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 power to the Reader. 4. Connect the Reader to the network. 5. Congure region setting on the Reader (not required if FCC, ETSI, Japan, or Australia). 6. 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 SpeedwayReader 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 Speedway Reader supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and can obtain its electrical power with data via standard cable in an Ethernet network. If you plan to power the Reader by using an external universal power supply, conrm that there is a standard 120 or 220 VAC outlet nearby. Depending on your environment, you might need to mount the Reader to a wall or another object. version 5.14.1 23 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide To mount the Speedway Reader:
1. Locate the four mounting slots on the Reader, as shown in Figure 6. Figure 5.3 Speedway Mounting 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. version 5.14.1 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. 24 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 5.3.2 Step 2: Connect the Antenna(s) to the Speedway Reader Depending on the Speedway model you are installing, the Reader has either one antenna port
(R120), two antenna ports (R220) or four antenna ports (R420). Each port is independent, bidi-
rectional, and full duplex TX/RX (monostatic). Warning: You must use Impinj-approved antennas with Speedway. See Appendix A: Information Specic to Regions of Operation in section 9 for a detailed list of approved vendors. Using any other antenna may adversely aect performance or damage the Reader. Speedway requires professional installation to correctly set the TX power for the RF cable and antenna selected. Avertissement: Vous devez utiliser des antennes Impinj-approuvs avec Speedway. Voir lAnnexe A: Informations Spciques aux Rgions de lOpration la secton 9 pour une liste dtaille des fournisseurs approuvs. Utilisation de toute autre antenne peut aecter les performances ou endommager le lecteur. Speedway exige installation professionnelle pour dnir correctement la puissance dmission pour le cble RF et une antenne slectionn. 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 Appendix A: 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. version 5.14.1 25 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Caution: Impinj designed the Speedway antenna ports to be self-terminating. It is important that you do not terminate unused antenna ports. Leave them unconnected. Avertissement: Impinj conu les ports antenne de Speedway auto-terminaison. Cest important que vous ne rsiliez pas ports dantenne pas utiliss Laisser-les sans rapport. 5.3.3 Step 3: Power the Reader You have two choices for powering Speedway:
Power over Ethernet (PoE) External universal power supply If your network switch is PoE-enabled, the Reader powers on when you connect it to the network. If you are using a listed/certied power supply, connect the AC power plug into a suitable 100240 VAC, 5060 Hz power outlet. Note, on Cisco Catalyst series switches the Ethernet POE port will automatically disable itself if the reader has a listed/certied power supply connected. In this situation, the Cisco port must be set to POE = never, using the following Cisco conguration commands. In this example slot 5, port 2 is being set to POE = never. Switch# congure terminal Switch(cong)# interface fastethernet 5/2 Switch(cong-if)# power inline never Switch(cong-if)# end Switch#
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 com-
mands, not before. The Power and Status LEDs on the Reader alert you to the status. For more information, see section 5.1 Speedway Ports and LEDs. Important: We recommend that you do not connect both a POE and a listed/certied
!
