Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

If you experience a problem with Speedway Revolution, this brief chapter

presents a few suggestions to correct the issue.

Returning to the Factory Default Configuration

If you are experiencing a problem with the reader and are having difficulty

pinpointing the cause, it is useful to return the reader to a known state. We

recommend resetting to the factory default configuration. Then try your reader

again.

! Important: Factory Default Configuration Restore returns the reader

configuration to its default state. It leaves any custom applications installed in

the CAP intact. To restore the reader to its default state and remove any CAP

contents, use Factory Default Restore. See the Warning on page 28.

There are two ways to return Speedway Revolution to its factory default

configuration: issuing an Rshell command or pushing the Factory Default Reset

(FDR) button on the device.

To use Rshell to return the reader to its factory default configuration

and leaving CAP intact:

1. At the Rshell prompt, enter the following command:

config image default

When the command completes successfully, the reader automatically

reboots and returns to the login prompt.

2. Log in to the reader. The reader is now running with the factory default

configuration. CAP applications are intact.

To use the FDR button on the reader to restore to its factory default

configuration:

1. Using an object with a sharp tip, a paper clip or probe, press and hold the

FDR button on the back while the reader power is on.

2. Continue holding the FDR button. Wait for 3 seconds after the Power LED

turns off.

3. Release the FDR button when the LED blinks red once. The reader will

boot up normally in the factory default configuration.

Warning: Pressing the FDR button for longer than 3 seconds can cause a factory

default restore to occur. The factory default restore removes the reader’s custom

Factory Default

Restore button

Insert and hold sharp point here for

3 seconds. Release before 10

seconds.
