Impinj R700 Reader The reader provides network connectivity between tag data and enterprise system software. The Impinj R700 reader oers many key features that increase application exibility:

Compact Form Factor: The compact size of the Impinj R700 reader, 8.4 7.4 1.2 inches or 214 187 30 mm (with the mounting brackets) and 8.4 5.9 1.2 inches or 214 149 30 mm

(without the mounting brackets), eases installation in tight spaces and in embedded applications. High Performance Features: The Impinj R700 reader uses a variety of high performance features making it possible to read more than 1100 tags per second. Features include Autoset, Low Duty Cycle, dynamic antenna switching, inventory search modes that improve tag population management, and receive sensitivity ltering for read-zone connement. Ease of Use Features: The Impinj R700 reader uses industry-standard application interfaces, which simplies integration with RFID middleware or custom software solutions. It also oers enterprise-class management and monitoring capability. 8 Robust Reader Design: The Impinj R700 reader uses a single circuit board design and also sports an external case that doubles as both sturdy physical protection and a heat-sink. Low Power Usage: With a low power design, the Impinj R700 reader is fully powered using only Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+). Using PoE simplies deployment and dramatically reduces costs and greenhouse gas emissions of your RFID infrastructure. Note: Maximum transmit power varies by region and by PoE level according to the following table:

Region PoE PoE+

FCC EU1 EU2 JP 30.0 dBm 33.0 dBm 30.0 dBm 31.5 dBm 30.0 dBm 33.0 dBm 30.0 dBm 30.0 dBm 4.1 Requirements for Using the Impinj R700 Reader 4.1.1 Environmental Requirement Operating temperature: -20 C to +50 C (-4 F to +122 F) Humidity: 5% - 95% (non-condensing) Sealing: IP50 4.1.2 Hardware Requirements TCP/IP network equipment is required to connect the reader to a PC (Windows, Mac, or Linux), or other network terminal. The network connection must provide power (PoE or PoE+). Connecting to the reader console port requires a USB cable with a micro-USB connector. Impinj-approved UHF RFID antenna or antennas are required, including associated RF cable or cables with an RP-TNC male connector interface. Wi-Fi adapters supported include the Panda PAU06 802.11n dongle and any dongle with the Ralink RT2870 chipset. 4.1.3 Power Requirements The RF transmit power is limited by the type of power supplied (PoE, or PoE+). Power requirements also vary depending on the use of power drawn from the USB ports, the current draw from the GPIO port, and the length of the Ethernet cable from the power source to the reader. In general, the more power that is being used, the more likely that PoE+ will be needed to supply enough power to keep the reader operating without "browning out". Specically, the supplied PoE type can be mapped to dierent maximum power usage scenarios involving transmit power, length of Ethernet cable (Cat 5E or better) and combined current draw on the GPIO and USB ports, as detailed in the table below.

For more information, see Information Specic to Regions of Operation. 4.1.4 Supported Operating Environments This section describes the environments in which you can access the RShell console that is used for conguring, monitoring, and maintaining the reader. The tools that you use when you access the RShell console depend on the Operating System that is running on your computer. Supported Operating Environments Interface Protocol Recommended Tools Microsoft Windows Linux Ethernet SSH Port 22 SSH or Putty 1 USB Host SSH Port 22 SSH or Putty 1 SSH SSH 1 https://www.putty.org 4.1.5 Supported Communication Protocol For client control of the reader, the Impinj R700 reader supports the EPCglobal Low Level Reader Protocol

(LLRP) v1.0.1 and the IoT Device Interface Protocol (IoT). LLRP is an EPCglobal standard interface that allows communication with the reader. The Impinj IoT Device Interface provides a REST API for interfacing with the reader and an intuitive web UI for easy reader conguration and deployment. Note: These interfaces are mutually exclusive. The reader can use only one interface at a time. It is possible to switch between LLRP and IoT using either RSHELL or the web UI. In RSHELL, the cong rd interface command sets the RFID reader interface to LLRP or to IoT using the following parameters:

Cong RFID Interface Command Parameters Command Description llrp rest Enable Impinj LLRP Interface. Enable Impinj Impinj IoT Device Interface (default) In the web UI, click the Change Interface button to switch between LLRP and IoT. The button is found at the top of the reader information panel on the web UI Home page, as shown in the image below. 10 Reader Interface Button 4.1.6 Antenna Requirements The Impinj R700 reader provides four independent, bidirectional, and full duplex TX/RX monostatic antenna ports. Antenna requirements vary by regulatory region. For details about the requirements for a specic region, see the relevant antenna section in Information Specic to Regions of Operation. 11 5 Installing and Connecting the Impinj R700 Reader This section provides details about the R700 reader I/O ports and status LEDs. It also explains how to install the reader and connect it to your network. 5.1 R700 Reader Ports and LEDs The following graphic illustrates the I/O ports located on the Impinj R700 reader. R700 reader Port Connections Note: See Appendix B: GPIO Details for functional and electrical specications, and for details about each pin of the GPIO connectors (Phoenix Contact 1803345). Antenna ports and LED status indicators are located on the back panel of the reader. The graphic below illustrates their locations:

R700 Reader Antenna Ports and Status LEDs Antenna LEDs are located on the top surface of the reader, next to the antenna ports. The graphic below shows their locations:

12 R700 Reader Antenna Activity LEDs The next section describes the four primary LED categories and their blink patterns, and the section following that describes the two Ethernet LEDs and their blink patterns. 5.1.1 R700 Reader LED Blink Patterns The R700 reader has several LEDs to indicate reader operational status. The four LED categories are upgrade, inventory, antenna, and system. Each LED has its own blink patterns to convey status to the user (see below).

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. Test the reader installation by reading tags. 5.3 Detailed Installation Procedures This section provides the details for each installation and connection step. 5.3.1 Step 1: Position the Impinj R700 reader and (optionally) mount the reader Choose the appropriate location for the reader. Ideally you should always keep the unit away from direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme temperatures, and sources of electromagnetic interference. Any combination of these conditions might degrade performance or shorten the life of the unit. Additionally, you need to account for the bend radius of the coaxial cable at the antenna connection points if it is mounted close to another perpendicular object. The Impinj R700 reader requires Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) and obtains its electrical power with data via standard cable in an Ethernet network. Depending on your environment, you might need to mount the reader to a wall or another object. There are two options for mounting the Impinj R700 reader, using either mounting brackets or the VESA-style mounting holes. To mount the Impinj R700 reader using the supplied mounting brackets:

15 1. Locate the mounting brackets with four mounting holes on the bottom of the reader, as shown in the gure below. Impinj R700 Mounting Bracket Locations 2. Use a inch diameter bolt with 20 threads per inch (20) or M6 screws to secure the unit. You can mount the reader either horizontally or vertically. Caution: If there is any chance of dust or water exposure, you should mount the reader so that the Ethernet, USB, Console, and GPIO ports are facing down to prevent ingress. Attention: Si il ny a aucune chance de poussire ou deau exposition, vous devez monter le lecteur de sorte que les ports Ethernet, USB, console et GPIO sont orients vers le bas pour empcher la pntration. To mount the R700 reader using the VESA mounting holes:

1. Remove the supplied mounting brackets. 16 2. Attach the reader to a standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mount, using the pre-drilled holes shown in the gure below. R700 Reader VESA Mount Hole Locations 5.3.2 Step 2: Connect the antenna(s) to the R700 reader The R700 reader has four antenna ports. Each port is independent, bidirectional, and full duplex TX/RX

(monostatic). Warning:

You must use Impinj-approved antennas with the Impinj R700 reader. See Information Specic to Regions of Operation for a detailed list of approved vendors. Using any other antenna may adversely aect performance or damage the reader. The Impinj R700 reader requires professional installation to correctly set the TX power for the RF cable and antenna selected. Avertissement:

17 Vous devez utiliser des antennes Impinj-approuvs avec Impinj R700. Voir Informations Spciques aux Rgions de lOpration pour une liste dtaille des fournisseurs approuvs. Utilisation de toute autre antenne peut aecter les performances ou endommager le lecteur. Impinj R700 exige installation professionnelle pour dnir correctement la puissance dmission pour le cble RF et une antenne slectionn. Warning: You must use 50 ohm impedance cable. Select good quality, low loss cable with high quality connectors. Return loss better than 10 dB is required. Avertissement: Vous devez utiliser un cble dimpdance de 50 ohms. Slectionnez un cble de onne qualit faible perte avec des connecteurs de haute qualit. Maintenir une perte de retour meilleure que 10 dB est requis. To connect the antenna(s) to the reader:

1. Position each reader antenna, keeping the following points in mind:

Position the antenna(s) to achieve the most eective and ecient tag reads. Position the antenna(s) to maximize operator safety. Personnel should remain at a safe distance at all times. For the specic requirements for your regulatory region, see: Information Specic to Regions of Operation. 2. Mount the antenna(s) according to the instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer. 3. Attach the antenna cable(s) to the antenna port(s) on the reader. Choose any port for any antenna. 4. Finger-tighten each connection, making sure the connection is secure. The antenna cable is properly tightened when you are no longer able to twist the cable inside the connector. Note: A loose connection negatively impacts the performance of the antenna. Caution: Impinj designed the R700 antenna ports to be self-terminating. It is important that you do not terminate unused antenna ports. Leave them unconnected. Attention: Impinj conu les ports antenne de R700 auto-terminaison. Cest important que vous ne rsiliez pas ports dantenne pas utiliss. Laisser-les sans rapport. 5.3.3 Step 3: Connect the Impinj R700 Reader to the Network You are now ready to connect the installed Impinj R700 reader to your network. The network connection serves a dual purpose on the Impinj R700 reader, as it supplies both data connectivity and power. To power the Impinj R700 reader with the Ethernet connection, there are two options:

If your network switch directly provides PoE or PoE+, simply connect to the switch with an Ethernet cable. If your network switch does not have PoE or PoE+ capability, use a PoE injector adapter. The PoE injector adapter connects to the end of the un-powered Ethernet cable from your switch or PC, and then another Ethernet cable runs from the power-injector to the Impinj R700 reader. 18 IMPORTANT: Automatic selection of PoE+ depends on LLDP support at the power source. If your switch or injector adapter does not support LLDP but does provide PoE+ power levels, you must manually congure the expected power levels using the RShell command:

