Power Connector The power connector is a 2.1mm power jack. (Power supply could be ordered from Connect One, Please refer to the ordering instruction) 8. Reset Button functionality The reset button is connected to the Msel signal in the iChip. Pressing the Reset button have several functionalities which are being activated upon pressing duration and power state. Please refer to Connect One's AT+i manual for further explanation of the Msel signal. 1) During power up A) Press less than 2 seconds - iChipNet Box goes to auto baud rate and auto host interface. B) Press more than 4 seconds - iChipNet Box goes to Boot-Rom. In this case user can program F/W by using the iChipConfig software. (iChipConfig could be downloaded from Connect One website) 2) During normal operation A) Press more than 5 second and less than 30 seconds - iChipNet Box goes to rescues mode. In Rescue mode, iChip performs the following operations: a. If in SerialNET mode -- iChipNet Box exits SerialNET mode (SNMD is permanently changed to 0) b. If serial baud rate (in BDRF or BDRD) is set to a fixed value -- iChipNet Box forces auto baud rate detection. BDRF/BDRD retain their values and will be used again upon the next power-up 13 iChipNet-Box -Datasheet c. If Always Online mode is defined (TUP=2), or Automatic Router Start is enabled (ARS=1) -- iChipNet Box bypasses this mode, which means that the iChipNet Box does not attempt to go online until the next software or hardware reset d. If LAN-to-WiFi Bridge mode is enabled and the BRM parameter contains a non-zero value -- iChipNet Box disables Bridge mode and permanently assigns BRM=0. e. If the Host Interface parameter (HIF) is set to a fixed interface, it is forced to auto host interface detection mode (HIF=0) B) Press more than 30 seconds - iChipNet Box re-install parameter profile. 9.
