Save or Discard Changes (or Revert to Backup)
Whenever you add or make modifications to your Reader configuration using the Reader Administrator
Console, the changes are not immediately applied to the underlying physical Reader Network of hardware
components and networked connections. You must click Commit to save the changes and notify the
Reader to update its configuration file, which updates your physical Reader configuration. While a
successful update may take up to a minute to complete, your system will continue to operate with only a
brief one- or two-second period where no polling is taking place.
1. Click the Commit/Revert link on the left-hand side of any Reader Administrator Console page. The
Configuration Commit/Revert page displays.
2. Click Commit to save a new configuration, and apply changes to the Reader’s configuration file.
3. Click Discard ONLY if you decide you DO NOT want to save changes to the Reader’s configuration
file that you’ve made to the Reader configuration during this session.
4. Click Revert ONLY if you’ve saved a backup configuration, and you want to discard your current
changes AND revert your physical Reader configuration to the backup configuration.