If a Reader is receiving power via PoE and the Reader detects power supply to the Reader. that a listed/certied power supply has been connected, the Reader reboots and switches to the listed/certied power supply source. If, however, the Reader is receiving power via a listed/certied version 5.14.1 26 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide power supply and detects the connection to a PoE-enabled network switch, nothing changes. The Reader continues to receive power from the listed/certied power supply. The listed/certied power supply always takes precedence over PoE because the listed/certied power supply is capable of higher power if both sources are connected. 5.3.4 Step 4: Connect the Speedway Reader to the Network You are now ready to connect the installed Speedway Reader to your network. You have two options:
If your network supports DHCP, you can connect the Reader directly to your Ethernet network. After the Reader is powered, immediately communicate with it via SSH (TCP/IP). If your network does not support DHCP, or if you want to connect a PC directly to the Reader via Ethernet cable, 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 link local address range. You can also connect to the Reader by using an RS-232 serial connection via the Console port. 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. Starting with the Octane 4.8 release, WiFi (wireless networking) is supported by using an adapter connected to the USB port on Speedway. Only WiFi adapters that use the Realtek 8187 chipset/driver are supported. Contact Impinj to obtain a list of compatible WiFi USB adapters brands/models and use the RShell Reference Manual for get more information about how to congure WiFi. Starting with the Octane 5.10 release, connecting to the reader via an IPv6 address is supported. 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 may choose the IPv4 address. You can conrm which IP address Octane is using for the LLRP connection via either the Web UI or the RShell console (using the show network summary command). Details about how to complete each connection option are described in Table 5.11. Before proceed-
ing, make note of the Readers factory default network settings. Table 5.11: Default Network Settings version 5.14.1 27 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide DHCP Settings Description Hostname SpeedwayR-XX-XX-XX where XX-XX-XX is the last three bytes of the Readers MAC address (which is printed on the version label attached to the Reader case. Enabled. The Reader also reports its hostname to the DHCP server. 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 Speedway 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. A typical network conguration is shown in Figure 5.4. Figure 5.4 Connecting the Speedway Reader to the Ethernet Network 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 speedwayr-10-28-42.local (for the Speedway Reader). If you are on an enterprise network, you usually dont have to use .local version 5.14.1 28 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 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:
Ping request could not nd host Request timed out Destination host unreachable The likely cause for these errors is that your PC doesnt have Bonjour Print Ser-
vices installed. For installation instructions, see http://support.apple.com/kb/
dl999. To connect a Speedway Reader to your PC over a serial 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. Use a Cisco style Console cable RJ-45 to DB9, Impinj part number IPJA4000000, to connect your PCs valid/active COM port to the serial port on the Reader, as shown in Figure 5.5. Figure 5.5 Speedway Serial Connection 3. Power up the Reader and wait for the boot sequence to complete. For more information, see Section 5.3 Step 3: Power the Reader. version 5.14.1 29 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 4. On the PC, run the Putty application and select the Serial connection option. 5. On the Putty Conguration dialog, shown in Figure 5.6, verify that Serial line to connect to is set to COM1. Note: If you are using a serial to USB adapter, this eld can be set to a dierent COM port. 6. Set Speed to 115200. 7. Set Flow control to None, and then click Open.

The RShell login prompt displays. version 5.14.1 30 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 5.7 COM1 Putty Login Prompt 8. At the RShell login prompt shown in Figure 5.7, log in with the following default credentials, unless you have customized them:
user name: root password: impinj 9. When the RShell command-line prompt displays, begin conguring the network settings for the Reader. For more information, see Section 6.1.1 Using RShell to Congure Network Settings for Speedway. 10. When you have completed conguration of the appropriate network settings, connect the Reader to your Ethernet network. For more information about how to do this, see section 5.3.4 Step 4: Connect the Speedway Reader to the Network. 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 Section 6.1.1 Using RShell to Congure Network Settings for Speedway. 5.3.5 Step 5: Congure the Region Setting on the Reader GX1 or GX2 Reader models that support multiple countries require that the specic region of operation be set by the professional installer. Note that FCC, ETSI, Japan, and Australia Readers cannot be altered and only operate per the regulatory laws in USA/Canada, the European Union, Japan, and Australia. 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 conformer aux lois et rglements locaux.

