5.7.4 Copying the Configuration onto a Reader (Config-Cloning)
In order to copy the configurations and access control data stored in a USB flash drive to a reader, the
reader must be switched off before connecting the USB flash drive. After switching on the reader, the reader
will search for a USB flash drive during the boot process and copy the configuration and access control data
from the root directory to its memory.
It must be ensured that no configuration page (CFG page) is password protected in the reader. If
configuration pages are password protected, the configuration file will not be copied onto the reader. This
also applies if individual configuration parameters contain values out of the permissible range.
After successful completion of the USB actions the red status LED will go out and the green status LED will
start flashing again. After the red status LED went out the USB flash drive can be disconnected. In case of
an error the red status LED will start flashing until the USB flash drive is removed.
NOTE:
Connecting a USB flash drive during a running operation of the reader may overwrite an existing
configuration file stored on the USB memory stick (See chapter 5.7.4 Copying the Configuration onto
a Reader (Config-Cloning) on page 23.).