> config system power source PoE+

You can also set the power source with the web UI:

After manually setting the power source to PoE+, you must reboot the reader so that the change can take eect. Please refer to the Impinj RShell Reference Manual for more details on doing this with RShell. The following screenshot shows how to reboot with WebUI. The selected power source will persist across reboots, but will need to be congured again after a full system reset. The boot sequence begins in either case when power is supplied to the reader. This sequence typically completes within 30 seconds. After the boot sequence nishes, the reader accepts commands, not before. The Power and Status LEDs on the reader alert you to the status. For more information, see Impinj R700 Reader Ports and LEDs. Note that the network address of the reader will depend upon your network conguration and preferences:

If your network supports DHCP, you can connect the reader directly to your Ethernet network. The DHCP server will assign an address to the reader. If your network does not support DHCP, the reader defaults to the following xed IP address: 169.254.1.1. If this address is already in use, the reader will select a random xed IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx 19 link local address range. You can also connect to the reader by connecting via the micro-USB port and use the readers RShell command-line interface to congure a static IP address for the reader. After that is completed, you can connect the reader to your Ethernet network. The following screenshot shows how to set a static IP address using WebUI. First, select Network from the menu at the top of the page. Next, select your interface from the Interface List. Finally, enter your address in the IPV4 Conguration dialog box (see below) or IPV6 Conguration box (not shown). The Impinj R700 reader supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. In a dual network environment (where both an IPv4 and IPv6 address are assigned to the reader), Octane will preferentially choose the IPv6 address for the LLRP connection. However, if the IPv6 address is not available when the reader is booting, but the IPv4 address is available, then Octane will choose an IPv4 address. You can conrm which IP address Octane is using for the LLRP connection via either WebUI or the RShell console (using the "show network summary"

command). To conrm the readers IP address with WebUI, rst select the Network menu item at the top of the page, then select your interface from the Interface List, and nally, consult the following dialog box:

20 Details about how to complete each connection option are described in the table below. Before proceeding, make note of the readers factory default network settings. Default Network Settings Settings Description Hostname impinj-xx-xx-xx, where xx-xx-xx is the last three bytes of the readers MAC address DHCP Enabled. The reader also reports its hostname to the DHCP server. Note: The readers MAC address is printed on the label attached to the reader case. Note: When the reader is plugged into a network that doesnt have a DHCP server OR when the PC is connected directly to the reader via Ethernet cable, the reader defaults to a xed IP address (169.254.1.1). If this address is not available, the reader then randomly selects a xed IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx link local address range. To connect the Impinj R700 Reader to the Ethernet network Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect the RJ-45 connector on the reader to a LAN drop or network switch. Note: If you need to connect a PC directly to the Ethernet port, you can use a standard Ethernet cable. A crossover cable is not necessary. To troubleshoot Ethernet network connections Use the following steps to troubleshoot problems with connecting to the reader over TCP/IP:

1. "Ping" the reader, for example ping impinj-1d-00-dd.local (for the Impinj R700 reader). If you are on an enterprise network, you usually dont have to use .local. When the reader is directly connected to the PC, make sure the PC is on the same subnet as the reader. For example, if the readers IP address is 169.254.1.1, set the PCs IP address somewhere in the 169.254.xxx.xxx address range. 2. If the ping is NOT successful, you will probably see one of these three error messages:

21

"Ping request could not nd host"

"Request timed out"

"Destination host unreachable"

The likely cause for these errors is that your PC does not have Bonjour Print Services installed. For installation instructions, see http://support.apple.com/kb/dl999. (For Linux-based clients, one equivalent service is the Avahi daemon.) To connect an Impinj R700 reader to your PC over the host USB connection 1. Conrm that you have the latest version of Putty, a free and reliable SSH, and serial client. Putty version 0.60 or later contains support for serial connections. 2. Connect a USB cable to the mini-USB connector on the back of the reader (the right-most port in the gure showing the port connections). 3. Power up the reader and wait for the boot sequence to complete. 4. On the PC, run the Putty application and adjust the session options to use the Serial connection type, and set the Serial line to COM1. Note: If you are using a serial to USB adapter, this eld can be set to a dierent COM port. 5. Set Speed to 115200. Putty Session Settings 6. In the left-hand Category panel of the Putty application, click on the Serial category. The right-hand panel will display the options for controlling local serial lines. The general session settings will populate the appropriate elds. 22 7. Set Flow control to None, and then click Open. Putty Serial Settings 8. On the RShell console window, press Enter. The RShell login prompt displays. COM1 Putty Login Prompt 9. At the RShell login prompt shown in the gure directly above, log in to the reader using the administrator credentials. The default credentials are as follows. username: root password: impinj 10. When the RShell command-line prompt displays, begin conguring the network settings for the reader. For more information, see Using RShell to Congure Network Settings for Impinj R700, or see the gure below for the appropriate WebUI dialog. 11. When you have completed conguration of the appropriate network settings, connect the reader to your Ethernet network. 23 Note: If you decide to connect to DHCP after connecting serially, remember to use RShell to change the IP address on the reader from static to dynamic. For more information, see Using RShell to Congure Network Settings for Impinj R700. The dialog box below shows how to congure network settings with WebUI. You must rst select Network from the menu at the top of the page, and then select your interface from the Interface List. 5.3.4 Step 4: Congure the Region Setting on the Reader ETSI readers require that the specic region of operation be set by the professional installer. Note that readers cannot be altered and only operate per the regulatory laws in USA/Canada. Warning: The RF settings must match the country/region of operation to comply with local laws and regulations. You, the user, are responsible to ensure operation with the correct RF settings and are solely responsible for any nes and other damages due to incorrect or non-compliant country/region settings on your Reader. Avertissement: Les paramtres RF doivent correspondre au pays / rgion dexploitation se con-

former aux lois et rglements locaux. Vous, lutilisateur, sont chargs dassurer le fonctionnement avec les paramtres RF correctes et sont seuls responsables de toutes les amendes et autres dommages imputables des manipulations ou les paramtres de pays / rgion non-conformes sur votre lecteur. Out of the box, the ETSI R700 reader is congured to use the EU1 region by default. If the EU2 region is desired instead, it can be selected and set with RShell or WebUI. Note: The default for FGX readers is region NONE, which must be changed in order to perform RFID operations. 24 To set the region for a Reader by using a web interface 1. Connect to the Reader by using a web browser using the following format:

http://<reader name or IP address>. Examples:

http://impinj-1d-00-dd http://10.0.10.44 2. Log in to the reader using the administrator credentials. The default credentials are as follows. username: root password: impinj Note: impinj is the default password. It is recommended you create your own after logging on for the rst time. 3. Select one of the available regions from the dropdown list, as shown in the gure below. Note: If you dont see your country or region listed, contact Impinj to nd out about current regulatory approval status. 4. On the Change Regulatory Region dialog, click Reboot. When you change the Readers operating region, the change does not take eect until the next reboot. If you attempt RFID operations on the Reader after you change the region but before you reboot the Reader, you will get unexpected behavior. The following illustrations show how to change the readers region with WebUI. 25 Change Regulatory Region Web Interface Note: If only one region is available on your reader, the Change Region button will not be available. To set the region for a Reader by using RShell commands Alternately, you can use the following RShell commands to set or change an ETSI region of operation:

> show system region This shows the congured region and a list of selectable regions.

> config system region X This sets the region to the region number X. For example, to set the ETSI region to EU2, type cong system region 29.

> reboot When you change the Readers operating region, the change does not take eect until the next reboot. If you attempt RFID operations on the Reader after you change the region but before you reboot the Reader, you will get unexpected behavior. Note: Region numbers are listed, in various tables, in the LLRP Guide. 26 5.3.5 Step 5: Test the Installed Reader Conrm that connections and functionality are correct by reading tags. You can quickly verify reader operation by using ItemTest, a Windows PC test application from Impinj. To use ItemTest, you congure various reader parameters and then run simple inventory operations. For more information about how to access and use ItemTest, see Using ItemTest to Congure and Test R700. 27 6 Conguring and Monitoring Impinj R700 Reader This section provides a high-level overview of the conguration and monitoring options available for the Impinj R700 reader. 6.1 Conguring the Impinj R700 Reader You can think of Impinj R700 reader conguration in two categories: conguring the device itself and conguring the readers RF behavior. This section provides the basics for each type of conguration. 6.1.1 Device Conguration RShell is a proprietary command-line management interface used to congure and manage network settings, rmware upgrades, and other device-oriented operations. This section introduces the RShell commands to use to install and connect the reader. The RShell Reference Manual provides full details and syntax for all RShell commands. Note: RShell is a machine interface and is almost always backward compatible with previous reader hardware versions. Existing inputs and outputs will never change. When new arguments are added, they are always optional and always added to the end of the parameter list. Using RShell to Congure Network Settings for Impinj R700 You can often get up and running with little or no conguration if you use the default conguration settings in the Impinj R700 reader. However, if you are not using DHCP to assign IP addresses, you will need to congure a few of the readers network settings. The following procedure outlines the RShell commands you might need to connect the reader to your network. To congure the readers network settings 1. Open the RShell console. For more information, see the procedure to connect over host USB. 2. View the readers current conguration settings by entering the show network summary command at the RShell command prompt as shown in the following example:

> show network summary Status='0,Success'

PrimaryInterface='eth0'

ActiveInterface='eth0'

Hostname='impinj-1d-00-dd'

connectionStatus='Connected'

ipAddressMode='Dynamic'

ipAddress='10.0.10.41'

ipMask='255.255.0.0'

gatewayAddress='10.0.0.10'

broadcastAddress='10.0.255.255'

3. Congure the appropriate TCP/IP parameters for your environment. The applicable commands are:

Setting Hostname

> config network hostname <HOSTNAME>

Setting Static IP Address

> config network ip static <IP ADDRESS> <NETMASK> <GATEWAY>

Note: The IP address is required, however the other parameters are optional. The default value is used if an optional parameter is omitted from the ip command. 28 Note: The reader MUST be rebooted for this command to take eect. Enabling DHCP

> config network ip dynamic Note: The reader MUST be rebooted for this command to take eect. Conguring NTP Servers