rgion non-conformes sur votre lecteur. version 5.14.1 31 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Out of the box, GX1 and GX2 Readers are not congured with a region (null region) and will not transmit RFID signals. The region can be selected and set by using the Readers http interface in a web browser, or by using RShell. 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://speedwayr-10-00-DD http://10.0.10.44. 2. Log in to the Reader using the following credentials;
user name: root password: impinj 3. Select one of the available regions from the dropdown list, as shown in Figure 5.8. 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. version 5.14.1 32 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 5.8 Change Regulatory Region Web Interface To set the region for a Reader by using RShell commands Alternately, you can use the following RShell commands to set or change a GX1 or GX2 region of operation:
show system region shows the congured region and a list of selectable regions. cong system region X set the region to region number X. For example, to set the GX1 region to Singapore, type cong system region 15. 5.3.6 Step 6: 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 Speedway in section 6.1.2. version 5.14.1 33 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 6 Conguring and Monitoring Speedway This section provides a high-level overview of the conguration and monitoring options available for Speedway Reader. 6.1 Conguring Speedway Reader You can think of Speedway 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 Speedway versions. Existing inputs and outputs will never change. When new commands are added, new optional arguments are added at the end. Using RShell to Congure Network Settings for Speedway You can often get up and running with little or no conguration if you use the default conguration settings in Speedway. 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 a Speedway Reader to your PC over a serial connection in section 5.3.4. 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 version 5.14.1 34 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Status='0,Success'
PrimaryInterface='eth0'
ActiveInterface='eth0'
Hostname='SpeedwayR-00-00-B9'
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 com-
mands are:
Setting Hostname
> cong network hostname <HOSTNAME>
Setting Static IP Address
> cong 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. Note: The reader MUST be rebooted for this command to take eect. Enabling DHCP
> cong network ip dynamic Note: The reader MUST be rebooted for this command to take eect. Conguring NTP Servers
> cong network ntp add <NTP SERVER ADDRESS>
4. After successfully conguring all required network settings, connect the Reader to the network through the Speedway Ethernet port. version 5.14.1 35 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 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 applica-
tion and the Reader. LLRP controls the conguration of the antenna transmit power, the receive sensitivity, the operating Reader, and more. For more information about LLRP, see the following documents:
LLRP Standard This document provides the specics of the LLRP standard rat-
http://www.epcglobalinc.org/standards/llrp/llrp_1_0_ ied by EPCglobal. 1-standard-20070813.pdf Octane LLRP This document provides details of the LLRP capabilities that are supported by Speedway. 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 Speedway Impinj provides a simple, easy-to-use LLRP application to use to congure and test the basic RF behavior of Speedway. The ItemTest application is available from the Impinj support Web site at support.impinj.com. ItemTest supports features that are available with Octane 5.X rmware. 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 and operated 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 1. Install and launch the ItemTest application. The screen shown in Figure 6.1 displays. version 5.14.1 36 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 6.1 ItemTest initial screen 2. Click Reader Settings. The Reader Settings screen displays. version 5.14.1 37 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 6.2 ItemTest Reader Settings Connection Screen 3. On the Reader Settings page, in the bottom left, click New. In the Input Hostname eld, type the Readers IP address or hostname. Then click OK. 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 speedwayr000102, for example, can be reached using speedwayr000102.local. version 5.14.1 38 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 6.3 ItemTest Reader Settings Connection Screen with Name 4. In the Reader Settings dialog box, click Congure, The page shown in Figure 6.4 displays. version 5.14.1 39 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 6.4 ItemTest Reader Settings Screen 6. If the Antenna Hub feature is enabled on the Reader, Antenna Hub Enabled will be displayed in red to the right of the antenna conguration. Note: The Antenna Hub feature is only available on the Speedway R120 (via the Antenna Hub Port Pack) and R420 (via the Antenna Hub). 7. In Reader Mode, select Mode 1000: AutoSet Dense Reader. The Reader Mode species the rules to use for communication between the Reader and the tag. When you enable AutoSet Dense, the Reader automatically senses the environment and adjusts the mode accordingly. 8. 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 version 5.14.1 40 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide it is read. The Session value controls how long the ag retains its value before reverting back to the original tag 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 Session 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 i is a persistence period that prevents tags from reverting before they have all been read. 9. At the top, is a text box to list the antenna ports to enable on the Reader. By default, the rst antenna is listed. Enter in the antennas that you wish to use as a comma separated list. 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. 10. Select the desired transmit power under Power Settings. Then select OK. For more infor-
