Reset
button. Start counting when the NetLinx LEDs begin to flash in unison, not when the Reset button is
released.
2. After the LEDs complete the following sequence, release both buttons:
Once the Wallplate TX has started booting up, all LEDs flash in unison at the rate of once per
second.
After 10 flashes at that rate, the LEDs will blink in unison at a faster rate.
After 10 seconds of flashing at the increased rate, all LEDs go to solid on.
3. Upon release, the Wallplate TX restores itself to a factory firmware image by executing the
following actions:
a. Copy the boot code from the factory image to the boot block in flash memory.
b. Mark the boot parameter block in flash memory to indicate that the device should boot from
slot #0 (the factory application code slot).
c. Delete the application and boot code in flash memory slots #1 and #2.
d. Delete the IRL files stored on the device.
4. Once all writes to flash memory are completed, the LEDs all turn off, indicating the Wallplate TX is
ready to reboot.
5. The Wallplate TX automatically reboots to complete the process.
