Device flash test and reset
Device flash test
If several readers are connected to the network/PC, it is possible to make the LK LEDs of the
device selected in the output window flash. Using the device flash test, you can identify the
required reader quickly and simply.
Follow the steps below to identify the relevant reader using the flash test:
1. In the menu bar, select the menu command "Network > Browse".
2. Select the required module from the device list.
3. In the menu bar, select the menu command "Module > Flash".
4. Click on the "Start" button.
Reaction: The LK LED flashes at a frequency of 1 Hz (1 s) on the selected reader.
5. Click the "Stop" button to stop the flashing.
You can also use the Primary Setup Tool to reset the communication parameters (SNMP, IP
address) of the reader. To do so, select the reader and the menu command "Module >
Reset".
Note that, for safety reasons, a reset cannot be performed in processing mode (RUN). This
ensures that ongoing operation is not interrupted.
