Matrix: what are the different types of pin resets available on the Eclipse CPU card

Question : I want to know all the ‘pin reset’ combinations for the Eclipse.
There are various resets that can be made from the buttons on the front of the Eclipse CPU card Please refer to the matrix manual for full details Note: that the red reset , black reset (full -clear frame data) can also be sent via the ECS / EHX software .also the matrix can be set to a temporary DHCP mode via the ECS / EHX software 

Answer:
RESET (A) = EHX-Apply map with reset (Red reset) . Pressing the RESET button causes the CPU card to stop its current activity and to restart. Any key presses or audio routes that were active before the reset will return active.The same configuration that was active before the system was reset will be active after the system was reset. During the reset, configuration information reloads to the card’s operational memory from its non-volatile memory and the card starts running again from the beginning. The reset button is slightly recessed from the front panel to prevent it from being accidentally pressed. A tool such as a bent paper clip / tweaker is needed to press this button. 

FULL RESET (G) + RESET (A) = EHX-Apply map with reset and clear frame data (Black reset). When a full reset is performed,all cards in the matrix reset regardless of any system preferences in the program software and non-volatile memory are cleared.

To perform a full reset:

  1. Press and HOLD the card’s lower FULL RESET button (the Full reset button).  

  2. Press and release the pin RESET button and wait until the OK LED starts to flash. Then release FULL RESET button

The same configuration that was active before the system was reset will be active after reset. Any key presses or audio routes that were active before the reset will be de-active after the reset. When the cards and connected audio devices reset, they momentarily stop their current activity and restart. During this process configuration information is downloaded to the cards and audio devices from the CPU card’s non-volatile RAM.  

Note: Under normal operating conditions it is not necessary to perform a full reset. Technical personnel might perform a full reset if they believe that the CPU card is operating incorrectly as a result of corruption of the microprocessor’s internal data or instruction sequence. 

FULL RESET (G) + ENG (F) & RESET (A) = Reset the matrix to the factory default. The matrix IP address will default to DHCP ( example 169.254.0.100)

Note:The default IP address is a link local IP address. This will allow any PC in DHCP mode to connect directly to the matrix using an Ethernet cable, and communicates with the rack. When the rack's IP configuration is defaulted back to the above link local address it also defaults to DHCP enabled. 

To perform a factory default reset

  1. If the matrix is fitted with two CPU cards, in a master and slave relationship. Remove the slave CPU card.

  2. On the active card : Press and HOLD both the ENG and FULL RESET front panel buttons simultaneously (bottom of card) on the master CPU card.

  3. Press and release the pin RESET button and wait until the OK LED starts to flash. Then release both ENG and FULL RESET buttons 

CONFIG (E) + ENG (F) & RESET (A) To activate the embedded default configuration:

  1. On the front of the CPU card, press and HOLD the CONFIG and the ENG buttons.

  2. Press and release the pin RESET button and wait until the OK LED starts to flash.

  3. Continue holding the CONFIG, ENG buttons until the CPU card’s dot matrix display displays 0. It may take 1 - 2 seconds before 0 is displayed.

The embedded default configuration has now been activated. To deactivate the embedded configuration, perform a CPU card reset. The configuration (1, 2, 3 or 4) that was previously active on the CPU card replaces the embedded configuration as the active configuration.

ENG (G) = Display System status

If the ENG button only on the master CPU is pressed the following system information will be displayed on the LED dot matrix:

Eclipse release. For example, V7.0 at 7.0.

Matrix IP address. IP address of the LAN 1 port, for example 192.168.42.150.

Note: If this address was not statically allocated, but instead was allocated via DHCP server this will be pre-pended by DHCP ENABLED.

System number. This is only output if the rack is part of a linked set. It is the system number of the node within the linked set (for example, SYSTEM 3).

Software version number. Version number of the config card software (for example, RACK 1.0.2.1)

Hardware serial number. For example, SERIAL 2251, in the case where the HW serial number is 2251.




EHX > Apply map with reset == RESET (A)


EHX > Apply map with reset and clear frame data == RESET (A) + FULL RESET (G)