mation, see Figure 6.4. 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 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 if you need to. 14. Test your Reader installation. Place one or more tags in the read-zone of one or more of the attached antennas. On the ItemTest application screen, click Start. Tag reads appear under Inventory, as shown in Figure 6.5. version 5.14.1 41 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 6.5 ItemTest Tag Inventory Display In this case, the Reader detected two 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 in Figure 6.6 that one of the tag entries is a pinkish color. The tag entry changes to red when a tag is not actively read. For example, if you change the Search Mode to Single Target with Suppression, the Reader reads each tag only once. Both entries would quickly turn red and stay red as shown in Figure 6.6. version 5.14.1 42 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 6.6 ItemTest Tag Inventory Aging Display If you see tag data appearing in ItemTest, your Reader is most likely installed correctly and the antennas are functioning properly. If you do not see all the tags that you placed in the read-zone, try moving the tags to a slightly dierent location or orientation. 15. Click Stop to stop the tag inventory process. 6.2 Monitoring Speedway Use RShell to monitor the health and performance of the Reader when Speedway 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. version 5.14.1 43 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Speedway also supports industry standard SNMP, with MIB2 and EPCglobal Reader Management MIB. For more information, see the Octane SNMP Guide. 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 Table 6.1, you can see the following informa-
tion:
Table 6.1 Show network Command Parameters Parameter dhcp dhcp icmp ip ntp summary tcp udp Displayed Information Summary of DHCP client conguration Summary of DNS settings ICMP statistics IP statistics Summary of NTP settings Summary of network settings TCP statistics UDP statistics 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. Table 6.2: Description of show rd stat Command Parameters Parameter ReaderOperationalStatus Description Indicates whether RFID applications are running on the Reader. version 5.14.1 44 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Parameter Description Antenna<n>OperationalStatus Antenna<n>EnergizedTime Antenna<n>UniqueInventory-

Note that <n> indicates the antenna port on the Reader, a value of 1-4. Indicates the elapsed time that anntenna<n> has been powered, in milliseconds. Indicates the number of unique tags counted at antenna<n>. Indicates the total inventory count for antenna<n>. Indicates the number of tags read at antenna<n> that matched the congured lters. Indicates the number of tags where a read was attempted at antenna<n> because the tag matched the congured lter, but the read failed. Table 6.2 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 Speedway Logs Speedway 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 are classied into three categories:
Management RFID System All logged events have an associated severity level. There are eight possible levels listed in decreas-
ing order from most severe to least severe:
1. Emergency 2. Alert version 5.14.1 45 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 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 Speedway 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. version 5.14.1 46 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 7 Upgrading the Speedway Firmware Speedway contains rmware known as Octane. The current version of Octane is version 5.4. This section describes how to manually upgrade a single Reader. In addition to supporting upgrade procedures, Speedway also provides methods for reverting rmware to a previous valid image and restoring rmware to factory default settings. The pro-
cedure for reverting to the previous valid image is explained in this section. The procedure for returning to factory defaults is explained in Section 8 Troubleshooting. 7.1 A Brief Overview of the Speedway Firmware To minimize downtime and maximize the robust handling of possible upgrade failures, Speedway 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, Speedway upgrades the sec-
ondary image. When the upgrade completes, the Reader reboots to the newly upgraded image. Speedway 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 Speedway Reader. It contains the Linux kernel, FPGA rmware, RFID management soft-
ware, Reader management software (RShell), logging management software, rmware up-
grade 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 soft-
ware, other items required by the custom application (extra libraries or tools, and congura-
tion les), and custom application logs. 7.2 Upgrading the Firmware Speedway provides three methods for upgrading:
version 5.14.1 47 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 1. Using RShell, the command line interface. 2. Copying the rmware to a USB memory drive, and plugging it into the Readers host port. 3. Using the Impinj Speedway Reader Management web page. 7.2.1 Upgrading the rmware by 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 .upg. (Example: octane_4_12_0.upg). 2. Place the upgrade le on a server (http or sftp) that is accessible by the Reader you are upgrading. 3. Using the Putty application, connect to the Reader using by SSH or serial, and then log in. 4. From the RShell command prompt, issue the following command:
