Bulk Erase Controller Memory

Before setting up a Mercury intelligent controller, a bulk erase should be performed to remove all existing configuration.

The controller will usually be set to DHCP using the S1 dip switch. This will configure the controller to obtain an IP address from the local DHCP network. The following steps explain how to perform the bulk erase and then to set the controller to a normal operating mode (and a DHCP configuration).

1. Power-down the MSC controller.

2. Set the DIP switches S1 and 2 to the ON position.
   
   
   
   

3. Power-up the controller.

4. LEDs 1,2,3 and 4 will start flashing alternately at a rate of 0.5 seconds.

5. Wait for these 4 LEDs to stop flashing.

6. Within 10 seconds of these LEDs no longer flashing, set switches 1 and 2 into the off position. All 4 switches should then be in the off position.
   
   
   
   

7. The controller memory will now be erased. Full memory erase takes up to 60 seconds.

8. Wait at least 2 minutes for the controller to obtain a DHCP address from the DHCP network.
