2.8.2 Resetting the EF-Series Unit
If you are experiencing problems with the EF-Series unit that appear to be software related, try resetting
the EF-Series unit. As described in the following paragraphs, there are three ways to reset the unit:
♦ Warm Start.
♦ Cold Start.
♦ Jumper Reset.
For example, if security was enabled on both communication ports of the EF-Series unit, the settings
were saved to permanent memory, and then the ID and/or Passwords were lost, communications with
the EF-Series unit will be locked out on both ports until a Jumper Reset is performed; then the host
port could be used, since its security is disabled by default.
If none of these methods seem to help, the EF-Series unit may need to be returned to the factory for
repair. Contact your Fisher Representative.

configuration of any parameters. Refer to Figure 2-9.