> cong image upgrade <URI>
where <URI> is the server location and the name of the upgrade le. For example:
> config image upgrade http://usacorp/rfid/reader/image/octane\_4\_10\_0.upg
> config image upgrade sftp://anonymous:abc@myserver/sftpdirecotry/octane\_4\_10\_0.upg.upg 5. After you start the upgrade, view the upgrade status at any time by issuing the following command:
> show image summary 6. This command provides a display of 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 version 5.14.1 48 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 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 Speedway 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 status light displays solid green. For more information, see the tables in Section 5 Speedway Ports and LEDs. 7.2.2 Upgrading the Firmware by using a USB Drive A Speedway Reader that runs Octane 4.4 and later 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 .upg. (Example: octane_4_12_0.upg). To prepare the USB drive for the upgrade 1. Insert a USB drive into your computer. 2. 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. 3. Copy the desired rmware upgrade .upg le into the directory:
`\impinj\revolution\upgrade\images\`
Note: If multiple .upg les exist in the images directory, the Reader will use the most recently modied le. 4. Remove the USB drive from your computer. To use the USB drive to update the Reader version 5.14.1 49 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 1. Conrm that the Reader is ready for upgrade, and that the Power and Status LEDs are 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 Power LED will blink amber. If the Power LED remains solid green, the Reader likely cannot locate the images directory and .upg le on the USB drive. 3. The upgrade process completes in 20-60 seconds and then the Power LED changes to solid illuminated. green. 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 Power 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 upgrade the rmware by accessing the Impinj Speedway 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://speedwayr-10-00-DD or http://10.0.10.44. 2. Log in to the Reader using the following credentials:
user name: root password: impinj 3. Click the Choose File button and then select the rmware upgrade .upg le. 4. Click the Upgrade button. 5. After the upgrade is complete, click the Reset button. version 5.14.1 50 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 7.1 Speedway Reader Management Web Page version 5.14.1 51 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 7.2 Close-up of Reader Upgrade and Reboot Section of Reader Management Web Page 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:
> cong 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. If there is no valid previous image, the response to the cong image fallback Note:
command is Status=8, Permission-Denied. version 5.14.1 52 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 8 Troubleshooting If you experience a problem with Speedway, this brief section presents a few suggestions to correct the issue. 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 cong-
uration. 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. See the Warning below. There are two ways to return Speedway to its defaults:
1. Issue an RShell command. 2. Press the Default Restore button on the device. To use RShell to return the Reader to its default conguration and leave CAP intact 1. At the RShell prompt, enter the following command:
> cong 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 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 red once. The Reader will boot up normally with the default conguration. version 5.14.1 53 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure 8.1 Default Restore button Warning: Pressing the Default Restore button for 10 seconds or more will cause a factory default restore to occur. The factory default restore removes the Readers custom application partition (CAP) if one exists. The Reader returns to the original, factory shipped state. It is important to avoid accidentally removing the CAP. There may be situations where CAP removal is necessary.

For more information see Radio Standards Specication RSS-102 Issue 5 dated April 2018 Installation Speedway is capable of up to +32.5 dBm conducted power on the housing RF connector and requires professional installation. Power When paired with an antenna, Speedway may radiate no more than 36dBm EIRP per FCC Part 15.247 regulations. The Speedway output power can be increased to provide the maximum allow-
able 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 + Cable Loss (in dBm)) where the composite antenna gain comprises the maximum linear antenna gain in dBi minus any cable loss between the Reader and antenna in dB. Approved antenna vendors, model numbers, and associated gain are listed in the next section. Note: The composite antenna gain comprises the maximum linear antenna gain in dBi minus any cable loss between the Reader and antenna in dB. Speedway may be operated with any antenna which has been certied by Impinj for FCC compli-
ance in conjunction with the reader. Alternatively, an antenna may be used in lieu of a certied antenna if it is of the same type with equal or lower gain. The reader may not be operated with any antenna that is neither certied nor of the same type/gain as that of a certied antenna.

