Fig. 4.4.1: rcdiscover-gui tool for finding connected rc_visard devices
After successful discovery, a double click on the device row opens the Web GUI (Section 4.5) of the device in the
operating system’s default web browser. Mozilla Firefox is recommended as web browser.
4.4.1 Resetting configuration
A misconfigured device can be reset by using the Reset rc_visard button in the discovery tool. The reset mech-
anism is only available for two minutes after device startup. Thus, the rc_visard may require rebooting before
being able to reset the device.

If the discovery tool still successfully detects the the misconfigured rc_visard, then the latter can be selected from
the rc-visard drop-down menu. Otherwise, the rc_visard’s MAC address, which is printed on the device label, can
be entered manually into the designated fields.
One of four options can be chosen after entering the MAC address:
• Reset Parameters: Reset all rc_visard parameters, such as frame rate, that are configurable via Web GUI
(Section 4.5).
• Reset Network: Reset network settings and user-defined name.
• Reset All: Reset the rc_visard parameters as well as network settings and user-defined name.
• Switch Partitions: Allows a rollback to be performed as described in Restoring the previous firmware ver-
sion (Section 9.4).
A white status LED followed by a device reboot indicates a successful reset. If no reaction is noticeable, the two
minutes time slot may have elapsed, requiring another reboot.
Note: The reset mechanism is only available for the first two minutes after startup.
