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.
Reset
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.
