    Looking for a quick and easy way for decommissioning a project (approx. 80 devise) back to their original factory defaults.
    All output channels unused.
    All input blocks back to unused
    All Address's back to 255.
    Was thing along the lines of a script that can run with c-gate to accomplish this but not to sure how.
    Or the just doing it the long way via Toolkit.

    We can then put the devices into the colleges maintenance stock for the remaining systems on the campus.
    Any help would be appreciated as we need to start soon because the build is being demolished and we wont to reused the kit.

    Has there been any solutions passed on this, we have just closed a library and reset all devices back to defaults, very long process doing each device one at a time using toolkit. So would be useful if we have to do it again.

    Hi sjfp and carlg, there is a Global Programming Wizard option in C-Bus Toolkit called "Unit Reset".

    So you could:

    1) Transfer all network units to the database
    2) Select the "Global Programming" button
    3) Select the "Unit Reset" wizard
    4) Confirm that all the units are selected, check the confirmation checkbox, and click OK. All the database units will be reset to factory defaults.
    5) Transfer all database units programming back to the network.

    Let me know how this goes for you.

    Yes. Assuming you still have the project open in C-Bus Toolkit, you can open a C-Gate command window and type the following.

    Replace MYPROJ with your project name, and "254" with your network number.

    Code:
    PROJECT USE MYPROJ
SET 254/p/* address 255
    After this it's a good idea to close C-Bus Toolkit, as rescanning the network will just prompt you to unravel it again.
