Follow the instructions below to reset a MaxColor device on Bx.x.x firmware (B3.5.2 and up) to Factory Defaults

Factory Default Via WebUI

1. Login to the webUI. There are a few ways to find the current IP address of an unknown device:
   • For a Receiver, connect the HDMI to a display and look in the bottom-right corner of the diagnostic screen for the RX.
   • For a Transmitter, set it to watch a Receiver then disconnect the HDMI cable from the Transmitter. The IP of the Transmitter will show up in the bottom-right corner of the diagnostic screen listed as TX.
   • Use Bonjour Browser to discover the IP address
2. Navigate to Device tab and the Device Commands card

   

3. Click on Full Reset to erase all settings, including IP settings
   • To retain the IP settings but reset all others, select Retain IP instead
4. Type 'yes' in the popup confirmation box to confirm
5. The unit will reboot and be accessible at default settings

Factory Default Via Telnet

1. Open a telnet session to the IP address of the device (port 23). There are a few ways to find the current IP address of an unknown device:
   • For a Receiver, connect the HDMI to a display and look in the bottom-right corner of the diagnostic screen for the RX.
   • For a Transmitter, set it to watch a Receiver then disconnect the HDMI cable from the Transmitter. The IP of the Transmitter will show up in the bottom-right corner of the diagnostic screen listed as TX.
