Restoring Parameters Follow these steps:
1. Verify whether parameters were set to default during the upgrade procedure, by checking their

Note a) Reader firmware ignores leading zeros for integers.
b) If the Reader was already configured on the site, you have to restore all application parameters
queried during the Saving Parameters step, or restart the configuration process as described in
Chapter 5, Configuration and Operation.
3. Check the values of the new parameters, if any, that were introduced by this software version.
