5. Select Microsoft Corporation from the manufacturer list.
6. Under Network Adapter, select Remote NDIS Compatible Device, and click Next.
After installation, the PC recognizes the reader as an RNDIS device. The PC obtains the IP address
169.254.10.102, and the reader is reachable at the IP address 169.254.10.1.
Sample Implementation
This implementation assumes that only one FX7500 or FX9600 reader is connected to a host PC via USB.
This feature does not function with multiple readers connected to the host. Zebra recommends disabling
any other network interface on the PC.
Use an application that uses RFID3 APIs such as Power Session, or use an LLRP application to connect to
the reader to read tags.
1. The primary RFID server connects to the FX7500 or FX9600 via the Ethernet interface.
2. The host PC connects to the FX7500 or FX9600 via the USB port. An application on the host PC
monitors communication between the primary RFID server and reader.
3. When the application on the host PC detects a communication failure between the primary RFID server
and the reader, it connects to and controls the reader using the USB virtual interface.
4. The FX7500 and FX9600 listens on the USB virtual interface on a fixed port (49152) as well as on the
standard LLRP port (5084). To enable this, select the
Allow LLRP Connection Override check box in
Configure LLRP Settings console window.