> config network ntp disable

> config network ntp add <NTP SERVER ADDRESS>

> config network ntp enable 4. After successfully conguring all required network settings, connect the reader to the network through the Impinj R700 Ethernet port. To edit your network settings with the Web UI, select the Network option from the menu at the top of the page, and then select the interface youre using from the Interface List. You will then be able to edit your settings in the IPV4 Conguration dialog box or IPV6 Conguration box (not shown). 29 6.1.2 RF Conguration How you congure your readers RF behavior depends entirely on your implementation approach. You might be using a custom software application, middleware running on a server, or some other approach. ItemTest, described in the next section, is an example of a PC client application. Regardless of the application youre using, the underlying protocol is the same, Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP). LLRP is a standard, asymmetric, binary protocol used for communication between a client application and the reader. LLRP controls the readers receive sensitivity, its antenna transmit power conguration, and the operating reader conguration, among other features. For more information, see the following documents:

LLRP Standard This document provides the specics of the LLRP standard ratied by EPCglobal. http://gs1.org/sites/default/les/docs/epc/llrp_1_0_1-standard-20070813.pdf Octane LLRP This document provides details of the LLRP capabilities that are supported by the Impinj R700 reader. It also describes custom LLRP extensions added by Impinj. Impinj LTK Programmers Guide This guide is intended for software engineers and provides guidelines and best practices for working with the LLRP Toolkit. In addition, software engineers can access language-specic reference guides and sample applications that illustrate the scenarios discussed in the Programmers Guide. Using ItemTest to Congure and Test Impinj R700 Impinj provides a simple, easy-to-use LLRP application to use to congure and test the basic RF behavior of the Impinj R700 reader. The ItemTest application is available from the Impinj support Web site at support.impinj.com. ItemTest version 2.0 and later will support the Impinj R700 reader. To use ItemTest, your computer must be running a minimum of Windows 7 and have .NET Framework 4.6.1 installed. Note: ItemTest must be installed by a user with administrator privileges. This section describes how to connect to and congure a readers RF parameters by using ItemTest. It also provides a high-level description of each parameter. To congure and test a reader by using ItemTest 30 1. Install and launch the ItemTest application. The screen shown in the gure below displays. ItemTest Initial Screen 2. Click the "plus" button next to Data Sources. The Add a data source screen displays. 31 ItemTest Add a Data Source Screen 3. On the Add a data source page, in Hostname eld, type the readers hostname or IP address. Note: You can nd out the name and the IP address by using the RShell show network summary command. The show network summary command provides the dynamic values that are returned by DHCP or LLA if the current conguration is dynamic. The local hostname resolution feature (mDNS) gives the reader a local hostname in addition to an IP address as its network identity. On an isolated network that lacks DNS service but that has mDNS enabled, a reader with hostname impinj-1d-00-dd, for example, can be reached using impinj-1d-00-dd.local. 4. Optionally, enter a nickname for this reader (can be shorter and/or more memorable than the reader hostname or address). 5. In the Data Source Type eld, select "Octane SDK". 6. Click the ADD DATA SOURCE button, and the Inventory Start Screen is shown. 32 ItemTest Inventory Start Screen 7. Under the list of DATA SOURCES, click the name of the recently added reader. A conguration page for the Inventory showcase will display, as shown in the gure below. 33 ItemTest Reader Inventory Settings Screen 8. In Reader Mode, select 1002. The Reader Mode species the rules to use for communication between the reader and the tag. When you enable AutoSet Dense Reader Deep Scan, the reader automatically senses the environment and adjusts the mode accordingly. 9. In Session, select Session 1. In Search Mode, select Dual Target. Heres how Session and Search Mode work together to control when and how often the reader reads a tag. Each tag contains a ag that is ipped from A to B or from B to A when it is read. The Session value controls how long the ag retains its value before reverting to the original value. Search Mode controls which ag values the reader reads and, in some cases, what happens to the ag value after the tag is read. When you set Search Mode to Dual Target, the reader reads all the tags that have A ags. Then, after reading the tags, the reader ips each tag to B. When there are no more A tags to read, the reader reads all the B tags, ipping each one to A after it has been read. It continues this process back and forth from A to B and back to A. Session 1 ensures that there is a persistence period that prevents tags from reverting before they have all been read. 10. At the top, is a text box to list the antenna ports to enable on the reader. By default, all antennas are listed. Enter a comma-separated list of antennas you wish to use. You can click ALL to have all possible antennas listed. It isnt a problem if you leave all ports enabled, but it does increase processing time because the reader reads all enabled ports. The reader veries the presence of an antenna before attempting to activate it. 11. Select the desired transmit power under POWER AND SENSITIVITY SETTINGS. Transmit power controls the power of the signal leaving the antenna, as well as the signal range. The optimal setting depends on many things:

how you are powering the reader 34 the length of the cable that connects the antenna to the reader number of antennas in the area distance anticipated between the antenna and the tags Use the default value of 30 dBm for testing purposes. Remember, you are conguring the reader to test your installation. Adjust these settings later when you begin using the reader in a live RFID operation as needed. 12. Leave the other settings at their defaults (for now) and click the SAVE button at the bottom of the screen. The Inventory start screen will be displayed, as already shown in the gure entitled ItemTest Inventory Start Screen. 13. Test your reader installation. Place one or more tags in the read-zone of one or more of the attached antennas. On the ItemTest Inventory screen, click the start button at the top of the window. Tag reads appear under the data headings and are continuously updated with the latest readings for each unique EPC. When you are satised that you are seeing the expected tags, click the stop button at the top of the screen (in the same location where the start button used to be). Unique EPCs with tag read counts will be listed on the Inventory screen, as shown in the gure below. ItemTest Tag Inventory Results In the results shown in the gure above, the reader detected 129 unique tags. Because the search mode is Dual Target, the reader continuously reads the tags, rst reading the A ags, and then reading the B ags. Notice that two of the tag entries are shown with a darker gray background. The tag entry background changes to a darker level of gray the more time has passed since it was last actively read. 6.2 Monitoring Impinj R700 Reader Use RShell to monitor the health and performance of the reader when the Impinj R700 reader is up and running. This section presents the primary RShell commands to use for viewing network and RFID statistics, in addition to the reader logs. For more information about these commands, see the RShell Reference Manual. 35 6.2.1 Viewing Network Parameters and Statistics Use the RShell show network command to display networking parameters and statistics. When you use this command with the parameters shown in the table below, you can see the following information:

Show network Command Parameters Parameter Displayed Information dns icmp dnssd mdns ntp Summary of DNS settings ICMP statistics Summary of DNS-SD settings Summary of mDNS settings Summary of NTP settings summary Summary of system-wide network settings tcp udp http lldp ssh TCP statistics UDP statistics HTTP status LLDP status SSH status portsecurity Port security status sftp SFTP status For details about the specic settings and statistics available for each of these parameters, see the RShell Reference Manual. 6.2.2 Viewing RFID Parameters and Statistics Use the RShell show rd stat command to display a readers RFID parameters and statistics. Using this command with the appropriate parameter, you can view information shown in the Parameter and display table below. Description of show rd stat Command Parameters Parameter Description ReaderOperationalStatus Whether RFID applications are running on the reader. Antenna<n>OperationalStatus Whether an antenna is physically connected and functional. Antenna<n>EnergizedTime The elapsed time that antenna<n> has been powered, in milliseconds. Antenna<n>UniqueInventoryCount The number of unique tags counted at antenna<n>. Antenna<n>TotalInventoryCount The total inventory count for antenna<n>. Antenna<n>ReadCount The number of tags read at antenna<n> that matched the congured lters. Antenna<n>FailedReadCount The number of failed reads. Note: <n> indicates the antenna port on the reader, a value of 1-4. 36 Note: FailedReadCount refers specically to the number of tags where a read was attempted at antenna<n>

because the tag matched the congured lter, but the read failed. The table above shows a sample of the commands available to get RFID statistics. For the full list as well as syntax details, see the RShell Reference Manual. Note: You can see statistics for the LLRP interface between the reader and a client by using the show rd llrp stat command. For more information, see the RShell Reference Manual. 6.2.3 Conguring and Viewing Impinj R700 Reader Logs The Impinj R700 reader uses the standard Syslog protocol to forward its logged events to a remote Syslog server. The reader stores the logged events in its le system, accumulating and retaining this information across reboots. Logs can be retrieved from the reader at http://root:{PASSWORD}@${READER_NAME}/cgi-bin/syslog. The default password is "impinj". Logs are classied into three categories:

Management RFID System All logged events have an associated severity level. There are eight possible levels listed in decreasing order from most severe to least severe:

1. Emergency 2. Alert 3. Critical 4. Error 5. Warning 6. Notice 7. Info 8. Debug Congure the log levels that you want to display. The reader then retains only the events with a severity greater than or equal to the congured level. For example, if you choose a logging level of Warning, then the logs will contain the following levels: Warning, Error, Critical, Alert, and Emergency. Note: Regardless of the congured log level, the reader always retains logs of events with Error level or higher in an independent log. Use the RShell cong logging command to congure options for storing and forwarding logged events. Use the show logging command to display the logging conguration as well as the actual logged information in text form. For more information about these commands, see the RShell Reference Manual. 6.2.4 Viewing the State of the Impinj R700 Reader To display information about the current state of the reader itself, use the RShell show system command. When you use this command, you can see the following statistics:

A summary of system information show system summary Platform memory usage and available application space show system cpu Generic platform statistics show system platform For more information about the show system command, see the RShell Reference Manual. 37 7 Upgrading the Impinj R700 Reader Firmware The Impinj R700 reader contains rmware known as Octane. The current version of Octane is version 8.1.7.240. This section describes how to manually upgrade a single reader. In addition to supporting upgrade procedures, the Impinj R700 reader also provides methods for reverting rmware to a previous valid image and restoring rmware to factory default settings. The procedure for reverting to the previous valid image is explained in this section. The procedure for returning to factory defaults is explained in Troubleshooting. 7.1 A Brief Overview of the Impinj R700 Reader Firmware To minimize downtime and maximize the robust handling of possible upgrade failures, the Impinj R700 reader contains dual images of its rmware. When a rmware image upgrade is requested, the reader continues to operate using the primary image. In the background, the Impinj R700 reader upgrades the secondary image. When the upgrade completes, the reader reboots to the newly upgraded image. The Impinj R700 reader retains the previous rmware version in case there are problems with the upgrade. There are three individual partitions within each rmware image that logically organize the system software. Although you do not need a full understanding of this architecture to perform a simple manual upgrade, it is a good idea to be familiar with its structure at a high level. For a more in-depth discussion of the rmware and how rmware is organized, see the Embedded Developers Guide. The three partitions in rmware are:

