Restoring a Configuration
The restore feature restores a backed-up configuration file to enable quick configuration parameter
recovery. This section describes how to restore the backup file on the reader from which it was backed
up. For restoring a reader’s backup to another reader, see Restoring Backup Across Readers.
Config.xml contains reader-specific configuration parameters such as IP address and
port number. To push the same configuration file to multiple readers, make multiple copies of the
configuration file and change these reader-specific parameters for each reader in each
configuration file using text editing software such as Notepad, before pushing each configuration
file to the appropriate reader.
To restore backup on the reader from which it was taken and replace non-functional readers with new
ones:
1. Copy the backup XML file from the backup folder to a temporary folder on the host PC, and rename
the file Config.xml.
2. Load the backup XML file onto an FTP server. If the network connected to the reader has an FTP
server, upload the XML file to this server. Consult the administrator for assistance with uploading
files onto the FTP server.
3. Connect to the reader using the Web-based Administrator Console. Click Maintenance from the
main menu, then Version.
