CQ-12T and CQ-18T Factory Reset

1. Start with the power off.
2. Hold ‘HOME’ and Soft Key ‘1’ whilst powering on the unit.
3. Continue to hold until the unit has fully booted.

ⓘ A Factory reset will clear all stored data including Scenes and Libraries and reset all preferences and network settings to their default values. Before carrying out a factory reset, it is best practice to store a Show which can be recalled again later if needed.

CQ-20B Factory and Network Only Resets

1. Power on the unit and allow to boot.
2. If the network connection has already been set up and the system boots normally, the ‘CM’ LED will illuminate GREEN ● by default, or behave as it has been set to in the system preferences.
   If the ‘CM’ LED flashes BLUE ● or YELLOW ● then the CQ has already been reset and a network reset is not needed.
3. Use a small, pointed but not sharp object (e.g. a pencil) to press and hold the ‘RESET’ button, the ‘CM’ LED will illuminate WHITE ●, hold the button down for 2 seconds and release to access the reset menu.
4. Press the button momentarily (for less than 2 seconds) to cycle through 3 reset options:
   1. ‘CM’ LED lights RED ● = Factory reset
      All mixer parameters will be set to default values.
      All data stored on the CQ (including scenes and libraries) will be deleted.
      Wi-Fi and Ethernet network settings will be set to default values and method of connection must be re-selected.
   2. ‘CM’ LED lights BLUE ● = Wi-Fi reset
      Wi-Fi settings set to default values and WiFi connection is active.
   3. ‘CM’ LED lights YELLOW ● = Ethernet reset
      Ethernet settings set to default values and Ethernet connection is active.
5. With the ‘CM’ LED showing the colour matching the reset to be performed, press and hold the ‘RESET’ button for 2 seconds to action the reset.

ⓘ To exit the reset menu, do not interact with the ‘RESET’ button for 10 seconds.

Default Network Settings

On first boot or after a reset, network defaults are as follows:

Enabled Network

• CQ-12T – Ethernet
• CQ-18T – Ethernet
• CQ-20B – WiFi Access Point

Wi-Fi settings (CQ-18T, CQ-20B)

• Security is set to ‘OPEN’ (no password is required to connect a device).
• Password is blank and must be set.
• Frequency is ‘2.4GHz’.

Ethernet settings

• IP Mode is ‘Automatic’
• The unit will be assigned an IP address by a DHCP server (e.g. a connected router), devices on the same network and in the same network range running CQ-MixPad can then connect to the unit.
• If no address is provided, the CQ will automatically assign itself a local address. This allows for a direct connection to a computer using a network cable.
