Factory reset with cable
The reader can be reset with the USB debug cable as follows:
- Keep the black and brown stripped IO wires connected while powering up the reader
- During boot, Power and Error LEDs will light up, then Link and RF and finally Ready and Data.
- Wait until Ready and Data LEDs light up. Then release the tripped cables. If released after more than 3 seconds, the reader does a regular boot.
M12-X ETHERNET CONNECTOR, FEMALE
The Brady IRX200 includes an Ethernet connector. The reader supports 10/100/1000Mbps speed classes.
