Resetting the FP-20xx
1
If the FP-20xx is not able to communicate with the network, you can manually
reset the unit to its factory settings. In this state, you should always be able to
browse for the FP-20xx using Remote System Explorer, if it is on the same
physical subnet as your host computer. When you reset the FP-20xx, the
following actions occur:
• The IP address, subnet mask, DNS address, gateway, and Time Server IP are
set to
0.0.0.0.
• The normal I/O services are suspended until the FP-20xx is reconfigured,
but I/O module configuration is preserved. Send a Reset command in
FieldPoint Explorer to reset an individual I/O module.
• The device appears as
Unconfigured in Remote System Explorer.
• The system is unlocked, and any password protection is removed for
configuration settings, data points, and LabVIEW remote access.
• Resetting does not affect power-up defaults, watchdog settings, or VIs.
Follow these instructions
to
reset the unit:
1. Power down the FP-20xx.
2. Move the RESET DIP switch on the front of the module to the ON position,
as shown in the following figure.
3. Power up the FP-20xx and wait for the red STATUS LED to start flashing.
When it flashes, the FP-20xx is in reset mode.
4. Move the RESET switch back to the OFF position.
5. Power down the FP-20xx and power it up again.
