Reset the Module to the Original Factory Settings
If you are using a 1756-CN2/B, 1756-CN2R/B, or 1756-CN2RXT
communication module, you can reset the module to its original settings and
clear all keeper information.
To reset a module to its factory settings, complete these steps.
1. Remove power from the chassis.
2. Remove the module from the chassis.
3. Reset the switches to 00.
WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane
power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in
hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on
both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create
electrical resistance that can affect module operation.
Removing power from the chassis before removing the module is
only necessary if the module is in a Class I, Division 2 hazardous
location.
Do not use the 00 switch setting during normal module operation.
