Hardware Requirements
• TCP/IP network equipment, as required to connect the reader to a PC, Mac, or other
network terminal. If you plan to use PoE, you must have either a power injector or a
network switch that supports PoE.
• Impinj-approved UHF RFID antenna(s), including associating RF cable with RP-TNC
male connector interface
• A computer running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Linux PC, which has:
• an available RS-232 serial port (required only if host system does not support
DHCP)
• Standard, grounded DB9 serial cable (required only if your system does not sup-
port IP provisioning). The Cisco Management Cable (RJ-45 to DB9) is recom-
mended.
• An Ethernet port
• Standard Ethernet cable(s)
Power Requirements
As noted earlier, there are two options for powering your Speedway/R reader: Power-
Over-Ethernet (PoE) or an external power supply. PoE offers the most efficient power
consumption and allows up to +30 dBm. An external power supply allows up to +32.5
dBm.
If using a power supply module, you must use a module with +24 VDC output that has the
following part number: IPJ-A2001-000. Use an AC power cord (for North America) that
has the following part number: IPJ-A2051-USA. You can order this power supply and
power cord from Impinj.
Supported Operating Environments
This section describes the environments in which you can access the Speedway/R Rshell
console (for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the reader). The tools you use to
access the Rshell console depend on how you connect your PC to the reader: serial con-
nection (RS-232) or Ethernet connection (SSH/Telnet). On PCs running Microsoft Win-
dows, you can now use the same tool—Putty—for both types of connections.
