Instructions

1. Power off the reader

2. Connect the debug serial port on the reader to your computer

3. Download the package and extract the zip file under the dist folder

4. Edit the config.ini file and enter your serial port information. For Windows it would be COM{port number}. For Mac it would be the device under /dev/tty.usbserial-{deviceId}

   [Serial]
   Port = COM6
   

5. The program can also set the IP address of the reader after resetting the system. For doing that, you will need to update the IP information in config.ini:

   [Network]
   DefaultIP = 192.168.1.100
   DefaultMask = 255.255.255.0
   DefaultGateway = 192.168.1.1
   

   After that, please also connect your computer to the reader via the same network being configure. For the example above, the IP address of the network interface connected to the reader should be in the same network 192.168.1.XXX

   If network information is not entered in config.ini, IP address will not be set after factory default and it will be stay in the default value 192.168.25.160.

6. Make sure the COM port mentioned in step 3 is not occupied by other applications.

7. Run the file CS463FactoryDefault.exe in the folder or open up a command prompt window, change directory to the *dist" folder and run from there.

8. Follow the instructions of powering down and powering up the reader.
