Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide Chapter 1: Introduction Welcome to the Speedway/Revolution Installation and Operations Guide. About This Guide This guide provides detailed instructions on installing, connecting, configuring, operating, upgrading, and troubleshooting Speedway/Revolution. To minimize and streamline the information in this guide, its contents focus on the installation and operations of a single reader.
Chapter 1: Introduction Impinj Support Information See the Impinj Support Web page (support.impinj.com) for information on obtaining technical assistance. See “Chapter 5: Troubleshooting” on page 17 for guidelines on how to capture data for analysis by Impinj technical support personnel. Introduction to Speedway®/Revolution Speedway®/Revolution (or Speedway/R) is a stationary, small form factor, UHF Gen 2 RFID tag reader that provides network connectivity between tag data and enterprise system software.
Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide 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.
Chapter 1: Introduction Supported Communication Protocol For client control of the reader, Speedway/R supports the EPCglobal Low Level Reader Protocol (LLRP) v1.0.1. LLRP is an EPCglobal standard interface that allows communication with the reader and with EPCglobal Generation 2 (Gen 2) RFID tags. Antenna Requirements Depending on the reader model you are installing, Speedway/R is equipped with two (R220) or four (R420) monostatic antenna ports (independent, bidirectional, and full duplex TX/RX).
Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide Chapter 2: Installing and Connecting Speedway/Revolution This chapter provides details about the Speedway/R I/O ports and status LEDs and explains the detailed procedures for installing the reader and connecting it to your network. Speedway/R I/O Ports and Status LEDs The following graphic illustrates the various I/O ports located on the Speedway/R reader.
Chapter 2: Installing and Connecting Speedway/Revolution The following table describes the LED behavior for various reader states: Table 2: Reader Operations and Associated Status LED Behavior Reader Operation Startup (power on), normal completion Startup (reset), normal completion Startup (failure) Detection of antenna activity Copyright © 2009, Impinj, Inc.
Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide Overview of Installation and Connection Process Listed below are the primary steps to follow to install and connect Speedway/R: 1. Position the reader appropriately for your environment. This may or may not involve mounting the reader. 2. Connect the antenna(s) to the appropriate ports on the reader. 3. Connect the reader to the network. 4. Connect power to the reader. 5.
Chapter 2: Installing and Connecting Speedway/Revolution Step 2: Connect the Antenna(s) to the Speedway/R Reader Depending on the Speedway/R model you are installing, the reader has either two antenna ports (Speedway R220) or four antenna ports (Speedway R420). Each port is independent, bidirectional, and full duplex TX/RX (monostatic). It is recommended that you connect the antenna(s) before powering on the reader. Warning: You must use Impinj-approved antennas with Speedway/R.
Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide The details of completing each connection option are discussed below. Before proceeding, however, take note of the reader’s factory default network settings: Table 3: Default Network Settings Setting Description hostname Speedway-XX-XX-XX where XX-XX-XX is the last three bytes of the reader’s MAC address (which is printed on the version label attached to the reader enclosure) DHCP Enabled. The reader also reports its hostname to the DHCP server.
Chapter 2: Installing and Connecting Speedway/Revolution To connect Speedway/R to your PC over a serial connection: 1. If necessary, download the latest version of Putty, which is a free and reliable SSH, Telnet, and serial client. Version 0.59 or higher contains support for serial connections. 2. Using a standard, grounded DB9 serial cable, connect your PC’s valid/active COM port to the serial port on the reader, as illustrated below: 3. Power the reader and wait for the boot sequence to complete.
Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide Step 4: Power the Reader You have two choices for powering Speedway/R: • • Power over Ethernet (PoE) External power supply If you are using PoE, your reader began receiving power when you connected it to the network in the previous step. Therefore, there is nothing more you need to do. If you are using an external power supply, connect the AC power plug into a suitable 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power outlet.

Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide Appendix A: Information Specific to Regions of Operation Speedway/R is designed to work in various regulatory regions. This appendix includes frequency ranges and antenna requirements specific to each supported region. Note that this first release of Speedway/R covers operation in North America only. Important For each region, the reader is locked such that it can operate only in the specific frequencies for that region.
Appendix A: Information Specific to Regions of Operation Installation Because Speedway/R is capable of up to +32.5 dBm conducted power on the housing RF connector, professional installation is required. Power Speedway/R may only be operated with Impinj-approved antennas and can radiate no more than 36 dBm EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power) per FCC Part 15.247 regulations.
