Reconfig Button - Avid Technology Pro Tools MTRX Studio Installation Manual

Reconfig Button

The Reconfig button on the back of MTRX Studio should not be used during normal installation. It is in-
tended only as for recovery in case something goes wrong during programming of IP addresses or a soft-
ware upgrade (such as an unintended power loss). It lets you start MTRX Studio in various basic modes so
it can be restored without having to be returned to the factory.
The Reconfig button is accessed through a hole in the rear panel using a pen or a similar pointed item (such
as a paper clip). A green LED is visible through the hole. When the Reconfig button is activated, the LED
lights to indicate the two Recovery modes for MTRX Studio: last used IP Address and DHCP.
Recovery Mode
Use Recovery mode if the software in the MTRX Studio is not operative. In Recovery mode only basic
boot software is operative in the unit, and new software can be downloaded using DADman software.
To enter Recovery mode using the last used IP address settings:
Power off MTRX Studio.

Press the Reconfig button using a pen or a similar (such as a paper clip) and power the unit on. Hold

while the unit is powering up.
The green LED turns on and MTRX Studio enters Recovery mode. The IP address settings of the unit are
the last setting used in the unit.
To switch Recovery mode to use DHCP:
While the unit is in Recovery mode and the green LED is on, briefly press the Reconfig button again.

The green LED turns off, but the MTRX Studio remains in Recovery mode and the IP address settings of
the unit is set to DHCP. In case there is no DHCP server on the network, the MTRX Studio defaults to IP
address 10.0.7.20 / 255.255.0.0 after approximately 2 minutes.