Impinj implements the four-channel high power plan that doesnt use listen-before talk, the maximum continuous transmit time on a channel is four seconds, and the Reader enforces the 100 milliseconds o time before reusing the same channel. Table A.2: Frequency Plan for European Union Transmit Channel Number 4 7 10 13 Center Frequency (MHz) 865.7 866.3 866.9 867.5 9.2.2 Antenna Requirements Power EU and UAE regulations allow a maximum radiated power of 33 dBm ERP (Eective Radiated Power) for high power RFID systems. 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 version 5.14.1 61 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 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 in the next section. 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 Impinj Model Number IPJ-A0400-EU1, CSL CS-777-1 (Brickyard) with 7 foot integrated pigtail to RP-TNC male connector; 0 dBd composite gain MTI MT-242032/NLH (left-hand CP) or MT-242032/NRH (right-hand CP) with Ntype female connector (antennas available in IP54 or IP67 ratings); 1.85 dBd gain Sensormatic Electronics Corp.

Avertissement: Lutilisation de toute antenne ne gurent pas ci-dessus peut endommager le lecteur ou aecter les performances. 9.3 Operation in Other Global Regions For operation and use in the Rest of the World (ROW), there are three models, GX1, GX2, or GX3. Please contact Impinj to learn which countries and regions are currently certied. Installation version 5.14.1 62 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Because Speedway is capable of up to +32.5 dBm conducted power on the housing RF connector, professional installation is required. Operation in China, Indonesia, and Malaysia Regulations in these countries allow a maximum radiated power of 33 dBm ERP (Eective Radi-
ated Power) for high power RFID systems. 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 32.5dBm 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. 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 in the following section. Operation in Singapore and Vietnam Regulations in these countries allow a maximum radiated power of 500mw ERP within the specied frequency band without additional licenses. The user is required to apply for and obtain approval from the local regulatory agency for each use case where the radiated power is between 500mW to 2000mW ERP. In Singapore contact Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) to re-
quest a license for 500-2000mW operation. In Vietnam contact the Authority of Radio Frequency Management (ARFM) to request a license for 500-2000mW operation. The maximum Speedway output power for 2000mW ERP is determined by the following equation:
Maximum power setting (in dBm) = 33 Antenna Gain (in dBd) + Cable loss (in dB) 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. Operation in Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Taiwan, Thailand, Uruguay, and Latin America Regulations in Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Taiwan, Thailand, Uruguay, and Latin America allow maximum radiated power of 36 dBm EIRP. The Speedway output power may be increased to provide the maximum allowable EIRP subject to a maximum conducted power allowance as well. The maximum conducted power at the antenna connector can be no more than 30 dBm. 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:
version 5.14.1 63 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Maximum power setting (in dBm) = the Smaller of:
(36 Composite Antenna Gain (in dBm)) OR
(30 + Cable Loss (in dBm)), where the composite antenna gain comprises the maximum linear antenna gain in dBi minus any cable loss between the Reader and antenna in dB. Approved antenna vendors, model numbers, and associated gain are listed in the next section. 9.3.1 Approved Antennas Approved antennas for global operation are listed under the North America section above.

