Locking the Front Panel (Executive Mode)
The front panel security lockout limits the operation of the switcher from the front panel.
When the switcher is locked, all of the front panel functions are disabled except for the
View-Only mode functions and deselecting the front panel Lock mode (see Viewing the
Configuration on page 31). Other than in View-Only mode, if the user pushes a front panel
button when the switcher is locked, the View and Preset buttons flash twice and return to
their previous state.
To toggle the lock on and off, press and hold the Enter button and the Esc button for
approximately two seconds (see figure 23).

Performing a System Reset from the Front Panel
The front panel reset is identical to issuing the

}
SIS command (see page 64). A
system reset clears all ties and presets and resets all I/O grouping.
NOTES:
• You must apply power from an unpowered state. Applying the redundant power
with primary power already applied does not reset the switcher.
• System reset does not reset the Internet protocol (IP) settings or replace
user‑installed firmware.
Reset the switcher to the factory default settings by pressing and holding the View button
and Esc button simultaneously while you apply AC power to the switcher (see figure 24).

Power
The switcher flashes the

return to either unlit or to background
illumination.

NOTE: If background illumination was turned on before the reset, the I/O and control
buttons are unlit after the reset. But, when you cycle power, background illumination
returns to as selected.
