    Continue to keep the button pressed while you plug the power cable back in.

    The terminal emits a short series of beeps (from one beep to five beeps) with pauses between each series. Each series represents an action you can take. After the series of five beeps, it starts over with one beep again.

  4. Release the button during the pause after:

    • 1-beep if you want to restore the default configuration settings

    • 2-beeps if you want to perform an emergency firmware update

    • 3-beeps if you want to perform a normal firmware update

    • 4-beeps if you want to do an emergency reload – reset the configuration to default and start the emergency update

    • 5-beeps if you want to set the network configuration to use a DHCP server

    After the action is selected, it is processed, and then the terminal reboots.

    The card reader protocol is not reset when restoring the configuration settings to default.

    Terminal Ultralight and Network Card Reader are shipped with the configuration reset to default.

  5. Try to authenticate on the terminal.

    If you are able to authenticate, you have successfully performed one of the selected procedures.

If the Terminal UltraLight or Network Card Reader uses the current firmware version, it is not necessary to unplug the terminal power cable as described in step 2. Just follow the instructions described in step 3, but hold the button for more than five seconds. This functionality works during the terminal initialization or idle state when a user card or PIN is expected. It will not work when the user session is in progress on Terminal UltraLight.
