Factory settings
You can restore the configuration of the reader to the factory settings at any time. To reset to
the factory settings, you have the following options available:

These alternative methods are described below.
8.4.1
Restoring the factory settings via WBM
Requirement
The reader is connected to the PC via Industrial Ethernet or PROFINET.
Procedure
Proceed as follows 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.
4.
Open 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 restoring the factory settings also resets the IP address of the reader. With the
factory settings, the IP address is obtained via a DHCP server. You can only recognize when
the reset is finished 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.