1. System Operating Partition (SOP) The SOP is the primary system partition of the Impinj R700 reader. It contains the Linux kernel, FPGA rmware, RFID management software, reader management software (RShell), logging management software, rmware upgrade control, system watchdog software, and the factory default data. 2. System Persistent Partition (SPP) Files in this partition are automatically generated and maintained by the software that runs on the reader. It contains the reader conguration (network settings, LLRP conguration, log settings, and so on), reader logs, and debug information used by Impinj engineers. 3. Custom Application Partition (CAP) This partition contains custom application software, other items required by the custom application (extra libraries or tools, and conguration les), and custom application logs. 7.2 Upgrading the Firmware The Impinj R700 reader provides three methods for upgrading:

1. The RShell command line interface 2. Firmware saved on a USB memory drive plugged into the reader host port 3. The Impinj R700 reader management web page 7.2.1 Upgrading the Firmware Using RShell Use this procedure to use RShell to upgrade the rmware:

1. Obtain the rmware upgrade le from the Impinj support Web site, support.impinj.com. The upgrade le extension is .upgx. (Example: Impinj_R700_Firmware_v8.1.7.240.upgx). 2. Place the upgrade le on a server (http or sftp) that is accessible by the reader you are upgrading. 3. Using an SSH client application such as Putty, connect to the reader using by SSH or serial, and then log in. 4. From the RShell command prompt, issue the following command:

38

> config image upgrade where <URI> is the server location and the name of the upgrade le. For example:

> config image upgrade http://usacorp/rfid/reader/image/Impinj_R700_Firmware_v8.1.7.240.upgx or

> config image upgrade sftp://user:pass@myserver/dir/Impinj_R700_Firmware_v8.1.7.240.upgx 5. After you start the upgrade, view the upgrade status at any time by issuing the following command:

> show image summary 6. This command displays the current upgrade status, the last operation, the status of the last operation, and information about the primary and secondary images. Reissue the show image summary command if you want to track the upgrade status. Some status values you might see are:

WaitingForImageFileTransfer WaitingForCommitImage WaitingToActivateImmediate The upgrade is complete when the UpgradeStatus parameter value is Ready. The LastOperation parameter LastOperationStatus should be set to WaitingForManualReboot. should be set to WaitingToActivateImmediate and the 7. Reboot the reader by issuing the following command:

> reboot The reboot process displays messages in the RShell console as it goes through each stage of the process. The reboot completes, and then the reader login prompt displays on the console. The reader System LED displays solid blue. For more information about LED activity during an upgrade, see the tables in Impinj R700 Ports and LEDs. 7.2.2 Upgrading the Firmware Using a USB Drive The Impinj R700 reader supports upgrading the rmware by using a USB drive. First, obtain the rmware upgrade le from the Impinj support Web site, support.impinj.com. The upgrade le extension is .upgx. (Example: Impinj_R700_Firmware_v8.1.7.240.upgx). To prepare the USB drive for the upgrade 1. Insert a USB drive into your computer. 2. Format the USB drive as FAT32. 3. Create a directory named impinj in the root of the USB drive, and create the subdirectories revolution, upgrade, and images. The names of these directories are case sensitive and must all be lower case. 4. Copy the desired rmware upgrade .upgx le into the directory: impinj\revolution\upgrade\images. Note: If multiple .upgx les exist in the images directory, the reader will use the most recently modied le. 5. Remove the USB drive from your computer. 39 To use the USB drive to update the reader 1. Conrm that the reader is ready for upgrade, and that the System LED is solid blue and the Upgrade LED is o. 2. Insert the USB drive into the "USB Host" port on the reader. Within 5-10 seconds, the reader will begin upgrading the reader and the Upgrade LED will blink blue. If the Upgrade LED remains o, the reader likely cannot locate the images directory and .upgx le on the USB drive. 3. The upgrade process completes in 20-60 seconds and then the Upgrade LED changes to solid blue. 4. Remove the USB drive from the "USB Host" port and reboot the reader. During the upgrade process, the reader will attempt to append information to a status.log le in the impinj/revolution/upgrade directory. The status.log le is intended to provide an audit trail for the upgrade of one or more readers. If the rmware upgrade process fails, the System LED will blink red. Remove the USB drive, reboot the reader, and check the status.log le for the reason of the failure. 7.2.3 Upgrading the Firmware through the Reader Management Web Page You can also update the device rmware from the Firmware and CAP panel of the web UI Home page. This panel displays the current rmware version. Click on the version number for additional rmware version details such as build revision, build date and time, and build plan. 1. Connect to the reader using a web browser and navigate to http://<reader name or IP address>. Examples:

http://impinj-1d-00-dd or http://10.0.10.44 2. Log in to the reader using the following credentials:

username: root password: impinj 3. Select a .upgx or .raucb le either by clicking on the select link or by dragging the le into the boxed region. 4. After the upgrade is complete, click the Reboot button from the R700 Reader panel. Note: The new rmware is not active until the reader is rebooted. 7.2.4 Reverting to the previous image Use the following procedure if you need to revert to the pre-upgrade image. 1. To revert to the pre-upgrade image, enter the following command from the RShell prompt:

> config image fallback When the command completes successfully, the reader automatically reboots and returns to the login prompt. 2. Log in to the reader. The pre-upgrade image is now running. Note: If there is no valid previous image, the response to the cong image fallback command is Status=8, Permission-Denied. 40 7.2.5 Reboot and fallback procedures After failing to boot ve times within 90 seconds, the reader will fall back to the previous image and attempt to boot again. This behavior enables the reader to boot when the main boot image is corrupt or has other issues. 7.2.6 Preserving the RFID interface during an upgrade In some cases when upgrading to Impinj R700 Reader rmware version 8.0 or higher from rmware before 8.0, the upgrade process will select the IoT Device Interface by default. Here is a workaround to avoid unexpectedly switching the interface. It is useful for CAPs as well as other clients. 1. Set the RFID interface to one you dont wish to use. 2. Next, set the interface to the preferred one. 3. Upgrade to Impinj R700 Reader rmware, version 8.0. The result should be an upgrade with the preferred RFID interface selected. Here is a second workaround, which works for programmatic clients (either CAPs running on the reader or external clients), which works both before and after the upgrade to 8.0. 1. Check which interface is selected before issuing RFID commands. 2. Set the interface to the correct one if necessary, using either RShell or API endpoints. Note: the RFID interface is a shared resource and can be changed in multiple ways:

1. From the WebUI 2. From the RShell interface 3. From the Host Conguration portion of the IoT Device Interface API 41 8 Troubleshooting After failing to boot ve times within 90 seconds, the reader will fall back to the previous image and attempt to boot again. This behavior enables the reader to boot when the main boot image is corrupt or has other issues. 8.1 Returning to the Default Conguration If you are experiencing a problem with the reader and are having diculty pinpointing the cause, it is useful to return the reader to a known state. We recommend resetting to the default conguration. Then try your reader again. Important: Conguration Default Restore returns the reader conguration to its default state. It leaves any custom applications installed in the CAP intact. To restore the reader to its default state and remove any CAP contents, use Factory Default Restore. There are two ways to return the Impinj R700 reader to its defaults:

1. Issue an RShell command. This leaves any installed CAP in place. 2. Press the Default Restore button on the device. This removes any installed CAP. To use RShell to return the reader to its default conguration and leave CAP intact 1. At the RShell prompt, enter the following command:

> config image default When the command completes successfully, the reader automatically reboots and returns to the login prompt. 2. Log in to the reader. The reader is now running with the default conguration, and CAP applications are intact. To use the Default Restore button on the reader to restore to its default conguration and remove any CAP 1. Power o the reader. 2. Use an object with a sharp tip, such as a probe or paper clip, to press and hold the Default Restore button on the back of the reader while the reader is powered o. 3. Be sure to be pressing the Default Restore button while plugging in power to the reader. 4. Release the Default Restore button when the LED blinks blue once, when 5 or more seconds have passed. The reader will boot up normally with the default conguration and any installed CAP will have been removed. Caution: When you press the Default Restore button, press straight down, and only hard enough to make the button move. Otherwise, you might damage the Impinj R700 reader. Avertissement: Lorsque vous appuyez sur le bouton de restauration par dfaut, appuyez tout droit vers le bas, et seulement assez fort pour faire bouger le bouton. Sinon, vous risquez dendommager le Impinj R700 lecteur. 42 Default Restore button The following table lists the default conguration values.

tion, and watchdog bundles generated by watchdog reboots. These diagnostic bundles contain logs, core les, the RDD buer, and other reader conguration and state information. For example, to generate and download a diagnostic log, you can issue the following command (replace the string $READER_HOSTNAME with the IP address of the reader):

43 curl -vkL -u root:impinj --output diagnostic_bundle.zip \

https://$READER_HOSTNAME/api/v1/system/diagnostics/debug-bundle/

For more information, consult the Octane RESTful API. 8.3 Submitting Diagnostic Data for Analysis by Impinj Technical Support If the Impinj R700 reader is exhibiting RF behavior that is dierent from what you expect and you are unable to determine the cause, you might want to submit relevant data for analysis by Impinj Technical Support. You can use the Impinj ItemTest application to easily capture data related to the problem scenario. By creating and providing a Reader Diagnostic Data le, Impinjs Technical Support team can troubleshoot your issue. To capture data to a Reader Diagnostic Data le 1. Open ItemTest and connect to the appropriate reader. For more information, see the gure entitled Item Test Initial Screen, shown earlier in this document. 2. Select the desired reader under the Data Sources heading in the left panel. 3. Select the Diagnostics tab near the top of the resulting reader page. 4. Enter or browse for a destination folder. 5. Choose a le name prex (cannot be empty) and the desired capture window time in minutes (must be 1 or greater; the practical upper limit is 10). 6. Select Start to begin the capture session. ItemTest connects to the reader and begins "listening" for any RF activity. The reader captures data surrounding any RF activity it detects. 44 Reader Diagnostic Data Capture 7. Congure and initiate the reader operation you would like to troubleshoot. 8. Select Stop to stop the session. Two diagnostic les will be saved in a folder named after the reader

