TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience a problem with Impinj R700 RAIN RFID Reader, this brief section presents a few
suggestions to correct the issue.
Returning to the 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 default configuration.
Then try your Reader again.
! Important: Configuration Default 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 below.
There are two ways to return Impinj R700 RAIN RFID Reader to its defaults:
1. Issue an RShell command.
2. Press the Default Restore button on the device.
To Use RShell to Return the Reader to Its Default Configuration and Leave 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 default configuration, and CAP
applications are intact.
To Use the Default Restore Button on the Reader to Restore to Its Default Configuration
1. Use an object with a sharp tip, such as a probe or paper clip, to press and hold the Default
Restore button on the back of the Reader while the Reader is powered on.
2. Continue holding the Default Restore button for 3 seconds after the Power LED light turns off,
but not longer than 10 seconds.
3. Release the Default Restore button when the LED blinks red once. The Reader will boot up
normally with the default configuration.
