The only thing I can think of is that the RESET does clear any channel status that would cause a conflict. Since IPL Text is at the other end of a channel.. maybe that is the issue.
After shutting down a system, we always performed a RESET. Got burned a few times with channels that caused issues on other systems without the RESET.
