Overview
The process of factory defaulting an IC2/IC4 controller will erase the network settings, configuration and data off the controllers. Only perform this procedure as a last resort where you cannot login to the controller. Factory defaulting will return the controller to its base/shipped state. Proceed to next section when you are ready
Prerequisite
Before initiating the factory default, make to to have the following available:
- If the IC2 is connected to the software via INDIRECT dialect, make sure to have the product.license and sdk license files. Contact IMRON Support to obtain the license files
- Make sure the IC2 is plugged into the network that has a DHCP Server where it can automatically obtain and IP address. Contact your IT admin for more information
- Latest firmware files
Procedures
- On the controller, locate the green 'Factory Default' button.
- Power off the controller. Make sure there are no LED lights on the controller
- Press and hold down the Factory Default button. Keep it pressed down
- With the Factory Default button pressed down, Power ON the controller board,
- Located the 9 LED indicator in the corner of the board... When ONLY the RDR1 and RDR2 LED lights appear, you can release the Factory Default button
- Wait about 1-2 minutes and the controller should now be factory defaulted
- If it's plugged into the network and it was able to obtain an IP address, you can open a command prompt and ping the controller by its hostname, ie: ping ic2-xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last 6 of the MAC address)
Post Factory Default
After the factory default, open a web browser and login to the Controller web configuration page by eithe its hostname or IP address. Note: if the controller cannot obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, it will default to IP 192.168.0.2 (subnet: 255.255.255.0).
