13.5 Factory settings
You can reset the configuration of the reader to the factory settings at any time. To reset to
the factory settings, you have the following options available:
● using the WBM
● using the XML interface
● manually via the 24 V DC interface
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 can find information on assigning an IP address in the section "Assign the IP address /
device name (Page 26)".
Restoring the factory settings via 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 "Reset" area, click on the "Reset" button.
Result: The reader is reset to the original factory settings. The restore process is indicated in
the information bar.
Note that if you reset to factory settings, the RF650R reader is assigned the factory default
IP address "192.168.0.254". In the factory settings, the RF615R, 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 the reset, 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.
