Backing Up the Configuration
The reader supports the following backup configuration functions:
• Rolling back maintenance errors and restoring the reader to a particular date and time.
• Pushing reader-specific changes made to the config.xml file to multiple readers, simplifying multi-reader
management.
• General configuration backup that can be restored when required, such as hardware replacement.
To back up the reader's configuration:
1. Open the browser and enter the URL http://[Reader IP address]/Config.xml.
For example, if the reader’s IP address is 123.123.123.123, enter:
http://123.123.123.123/Config.xml
An XML file similar to the following appears, depicting the current reader
configuration.

2. Save the XML file with a naming / date convention that facilitates recognizing the reader and the
date of the backup. Most browsers allow saving XML files to the hard disk. In Internet Explorer,
select File - Save As…
3. Click Save and use Windows Explorer to verify that the file is saved correctly.