For more information see Radio Standards Specication RSS-102 Issue 5 dated April 2018 Installation The Impinj R700 reader is capable of up to +33.0 dBm conducted power on the housing RF connector and requires professional installation. Power When paired with an antenna, the reader may radiate no more than 36dBm EIRP per FCC Part 15.247 regulations. The reader output power can be increased to provide the maximum allowable EIRP subject to a maximum conducted power allowance of 30 dBm at the antenna connector. The maximum allowable output power of the reader can be set to satisfy both the conductor and radiated maximum criteria. The expression for the maximum reader power setting is:

Maximum power setting (in dBm) = the Smaller of: (36 - Composite Antenna Gain (in dBm)), or (30 +

The maximum Speedway output power is determined by the following equation:

Maximum power setting (in dBm) = 33 Antenna Gain (in dBd) + Cable loss (in dB) For example, for an application with an antenna gain of 6 dBd and cable loss of 2 dB, the Reader output power can be set no higher than 33-6+2 = 29 dBm. The maximum transmit power of Speedway is 31.5dBm measured at the RF antenna port. Note: It is important to apply the antenna gain expressed in dBd (dB with respect to a dipole), which is equivalent to the isotropic antenna gain (in dBi) minus 2.15 dB. Additionally, the antenna gain used to set the output power must be the maximum linear gain of the applicable antenna. Approved antenna vendors, model numbers, and associated gain are listed below.

The output power is limited per the Japan RFID regulations to 30dBm. Approved Antennas Contact your value-added distributer for the current list of approved antennas for use in Japan. 58 10 Appendix B: GPIO Details The Impinj R700 reader includes a multipurpose I/O port that provides two general-purpose opto-isolated inputs, three opto-isolated outputs, and a +5V supply. You access these features through a 9-pin connector mounted on the side of the reader. The two opto-isolated inputs have a range of 030V. The reader treats an input of 00.8V as a logic 0, and an input of 330V as a logic 1. The reader has a per-input debounce interval that is congurable via LLRP.

(See the document titled Octane LLRP for more information). This value dictates the minimum pulse width of an input. Impinj recommends that external devices guarantee a minimum pulse width of at least 100 milliseconds. The reader also provides three opto-isolated outputs. For the GPIO outputs to function, an external user supply must be connected between V+, and V-. The maximum voltage for this supply is 30V. When the user congures a selected GPIO output via LLRP to output logic 0, an isolated FET switch within the reader eectively shorts that output to V- with a current sink capability of up to 1500mA. When the user congures a selected GPIO output to logic 1, the selected output is pulled to V+ through a 10K resistor. If GPIO isolation is not required, the reader provides a +5V supply and a ground pin on the connector that can be connected to V+ and V-. The +5V pin is current limited to 500mA, max. The gure below shows the location of the connector on the reader, with pin 1 highlighted to reveal the numbering scheme. GPIO Port Location Note: As described above, both the input and output pins are opto-isolated. The GPIO connector is a Phoenix Contact MC 1,5/ 9-G-3,81 modular connector, which also goes by the part number 1803345. Use this part name/number when looking for a compatible adapter. Warning: Do not attach a lightstack or other output device that requires reader output to sink more than 1500mA. Attaching non-approved devices will result in unrecoverable damage to the reader and is not covered by warranty, as it is outside the specied operating parameters.

Low Power Usage With a low power design, the Impinj R700 reader is fully powered using only Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+). Using PoE simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces costs and greenhouse gas emissions of your RFID infrastructure. Note: Maximum transmit power varies by region and by PoE level according to the following table:

Region PoE PoE+

FCC EU1 EU2 JP 30.0 dBm 33.0 dBm 30.0 dBm 31.5 dBm 30.0 dBm 33.0 dBm 30.0 dBm 30.0 dBm 4.1 Requirements for Using the Impinj R700 Reader 4.1.1 Environmental Requirement Operating temperature: -20 C to +50 C (-4 F to +122 F) Humidity: 5% - 95% (non-condensing) Sealing: IP50 4.1.2 Hardware Requirements TCP/IP network equipment is required to connect the reader to a PC (Windows, Mac, or Linux), or other network terminal. The network connection must provide power (PoE or PoE+). Connecting to the reader console port requires a USB cable with a micro-USB connector. Impinj-approved UHF RFID antenna or antennas are required, including associated RF cable or cables with an RP-TNC male connector interface. Wi-Fi adapters supported include the Panda PAU06 802.11n dongle and any dongle with the Ralink RT2870 chipset. 4.1.3 Power Requirements The RF transmit power is limited by the type of power supplied (PoE, or PoE+). Power requirements also vary depending on the use of power drawn from the USB ports, the current draw from the GPIO port, and the length of the Ethernet cable from the power source to the reader. In general, the more power that is being used, the more likely that PoE+ will be needed to supply enough power to keep the reader operating without browning out. Specifically, the supplied PoE type can be mapped to different maximum power usage scenarios involving transmit power, length of Ethernet cable (Cat 5E or better) and combined current draw on the GPIO and USB ports, as detailed in the table below.

Laisser-les sans rapport. 5.3.3 Step 3: Connect the Impinj R700 Reader to the Network You are now ready to connect the installed Impinj R700 reader to your network. The network connection serves a dual purpose on the Impinj R700 reader, as it supplies both data connectivity and power. To power the Impinj R700 reader with the Ethernet connection, there are two options:

If your network switch directly provides PoE or PoE+, simply connect to the switch with an Ethernet cable. If your network switch does not have PoE or PoE+ capability, use a PoE injector adapter. The PoE injector adapter connects to the end of the un-powered Ethernet cable from your switch or PC, and then another Ethernet cable runs from the power-injector to the Impinj R700 reader. IMPORTANT: Automatic selection of PoE+ depends on LLDP support at the power source. If your switch or injector adapter does not support LLDP but does provide PoE+ power levels, you must manually configure the expected power levels using the RShell command:

17

> config system power source PoE+

You can also set the power source with WebUI:

After manually setting the power source to PoE+, you must reboot the reader so that the change can take effect. Please refer to the Impinj RShell Reference Manual for more details on doing this with RShell. The following screenshot shows how to reboot with WebUI. The selected power source will persist across reboots, but will need to be configured again after a full system reset. The boot sequence begins in either case when power is supplied to the reader. This sequence typically completes within 30 seconds. After the boot sequence finishes, the reader accepts commands, not before. The Power and Status LEDs on the reader alert you to the status. For more information, see Impinj R700 Reader Ports and LEDs. Note that the network address of the reader will depend upon your network configuration and preferences:

If your network supports DHCP, you can connect the reader directly to your Ethernet network. The DHCP server will assign an address to the reader. If your network does not support DHCP, the reader defaults to the following fixed IP address:

169.254.1.1. If this address is already in use, the reader will select a random fixed IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx link local address range. You can also connect to the reader by connecting via the micro-USB port and use the readers RShell command-line interface to configure a static IP address for the reader. After that is completed, you can connect the reader to your Ethernet network. 18 The following screenshot shows how to set a static IP address using WebUI. First, select Network from the menu at the top of the page. Next, select your interface from the Interface List. Finally, enter your address in the IPV4 Configuration dialog box (see below) or IPV6 Configuration box (not shown). The Impinj R700 reader supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. In a dual network environment (where both an IPv4 and IPv6 address are assigned to the reader), Octane will preferentially choose the IPv6 address for the LLRP connection. However, if the IPv6 address is not available when the reader is booting, but the IPv4 address is available, then Octane will choose an IPv4 address. You can confirm which IP address Octane is using for the LLRP connection via either WebUI or the RShell console (using the show network summary command). To confirm the readers IP address with WebUI, first select the Network menu item at the top of the page, then select your interface from the Interface List, and finally, consult the following dialog box:

19 Details about how to complete each connection option are described in the table below. Before proceeding, make note of the readers factory default network settings. Default Network Settings Settings Description Hostname impinj-xx-xx-xx, where xx-xx-xx is the last three bytes of the readers MAC address DHCP Enabled. The reader also reports its hostname to the DHCP server. Note: The readers MAC address is printed on the label attached to the reader case. Note: When the reader is plugged into a network that doesnt have a DHCP server OR when the PC is connected directly to the reader via Ethernet cable, the reader defaults to a fixed IP address (169.254.1.1). If this address is not available, the reader then randomly selects a fixed IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx link local address range. To connect the Impinj R700 Reader to the Ethernet network Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect the RJ-45 connector on the reader to a LAN drop or network switch. Note: If you need to connect a PC directly to the Ethernet port, you can use a standard Ethernet cable. A crossover cable is not necessary. To troubleshoot Ethernet network connections Use the following steps to troubleshoot problems with connecting to the reader over TCP/IP:

1. Ping the reader, for example ping impinj-1d-00-dd.local (for the Impinj R700 reader). If you are on an enterprise network, you usually dont have to use .local. When the reader is directly connected to the PC, make sure the PC is on the same subnet as the reader. For example, if the readers IP address is 169.254.1.1, set the PCs IP address somewhere in the 169.254.xxx.xxx address range. 2. If the ping is NOT successful, you will probably see one of these three error messages:

20 Ping request could not find host Request timed out Destination host unreachable The likely cause for these errors is that your PC does not have Bonjour Print Services installed. For installation instructions, see http://support.apple.com/kb/dl999. (For Linux-based clients, one equivalent service is the Avahi daemon.) To connect an Impinj R700 reader to your PC over the host USB connection 1. Confirm that you have the latest version of Putty, a free and reliable SSH, and serial client. Putty version 0.60 or later contains support for serial connections. 2. Connect a USB cable to the mini-USB connector on the back of the reader (the right-most port in the figure showing the port connections). 3. Power up the reader and wait for the boot sequence to complete. 4. On the PC, run the Putty application and adjust the session options to use the Serial connection type, and set the Serial line to COM1. Note: If you are using a serial to USB adapter, this field can be set to a different COM port. 5. Set Speed to 115200. Putty Session Settings 6. In the left-hand Category panel of the Putty application, click on the Serial category. The right-hand panel will display the options for controlling local serial lines. The general session settings will populate the appropriate fields. 21 7. Set Flow control to None, and then click Open. Putty Serial Settings 8. On the RShell console window, press Enter. The RShell login prompt displays. COM1 Putty Login Prompt 9. At the RShell login prompt shown in the figure directly above, log in to the reader using the adminis-

trator credentials. The default credentials are as follows. user name: root password: impinj 10. When the RShell command-line prompt displays, begin configuring the network settings for the reader. For more information, see Using RShell to Configure Network Settings for Impinj R700, or see the figure below for the appropriate WebUI dialog. 11. When you have completed configuration of the appropriate network settings, connect the reader to your Ethernet network. 22 Note: If you decide to connect to DHCP after connecting serially, remember to use RShell to change the IP address on the reader from static to dynamic. For more information, see Using RShell to Configure Network Settings for Impinj R700. The dialog box below shows how to configure network settings with WebUI. You must first select Network from the menu at the top of the page, and then select your interface from the Interface List. 5.3.4 Step 4: Configure the Region Setting on the Reader ETSI readers require that the specific region of operation be set by the professional installer. Note that readers cannot be altered and only operate per the regulatory laws in USA/Canada. Warning: The RF settings must match the country/region of operation to comply with local laws and regulations. You, the user, are responsible to ensure operation with the correct RF settings and are solely responsible for any fines and other damages due to incorrect or non-compliant country/region settings on your Reader. Avertissement: Les paramtres RF doivent correspondre au pays / rgion dexploitation se con-

former aux lois et rglements locaux. Vous, lutilisateur, sont chargs dassurer le fonctionnement avec les paramtres RF correctes et sont seuls responsables de toutes les amendes et autres dommages imputables des manipulations ou les paramtres de pays / rgion non-conformes sur votre lecteur. Out of the box, the ETSI R700 reader is configured to use the EU1 region by default. If the EU2 region is desired instead, it can be selected and set with RShell or WebUI. Note: The default for FGX readers is region NONE, which must be changed in order to perform RFID operations. 23 To set the region for a Reader by using a web interface 1. Connect to the Reader by using a web browser using the following format:

http://<reader name or IP address>. Examples:

http://impinj-1d-00-dd http://10.0.10.44 2. Log in to the reader using the administrator credentials. The default credentials are as follows. user name: root password: impinj Note: impinj is the default password. It is recommended you create your own after logging on for the first time. 3. Select one of the available regions from the dropdown list, as shown in the figure below. Note: If you dont see your country or region listed, contact Impinj to find out about current regulatory approval status. 4. On the Change Regulatory Region dialog, click Reboot. When you change the Readers operating region, the change does not take effect until the next reboot. If you attempt RFID operations on the Reader after you change the region but before you reboot the Reader, you will get unexpected behavior. The following illustrations show how to change the readers region with WebUI. 24 Change Regulatory Region Web Interface Note: If only one region is available on your reader, the Change Region button will not be available. To set the region for a Reader by using RShell commands Alternately, you can use the following RShell commands to set or change an ETSI region of operation:

> show system region This shows the configured region and a list of selectable regions.

> config system region X This sets the region to region number X. For example, to set the ETSI region to EU2, type config system region 29.

> reboot When you change the Readers operating region, the change does not take effect until the next reboot. If you attempt RFID operations on the Reader after you change the region but before you reboot the Reader, you will get unexpected behavior. Note: Region numbers are listed, in various tables, in the LLRP Guide. 25 5.3.5 Step 5: Test the Installed Reader Confirm that connections and functionality are correct by reading tags. You can quickly verify reader operation by using ItemTest, a Windows PC test application from Impinj. To use ItemTest, you configure various reader parameters and then run simple inventory operations. For more information about how to access and use ItemTest, see Using ItemTest to Configure and Test R700. 26 6 Configuring and Monitoring Impinj R700 Reader This section provides a high-level overview of the configuration and monitoring options available for the Impinj R700 reader. 6.1 Configuring the Impinj R700 Reader You can think of Impinj R700 reader configuration in two categories: configuring the device itself and configuring the readers RF behavior. This section provides the basics for each type of configuration. 6.1.1 Device Configuration RShell is a proprietary command-line management interface used to configure and manage network settings, firmware upgrades, and other device-oriented operations. This section introduces the RShell commands to use to install and connect the reader. The RShell Reference Manual provides full details and syntax for all RShell commands. Note: RShell is a machine interface and is almost always backward-compatible with previous reader hard-

ware versions. Existing inputs and outputs will never change. When new arguments are added, they are always optional and always added to the end of the parameter list. Using RShell to Configure Network Settings for Impinj R700 You can often get up and running with little or no configuration if you use the default configuration settings in the Impinj R700 reader. However, if you are not using DHCP to assign IP addresses, you will need to configure a few of the readers network settings. The following procedure outlines the RShell commands you might need to connect the reader to your network. To configure the readers network settings 1. Open the RShell console. For more information, see the procedure to connect over host USB. 2. View the readers current configuration settings by entering the show network summary command at the RShell command prompt as shown in the following example:

> show network summary Status='0,Success'

PrimaryInterface='eth0'

ActiveInterface='eth0'

Hostname='impinj-1d-00-dd'

connectionStatus='Connected'

ipAddressMode='Dynamic'

ipAddress='10.0.10.41'

ipMask='255.255.0.0'

gatewayAddress='10.0.0.10'

broadcastAddress='10.0.255.255'

3. Configure the appropriate TCP/IP parameters for your environment. The applicable commands are:

Setting Hostname

> config network hostname <HOSTNAME>

Setting Static IP Address

> config network ip static <IP ADDRESS> <NETMASK> <GATEWAY>

Note: The IP address is required, however the other parameters are optional. The default value is used if an optional parameter is omitted from the ip command. 27 Note: The reader MUST be rebooted for this command to take effect. Enabling DHCP

> config network ip dynamic Note: The reader MUST be rebooted for this command to take effect. Configuring NTP Servers

> config network ntp disable

> config network ntp add <NTP SERVER ADDRESS>

> config network ntp enable 4. After successfully configuring all required network settings, connect the reader to the network through the Impinj R700 Ethernet port. To edit your network settings with WebUI, select the Network option from the menu at the top of the page, and then click on the name of the interface in the Interface List. You will then be able to edit your settings in the IPV4 Configuration dialog box or IPV6 Configuration box (not shown). 28 6.1.2 RF Configuration How you configure your readers RF behavior depends entirely on your implementation approach. You might be using a custom software application, middleware running on a server, or some other approach. ItemTest, described in the next section, is an example of a PC client application. Regardless of the application youre using, the underlying protocol is the same, Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP). LLRP is a standard, asymmetric, binary protocol used for communication between a client application and the reader. LLRP controls the readers receive sensitivity, its antenna transmit power configuration, and the operating reader configuration, among other features. For more information, see the following documents:

LLRP Standard This document provides the specifics of the LLRP standard ratified by EPCglobal. http://gs1.org/sites/default/files/docs/epc/llrp_1_0_1-standard-20070813.pdf Octane LLRP This document provides details of the LLRP capabilities that are supported by the Impinj R700 reader. It also describes custom LLRP extensions added by Impinj. Impinj LTK Programmers Guide This guide is intended for software engineers and provides guidelines and best practices for working with the LLRP Toolkit. In addition, software engineers can access language-specific reference guides and sample applications that illustrate the scenarios discussed in the Programmers Guide. Using ItemTest to Configure and Test Impinj R700 Impinj provides a simple, easy-to-use LLRP application to use to configure and test the basic RF behavior of the Impinj R700 reader. The ItemTest application is available from the Impinj support Web site at support.impinj.com. ItemTest version 2.0 and later will support the Impinj R700 reader. To use ItemTest, your computer must be running a minimum of Windows 7 and have .NET Framework 4.6.1 installed. Note: ItemTest must be installed by a user with administrator privileges. This section describes how to connect to and configure a readers RF parameters by using ItemTest. It also provides a high-level description of each parameter. To configure and test a reader by using ItemTest 1. Install and launch the ItemTest application. The screen shown in the figure below displays. 29 ItemTest Initial Screen 2. Click the plus button next to Data Sources. The Add a data source screen displays. 30 ItemTest Add a Data Source Screen 3. On the Add a data source page, in Hostname field, type the readers hostname or IP address. Note: You can find out the name and the IP address by using the RShell show network summary command. The show network summary command provides the dynamic values that are returned by DHCP or LLA if the current configuration is dynamic. The local hostname resolution feature