Table A.20: Frequency Plan for Japan LLRP Channel Number 1 2 3 4 Center Frequency (MHz) 916.8 918.0 919.2 920.4 Power Speedway may only be operated with Impinj-approved antennas and can radiate no more than 36 dBm EIRP per the Japan RFID regulations. The Speedway output power is limited per the Japan RFID regulations to 30dBm. Approved Antennas Contact your value-added distributer that you obtained your Speedway Reader for current list of approved antennas for use in Japan. 10.2 Operation in India 10.2.1 Frequency Plan For India, the Speedway Readers support the frequency plan listed in Table A.21 and are compliant with the Government of India Ministry of Communications & IT Department of Telecommunication rules. Table A.21: Frequency Plan for India Transmit Channel Number 1 Center Frequency (MHz) 865.1 version 5.14.1 74 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Transmit Channel Number Center Frequency (MHz) 4 7 10 865.7 866.3 866.9 10.2.2 Antenna Requirements Power Regulations in India allow maximum radiated power of 36 dBm EIRP. The Speedway output power may be increased to provide the maximum allowable EIRP. The expression for the maximum Reader power setting is:
Maximum power setting (in dBm) = 36 - Antenna Gain (in dBi) + Cable loss (in dB) Approved Antennas Contact your value-added distributer that you obtained your Speedway Reader from for current list of approved antennas for use in India. version 5.14.1 75 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 11 Appendix B: GPIO Details Speedway includes a multipurpose I/O port that contains an RS-232 serial port, four opto-isolated inputs, four opto-isolated outputs, and a +5V supply. You access these features through a DE15 connector mounted on the side of the Reader. The four 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 four 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 200mA. 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 DE-15 that can be connected to V+ and V-. Figure B.1 shows the detailed function of each pin of the GPIO DE-15 connector. Figure B.1 DE-15 GPIO Port Functions Note: As described above, both the input and output pins are opto-isolated. version 5.14.1 76 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide A GPIO box accessory (IPJ-A5000-000) is available from your authorized reseller or systems inte-
grator. Additional information on this product is available atwww.impinj.com. Warning: Do not attach a lightstack or other output device that requires Reader output to sink more than 200mA. 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. Avertissement: Ne pas xer dlightstack ou tout autre priphrique de sortie qui ncessite une sortie de la lecteur senfoncer de plus de 200mA.

*User-supplied voltage version 5.14.1 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide 12 Appendix C: Speedway xPortal Installation This section covers three unique aspects of using the xPortal product 1. RF Beam Pattern 2. Mounting the xPortal assembly 3. Attaching cables via Conduit 12.1 RF Beam Pattern The Speedway xPortal has antenna beams that point upwards and downwards. This increases the total area covered by the portal. The unit is intended to be mounted at waist height on the wall. The lower beam covers the tag populations near the oor, while the upper beam reads tags at the top of tall pallets. Tags located at waist height are likely to be read by both beams. version 5.14.1 79 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure C.1 xPortal Simulated RF Beam Patterns 12.2 Mounting the xPortal Referring to Figure C.3, the xPortal has many dierent mounting options:
1. Vesa mounts (http://www.vesa.org/) is a standard LCD screen / computer monitor mounting pattern. There are many o-the-shelf brackets, arms, and stands that use the hole pattern shown in the red square on the Figure C.2 . 8 total holes with M4 threads version 5.14.1 80 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Outer square pattern is 100mm on each side Inner square pattern is 75 mm on each side inch diameter bolt with 20 threads per inch (-20) internally threaded studs 2. Common hardware using -20 hardware. This hardware is typically employed in most T-slot extrusion designs (see http://www.8020.net/). Show in the Green circles on the gure. 3. Keyhole slots and through-holes. Holes are sized to allow clearance for -20 screws. These holes allow you to mount the unit ush to a wall. Shown in the Blue ovals on the gure. It is your responsibility to determine if the chosen screws can support the weight of the xPortal. Since the xPortal weighs approximately 6.5 pounds (3kg), it can be installed on drywall without needing to locate studs. The yellow circles on the gure highlight two knock-outs that can be removed if you wish to run cables into the unit directly from the wall. This provides a very clean installation, with no cables visible from the front. version 5.14.1 81 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure C.2 xPortal Mounting Hole Types and Locations 12.3 Conduit Attachment The round openings in the top and bottom of xPortal are designed so you can run metallic conduit directly to the unit. This allows Ethernet or power cables to be protected by standard EMT
(electrical metallic tubing). The holes are sized for inch trade size conduit connectors, or where metric conduit is used, 16mm trade size. Larger sizes of conduit (such as inch) can be used with the proper adapters. See example Figure 3 below. The following photos highlight the usage options. Figure C.3 inch conduit with a threaded nut ange connector version 5.14.1 82 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure C.4 Threaded inch conduit connector version 5.14.1 83 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure C.5 inch conduit with a snap in ange connector Figure C.6 Snap in inch conduit connector version 5.14.1 84 SpeedwayR Installation and Operations Guide Figure C.7 A squeeze connector for the larger inch conduit tubing size.
