These alternative methods are described below.
Note
IP address is required
Note that to reset a reader, you always require the IP address. If the IP address of a reader
is not known, you can assign the reader a new IP address using the Primary Setup Tool.
You will find information on assigning an IP address section "Assign the IP address / device
name (Page 29)".
Restoring factory settings using the WBM
Follow the steps below to reset all settings to the factory settings using the WBM:
1. Start your Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the reader in the address field of your browser.
3. If not logged in, log in to the WBM.
Note: If you have forgotten the administrator password, you need to reset the reader via
the XML interface.
4. Click on the "System" menu item.
5. In the "Restore" area, click the "Restore" button.
Result: The reader is reset to the original factory settings. The restore process is indicated in
the information bar.
Note that if you restore to factory settings the RF650R reader is assigned the factory default
IP address "192.168.0.254". In the factory settings, the RF680R and RF685R readers are
set to DHCP. Because the IP address is discarded, it is possible that the connection
between the WBM and browser is lost. You can only recognize when the restore process is
completed based on the "R/S" LED. After restoring, the reader is restarted. The reader is
ready for operation when the "R/S" LED is lit/flashes green.
After restarting the reader, you may need to assign a new IP address or a new device name
to the reader.
Restoring the factory settings via the XML interface
Via the XML interface, you can use the command "resetReader" to reset all settings to the
factory settings.