(mDNS) gives the reader a local hostnam in addition to an IP address as its network identity. On an isolated network that lacks DNS service but that has mDNS enabled, a reader with hostname impinj-1d-00-dd, for example, can be reached using impinj-1d-00-dd.local. 4. Optionally, enter a nickname for this reader (can be shorter and/or more memorable than the reader hostname or address). 5. In the Data Source Type field, select Octane SDK. 6. Click the ADD DATA SOURCE button, and the Inventory Start Screen is shown. 31 ItemTest Inventory Start Screen 7. Under the list of DATA SOURCES, click the name of the recently-added reader. A configuration page for the Inventory showcase will display, as shown in the figure below. 32 ItemTest Reader Inventory Settings Screen 8. In Reader Mode, select 1002. The Reader Mode specifies the rules to use for communication between the reader and the tag. When you enable AutoSet Dense Reader Deep Scan, the reader automatically senses the environment and adjusts the mode accordingly. 9. In Session, select Session 1. In Search Mode, select Dual Target. Heres how Session and Search Mode work together to control when and how often the reader reads a tag. Each tag contains a flag that is flipped from A to B or from B to A when it is read. The Session value controls how long the flag retains its value before reverting to the original value. Search Mode controls which flag values the reader reads and, in some cases, what happens to the flag value after the tag is read. When you set Search Mode to Dual Target, the reader reads all the tags that have A flags. Then, after reading the tags, the reader flips each tag to B. When there are no more A tags to read, the reader reads all the B tags, flipping each one to A after it has been read. It continues this process back and forth from A to B and back to A. Session 1 ensures that there is a persistence period that prevents tags from reverting before they have all been read. 10. At the top, is a text box to list the antenna ports to enable on the reader. By default, all antennas are listed. Enter a comma-separated list of antennas you wish to use. You can click ALL to have all possible antennas listed. It isnt a problem if you leave all ports enabled, but it does increase processing time because the reader reads all enabled ports. The reader verifies the presence of an antenna before attempting to activate it. 11. Select the desired transmit power under POWER AND SENSITIVITY SETTINGS. Transmit power controls the power of the signal leaving the antenna, as well as the signal range. The optimal setting depends on many things:

how you are powering the reader 33 the length of the cable that connects the antenna to the reader number of antennas in the area distance anticipated between the antenna and the tags Use the default value of 30 dBm for testing purposes. Remember, you are configuring the reader to test your installation. Adjust these settings later when you begin using the reader in a live RFID operation as needed. 12. Leave the other settings at their defaults (for now) and click the SAVE button at the bottom of the screen. The Inventory start screen will be displayed, as already shown in the figure entitled ItemTest Inventory Start Screen. 13. Test your reader installation. Place one or more tags in the read-zone of one or more of the attached antennas. On the ItemTest Inventory screen, click the start button at the top of the window. Tag reads appear under the data headings and are continuously updated with the latest readings for each unique EPC. When you are satisfied that you are seeing the expected tags, click the stop button at the top of the screen (in the same location where the start button used to be). Unique EPCs with tag read counts will be listed on the Inventory screen, as shown in the figure below. ItemTest Tag Inventory Results In the results shown in the figure above, the reader detected 129 unique tags. Because the search mode is Dual Target, the reader continuously reads the tags, first reading the A flags, and then reading the B flags. Notice that two of the tag entries are shown with a darker gray background. The tag entry background changes to a darker level of gray the more time has passed since it was last actively read. 6.2 Monitoring Impinj R700 Reader Use RShell to monitor the health and performance of the reader when the Impinj R700 reader is up and running. This section presents the primary RShell commands to use for viewing network and RFID statistics, in addition to the reader logs. For more information about these commands, see the RShell Reference Manual. 34 6.2.1 Viewing Network Parameters and Statistics Use the RShell show network command to display networking parameters and statistics. When you use this command with the parameters shown in the table below, you can see the following information:

Show network Command Parameters Parameter Displayed Information dns icmp dnssd mdns ntp Summary of DNS settings ICMP statistics Summary of DNS-SD settings Summary of mDNS settings Summary of NTP settings summary Summary of system-wide network settings tcp udp http lldp ssh TCP statistics UDP statistics HTTP status LLDP status SSH status portsecurity Port security status sftp SFTP status For details about the specific settings and statistics available for each of these parameters, see the RShell Reference Manual. 6.2.2 Viewing RFID Parameters and Statistics Use the RShell show rfid stat command to display a readers RFID parameters and statistics. Using this command with the appropriate parameter, you can view information shown in the Parameter and display table below. Description of show rfid stat Command Parameters Parameter Description ReaderOperationalStatus Whether RFID applications are running on the reader. Antenna<n>OperationalStatus Whether an antenna is physically connected and functional. Antenna<n>EnergizedTime The elapsed time that antenna<n> has been powered, in milliseconds. Antenna<n>UniqueInventoryCount The number of unique tags counted at antenna<n>. Antenna<n>TotalInventoryCount The total inventory count for antenna<n>. Antenna<n>ReadCount The number of tags read at antenna<n> that matched the configured filters. Antenna<n>FailedReadCount The number of failed reads. Note: <n> indicates the antenna port on the reader, a value of 1-4. 35 Note: FailedReadCount refers specifically to the number of tags where a read was attempted at antenna<n>

because the tag matched the configured filter, but the read failed. The table above shows a sample of the commands available to get RFID statistics. For the full list as well as syntax details, see the RShell Reference Manual. Note: You can see statistics for the LLRP interface between the reader and a client by using the show rfid llrp stat command. For more information, see the RShell Reference Manual. 6.2.3 Configuring and Viewing Impinj R700 Reader Logs The Impinj R700 reader uses the standard Syslog protocol to forward its logged events to a remote Sys-

log server. The reader stores the logged events in its file system, accumulating and retaining this information across reboots. Logs can be retrieved from the reader at http://root:{PASSWORD}@${READER_NAME}/cgi-bin/syslog. The default password is impinj. Logs are classified into three categories:

Management RFID System All logged events have an associated severity level. There are eight possible levels listed in decreasing order from most severe to least severe:

1. Emergency 2. Alert 3. Critical 4. Error 5. Warning 6. Notice 7. Info 8. Debug Configure the log levels that you want to display. The reader then retains only the events with a severity greater than or equal to the configured level. For example, if you choose a logging level of Warning, then the logs will contain the following levels: Warning, Error, Critical, Alert, and Emergency. Note: Regardless of the configured log level, the reader always retains logs of events with Error level or higher in an independent log. Use the RShell config logging command to configure options for storing and forwarding logged events. Use the show logging command to display the logging configuration as well as the actual logged information in text form. For more information about these commands, see the RShell Reference Manual. 6.2.4 Viewing the State of the Impinj R700 Reader To display information about the current state of the reader itself, use the RShell show system command. When you use this command, you can see the following statistics:

A summary of system information show system summary Platform memory usage and available application space show system cpu Generic platform statistics show system platform For more information about the show system command, see the RShell Reference Manual. 36 7 Upgrading the Impinj R700 Reader Firmware The Impinj R700 reader contains firmware known as Octane. The current version of Octane is version 8.1.0.240. This section describes how to manually upgrade a single reader. In addition to supporting upgrade procedures, the Impinj R700 reader also provides methods for reverting firmware to a previous valid image and restoring firmware to factory default settings. The procedure for reverting to the previous valid image is explained in this section. The procedure for returning to factory defaults is explained in Troubleshooting. 7.1 A Brief Overview of the Impinj R700 Reader Firmware To minimize downtime and maximize the robust handling of possible upgrade failures, the Impinj R700 reader contains dual images of its firmware. When a firmware image upgrade is requested, the reader continues to operate using the primary image. In the background, the Impinj R700 reader upgrades the secondary image. When the upgrade completes, the reader reboots to the newly upgraded image. The Impinj R700 reader retains the previous firmware version in case there are problems with the upgrade. There are three individual partitions within each firmware image that logically organize the system software. Although you do not need a full understanding of this architecture to perform a simple manual upgrade, it is a good idea to be familiar with its structure at a high level. For a more in-depth discussion of the firmware and how firmware is organized, see the Embedded Developers Guide. The three partitions in firmware are:

1. System Operating Partition (SOP) The SOP is the primary system partition of the Impinj R700 reader. It contains the Linux kernel, FPGA firmware, RFID management software, reader management software (RShell), logging management software, firmware upgrade control, system watchdog software, and the factory default data. 2. System Persistent Partition (SPP) Files in this partition are automatically generated and maintained by the software that runs on the reader. It contains the reader configuration (network settings, LLRP configuration, log settings, and so on), reader logs, and debug information used by Impinj engineers. 3. Custom Application Partition (CAP) This partition contains custom application software, other items required by the custom application (extra libraries or tools, and configuration files), and custom application logs. 7.2 Upgrading the Firmware The Impinj R700 reader provides three methods for upgrading:

1. The RShell command line interface 2. Firmware saved on a USB memory drive plugged into the reader host port 3. The Impinj R700 reader management web page 7.2.1 Upgrading the Firmware Using RShell Use this procedure to use RShell to upgrade the firmware:

1. Obtain the firmware upgrade file from the Impinj support Web site, support.impinj.com. The upgrade file extension is .upgx. (Example: Impinj_R700_Firmware_v8.1.0.240.upgx). 2. Place the upgrade file on a server (http or sftp) that is accessible by the reader you are upgrading. 3. Using an SSH client application such as Putty, connect to the reader using by SSH or serial, and then log in. 4. From the RShell command prompt, issue the following command:

37

> config image upgrade where <URI> is the server location and the name of the upgrade file. For example:

> config image upgrade http://usacorp/rfid/reader/image/Impinj_R700_Firmware_v8.1.0.240.upgx or

> config image upgrade sftp://user:pass@myserver/dir/Impinj_R700_Firmware_v8.1.0.240.upgx 5. After you start the upgrade, view the upgrade status at any time by issuing the following command:

> show image summary 6. This command displays the current upgrade status, the last operation, the status of the last operation, and information about the primary and secondary images. Reissue the show image summary command if you want to track the upgrade status. Some status values you might see are:

WaitingForImageFileTransfer WaitingForCommitImage WaitingToActivateImmediate The upgrade is complete when the UpgradeStatus parameter value is Ready. The LastOperation parameter should be set to WaitingToActivateImmediate and the LastOperationStatus should be set to WaitingForManualReboot. 7. Reboot the reader by issuing the following command:

