Restoring the factory settings manually
Requirement
The reader has been disconnected from the power supply.
Proceed as follows to restore all settings to factory defaults using the 24 V DC interface:
1. Establish a 24 V DC cable with open cable ends by stripping the cable ends/wire ends.
2. Connect the wire ends of the pins 2 (Tx-) and 6 (Rx-) as well as the pins 4 (Tx+) and 5
(Rx+) of the 24 V DC interface.

3. Connect the reader to the power supply.
4. Wait until all LEDs flash for a few seconds and then light up permanently again.
5. Remove the jumpers.
Result: The reader is reset to the original factory settings.
Note that if you reset to factory settings, the RF650R reader is assigned the factory default
IP address "192.168.0.254". In the factory settings, the RF615R, RF680R and RF685R
readers are set to DHCP. You can recognize when the restore process is completed 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.
