• After it reboots - select the applications's  RFIDReader which is blue and select the Connect button. Once the message "Please wait" disappears, pull the trigger and the barcodes value will be shown in list.
• Close AssetCloud application.
• Open AssetCloud and login by entering the URL and login credentials.
• Select Settings and select RFID Rule 'DR5 RFID Rule'.
• Go to any transaction page like Check Out and put cursor in Asset Tag field. Tap on the white scanner icon and it will correctly change to yellow.