> reboot The reboot process displays messages in the RShell console as it goes through each stage of the process. The reboot completes, and then the reader login prompt displays on the console. The reader System LED displays solid blue. For more information about LED activity during an upgrade, see the tables in Impinj R700 Ports and LEDs. 7.2.2 Upgrading the Firmware Using a USB Drive The Impinj R700 reader supports upgrading the firmware by using a USB drive. First, obtain the firmware upgrade file from the Impinj support Web site, support.impinj.com. The upgrade file extension is .upgx. (Example: Impinj_R700_Firmware_v8.1.0.240.upgx). To prepare the USB drive for the upgrade 1. Insert a USB drive into your computer. 2. Format the USB drive as FAT32. 3. Create a directory named impinj in the root of the USB drive, and create the subdirectories revolution, upgrade, and images. The names of these directories are case sensitive and must all be lower case. 4. Copy the desired firmware upgrade .upgx file into the directory: impinj\revolution\upgrade\images. Note: If multiple .upgx files exist in the images directory, the reader will use the most recently modified file. 38 5. Remove the USB drive from your computer. To use the USB drive to update the reader 1. Confirm that the reader is ready for upgrade, and that the System LED is solid blue and the Upgrade LED is off. 2. Insert the USB drive into the USB Host port on the reader. Within 5-10 seconds, the reader will begin upgrading the reader and the Upgrade LED will blink blue. If the Upgrade LED remains off, the reader likely cannot locate the images directory and .upgx file on the USB drive. 3. The upgrade process completes in 20-60 seconds and then the Upgrade LED changes to solid blue. 4. Remove the USB drive from the USB Host port and reboot the reader. During the upgrade process, the reader will attempt to append information to a status.log file in the impinj/revolution/upgrade directory. The status.log file is intended to provide an audit trail for the upgrade of one or more readers. If the firmware upgrade process fails, the System LED will blink red. Remove the USB drive, reboot the reader, and check the status.log file for the reason of the failure. 7.2.3 Upgrading the Firmware through the Reader Management Web Page You can also upgrade the firmware by accessing the Impinj R700 Reader Management web page, and running the upgrade from the management web page. 1. Connect to the reader using a web browser and navigate to http://<reader name or IP address>. Examples:

http://impinj-1d-00-dd or http://10.0.10.44 2. Log in to the reader using the following credentials:

user name: root password: impinj 3. Select a .upgx or .raucb file either by clicking on the select link or by dragging the file into the boxed region. 4. After the upgrade is complete, click the Reboot button from the R700 Reader panel. Note: The new firmware is not active until the reader is rebooted. 7.2.4 Reverting to the previous image Use the following procedure if you need to revert to the pre-upgrade image. 1. To revert to the pre-upgrade image, enter the following command from the RShell prompt:

> config image fallback When the command completes successfully, the reader automatically reboots and returns to the login prompt. 2. Log in to the reader. The pre-upgrade image is now running. Note: If there is no valid previous image, the response to the config image fallback command is Status=8, Permission-Denied. 39 7.2.5 Reboot and fallback procedures After failing to boot five times within 90 seconds, the reader will fall back to the previous image and attempt to boot again. This behavior enables the reader to boot when the main boot image is corrupt or has other issues. 7.2.6 Preserving the RFID interface during an upgrade In some cases when upgrading to Impinj R700 Reader firmware version 8.0 or higher from firmware before 8.0, the upgrade process will select the IoT Device Interface by default. Here is a workaround to avoid unexpectedly switching the interface. It is useful for CAPs as well as other clients. 1. Set the RFID interface to one you dont wish to use. 2. Next, set the interface to the preferred one. 3. Upgrade to Impinj R700 Reader firmware, version 8.0. The result should be an upgrade with the preferred RFID interface selected. Here is a second workaround, which works for programmatic clients (either CAPs running on the reader or external clients), which works both before and after the upgrade to 8.0. 1. Check which interface is selected before issuing RFID commands. 2. Set the interface to the correct one if necessary, using either RShell or API endpoints. Note: the RFID interface is a shared resource and can be changed in multiple ways:

1. From the WebUI 2. From the RShell interface 3. From the Host Configuration portion of the IoT Device Interface API 40 8 Troubleshooting After failing to boot five times within 90 seconds, the reader will fall back to the previous image and attempt to boot again. This behavior enables the reader to boot when the main boot image is corrupt or has other issues. 8.1 Returning to the Default Configuration If you are experiencing a problem with the reader and are having diiculty pinpointing the cause, it is useful to return the reader to a known state. We recommend resetting to the default configuration. Then try your reader again. Important: Configuration Default Restore returns the reader configuration to its default state. It leaves any custom applications installed in the CAP intact. To restore the reader to its default state and remove any CAP contents, use Factory Default Restore. There are two ways to return the Impinj R700 reader to its defaults:

1. Issue an RShell command. This leaves any installed CAP in place. 2. Press the Default Restore button on the device. This removes any installed CAP. To use RShell to return the reader to its default configuration and leave CAP intact 1. At the RShell prompt, enter the following command:

> config image default When the command completes successfully, the reader automatically reboots and returns to the login prompt. 2. Log in to the reader. The reader is now running with the default configuration, and CAP applications are intact. To use the Default Restore button on the reader to restore to its default configuration and remove any CAP 1. Power off the reader. 2. Use an object with a sharp tip, such as a probe or paper clip, to press and hold the Default Restore button on the back of the reader while the reader is powered off. 3. Be sure to be pressing the Default Restore button while plugging in power to the reader. 4. Release the Default Restore button when the LED blinks blue once, when 5 or more seconds have passed. The reader will boot up normally with the default configuration and any installed CAP will have been removed. Caution: When you press the Default Restore button, press straight down, and only hard enough to make the button move. Otherwise, you might damage the Impinj R700 reader. Avertissement: Lorsque vous appuyez sur le bouton de restauration par dfaut, appuyez tout droit vers le bas, et seulement assez fort pour faire bouger le bouton. Sinon, vous risquez dendommager le Impinj R700 lecteur. 41 Default Restore button The following table lists the default configuration values.

mation, and watchdog bundles generated by watchdog reboots. These diagnostic bundles contain logs, core files, the RDD buffer, and other reader configuration and state information. For example, to generate and download a diagnostic log, you can issue the following command (replace the string $READER_HOSTNAME with the IP address of the reader):

42 curl -vkL -u root:impinj --output diagnostic_bundle.zip \

https://$READER_HOSTNAME/api/v1/system/diagnostics/debug-bundle/

For more information, consult the Octane RESTful API. 8.3 Submitting Diagnostic Data for Analysis by Impinj Technical Support If the Impinj R700 reader is exhibiting RF behavior that is different from what you expect and you are unable to determine the cause, you might want to submit relevant data for analysis by Impinj Technical Support. You can use the Impinj ItemTest application to easily capture data related to the problem scenario. By creating and providing a Reader Diagnostic Data file, Impinjs Technical Support team can troubleshoot your issue. To capture data to a Reader Diagnostic Data file 1. Open ItemTest and connect to the appropriate reader. For more information, see the figure entitled Item Test Initial Screen, shown earlier in this document. 2. Select the desired reader under the Data Sources heading in the left panel. 3. Select the Diagnostics tab near the top of the resulting reader page. 4. Enter or browse for a destination folder. 5. Choose a file name prefix (cannot be empty) and the desired capture window time in minutes (must be 1 or greater; the practical upper limit is 10). 6. Select Start to begin the capture session. ItemTest connects to the reader and begins listening for any RF activity. The reader captures data surrounding any RF activity it detects. 43 Reader Diagnostic Data Capture 7. Configure and initiate the reader operation you would like to troubleshoot. 8. Select Stop to stop the session. Two diagnostic files will be saved in a folder named after the reader

(full host name) inside of the Destination folder specified earlier. The diagnostic files will be named starting with the Prefix provided earlier, plus the start time of the data capture. One data file will have the file extension .fdd and one will have the file extension .rdd. This completes the capture activity. 9. Send any .fdd, .rdd, or .sdd files to Impinj Technical Support. Visit the Impinj support Web site, support.impinj.com, for submission details or talk with your Impinj representative. Note: Another option to capture diagnostic data is to create a network trace by using Wireshark, a free protocol analyzer download from the Internet. 44 9 Appendix A: Information Specific to Regions of Operation The Impinj R700 reader is designed to work in various regulatory regions. This appendix contains frequency ranges and antenna requirements specific to each supported region. 9.1 Operation in North America 9.1.1 Frequency Plan in North America The FCC specifies frequency hopping across the North American spectrum (USA, Canada, and Mexico) allocated to UHF RFID (902-928 MHz) using FHSS (frequency-hopping spread spectrum).

The maximum Speedway output power is determined by the following equation:

Maximum power setting (in dBm) = 33 Antenna Gain (in dBd) + Cable loss (in dB) For example, for an application with an antenna gain of 6 dBd and cable loss of 2 dB, the Reader output power can be set no higher than 33-6+2 = 29 dBm. The maximum transmit power of Speedway is 31.5dBm measured at the RF antenna port. Note: It is important to apply the antenna gain expressed in dBd (dB with respect to a dipole), which is equivalent to the isotropic antenna gain (in dBi) minus 2.15 dB. Additionally, the antenna gain used to set the output power must be the maximum linear gain of the applicable antenna. Approved antenna vendors, model numbers, and associated gain are listed below. Approved Antennas Laird Technologies Model Number S8658PCL/R (left- or right-hand CP) with integrated pigtail to RP-TNC male connector; 3.85 dBd gain.

The output power is limited per the Japan RFID regulations to 30dBm. Approved Antennas Contact your value-added distributer for the current list of approved antennas for use in Japan. 57 10 Appendix B: GPIO Details The Impinj R700 reader includes a multipurpose I/O port that provides two general-purpose opto-isolated inputs, three opto-isolated outputs, and a +5V supply. You access these features through a 9-pin connector mounted on the side of the reader. The two opto-isolated inputs have a range of 030V. The reader treats an input of 00.8V as a logic 0, and an input of 330V as a logic 1. The reader has a per-input debounce interval that is configurable via LLRP.

(See the document titled Octane LLRP for more information). This value dictates the minimum pulse width of an input. Impinj recommends that external devices guarantee a minimum pulse width of at least 100 milliseconds. The reader also provides three opto-isolated outputs. For the GPIO outputs to function, an external user supply must be connected between V+, and V-. The maximum voltage for this supply is 30V. When the user configures a selected GPIO output via LLRP to output logic 0, an isolated FET switch within the reader effectively shorts that output to V- with a current sink capability of up to 1500mA. When the user configures a selected GPIO output to logic 1, the selected output is pulled to V+ through a 10K resistor. If GPIO isolation is not required, the reader provides a +5V supply and a ground pin on the connector that can be connected to V+ and V-. The +5V pin is current limited to 500mA, max. The figure below shows the location of the connector on the reader, with pin 1 highlighted to reveal the numbering scheme. GPIO Port Location Note: As described above, both the input and output pins are opto-isolated. The GPIO connector is a Phoenix Contact MC 1,5/ 9-G-3,81 modular connector, which also goes by the part number 1803345. Use this part name/number when looking for a compatible adapter. Warning: Do not attach a lightstack or other output device that requires reader output to sink more than 1500mA. Attaching non-approved devices will result in unrecoverable damage to the reader and is not covered by warranty, as it is outside the specified operating parameters.
