7 Troubleshooting
To facilitate troubleshooting, consider the following:
Make sure that the reader has correct supply voltage and sufficient current. Check the small green
LED on the controller board inside the reader. When the LED is flashing (once per second) the
reader is powered and the firmware is running. If the LED is on, but not flashing, the reader is
powered but the firmware is not running. If the LED is off, the reader is not powered.
If using Ethernet communication, make sure that the network connection is ok. There are small
LEDs on or close to the RJ45 socket, only visible when the lid of the reader is open. A yellow light
indicates ‘Link’ and a flashing yellow light indicates ‘Activity’.
If the IP address has been forgotten or firmware settings have been corrupted the reader can be
restored to factory default settings as described in section 4.5.
Make sure that working and correctly formatted EPC Gen 2 tags are being used.
