CHAPTER 2 GETTING STARTED Introduction This chapter provides an overview of RFID technology and components, and describes the FX7500 reader and its features. RFID Technology Overview RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an advanced automatic identification (Auto ID) technology that uses radio frequency signals to identify tagged items. An RFID tag contains a circuit that can store data. This data may be pre-encoded or can be encoded in the field. The tags come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A typical RFID system consists of transponders (called tags), readers, and antennas. To read a tag the reader sends out radio frequency waves (using attached antennas). This RF field powers and charges the tags, which are tuned to receive radio waves. The tags use this power to modulate the carrier signal. The reader interprets the modulated signal and converts the data to a format for computer storage. The computer application translates the data into an understandable format. Tags RF Wave and Response Physical/Network Connection Reader and Antenna Host Computer Figure 2-1 RFID System Elements 2 - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide RFID Components Motorola RFID solutions offer low cost, long read range, and a high read rate. These features provide real time, end-to-end visibility of products and assets in the factory, distribution center, retail outlet, or other facility. A typical Motorola RFID system consists of the following components:

Silicon based RFID tags that attach to retail products, vehicles, trailers, containers, pallets, boxes, etc. Different antenna types to support applications such as dock door (area antennas) and conveyor. Readers power and communicate with the tags for data capture and provide host connectivity for data migration. Tags Tags contain embedded chips that store unique information. Available in various shapes and sizes, tags, often called transponders, receive and respond to data requests. Tags require power to send data, and are available with two power options:

Active Tags: typically powered by light-weight batteries and have limited life. Passive Tags: the RFID reader generates an RF field that powers the tag. Passive tags are much lighter, less expensive, and have a much longer life than active tags. Antennas Antennas transmit and receive radio frequency signals. A read point is the RF range of an antenna. Readers Readers communicate with the tags and can transfer the data to a host computer. Readers also provide features such as filtering and tag writing. FX7500 readers read Gen2 (dense reader mode) RFID tags. Getting Started 2 - 3 FX7500 RFID Readers The Motorola FX7500 RFID readers are intelligent, C1G2 UHF RFID readers with RFID read performance that provides real-time, seamless EPC-compliant tags processing. FX7500 RFID readers are designed for indoor inventory management and asset tracking applications in large scale deployments. The readers can host third-party customer-driven embedded applications. FX7500 RFID readers are based on Motorola's strategic FX7500 reader platform and are easy to use, deploy, and manage. The readers offer a variety of options for connecting to corporate networks using Ethernet or USB connections. Features include:

ISO 18000-6C standard (EPC Class 1 Gen 2) Dense reader mode capability Enterprise-class performance Application-specific setup for ease of installation Power over Ethernet (POE) to eliminate the need for a power drop SSL/SSH based security for secure data transmission Linux operating system Support for custom or third-party applications Feature set for event and tag management Support for NXP custom commands over LLRP Radio mode support via LLRP v1.0.1 Figure 2-2 FX RFID Reader 2 - 4 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide The reader provides a wide range of features that enable implementation of complete, high-performance, intelligent RFID solutions. FX7500 RFID reader configurations include either two or four monostatic antenna ports. The monostatic ports are used only with monostatic antennas. Versions and Kits FX7500 RFID readers are available in a 2-port or 4-port version, individually (reader and mounting bracket) or in a kit that includes the reader, mounting bracket, an antenna, and a power supply. For detailed kit information, see FX7500 Kits on page A-1. WARNING! For Mounting in Environmental Air Handling Space (EAHS): Do not install the Mounting Bracket, Antenna, Cables, PSU, and PoE (Power Injector) in the EAHS unless they are suitable for use in EAHS per UL 2043.

See Chapter 4, Administrator Console. The reader can also accept new firmware and configuration updates. Tag Management The Administrator Console provides the Read tags feature. See Read Tags on page 4-21. Use client applications based on Motorola EMDK (Enterprise Mobility Development Kit) such as Power Session, or LLRP

(EPCGlobal Low Level Reader Protocol) for additional tag management operations such as Write, Lock, Filtering, Event Management and Kill. Device Management Quick Backup and Recovery Use a web browser to back up and restore reader configuration by downloading the configuration XML file. Use the Administrator Console to download the file to the reader. SNMP Integration The reader can send real time notification of specific events and failures to an SNMP server. Logging The reader keeps a log of all system-related activities for security and troubleshooting. The log includes time-stamped system activities such as login attempts and hardware failures. Use the log to pinpoint problems, to facilitate quick resolution, and to identify administrators who may require additional training to prevent future problems. See System Log on page 4-42. Connection Options The FX7500 provides flexibility for connecting to networks through an Ethernet connection or the USB client port. The readers primary network interface is Ethernet. The Ethernet interface accesses each reader from anywhere on the network using the unique host name or IP address. Additionally, the USB client port supports (by default) a Network mode of operation. This enables a secondary network interface as a virtual adapter over USB. The interfaces co-exist and if the Ethernet connection fails, the application can switch to USB using a specific IP and can control the reader. See Communications Connections on page 3-5. To use the USB port for network connection, see Motorola USB RNDIS Driver on page 3-6. 2 - 8 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION AND COMMUNICATION Introduction This chapter includes the following FX7500 RFID reader installation and communication procedures:

See Connecting to the Reader on page 4-3. 7. Log in to the Administrator Console. See Administrator Console Login on page 4-6. USB Connection The USB client port supports (by default) a Network mode of operation. This enables a secondary network interface as a virtual adapter over USB. The interfaces co-exist and if the Ethernet connection fails, the application can switch to USB using a specific IP and can control the reader. To use the USB port for network connection, install the Motorola USB RNDIS Driver on the Windows XP PC or follow the instructions to install the Microsoft RNDIS driver for Windows 7 below. To connect the FX7500 to the host PC, insert a USB cable into the USB client port on the reader. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-5. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB port on the host PC. Motorola USB RNDIS Driver To use the USB port for network connection, install the Motorola USB Remote Network Device (RNDIS) driver and enable the driver on the FX7500. The Motorola RNDIS driver supports 32-bit version operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008. For Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit systems, it is recommend to use Microsoft RNDIS driver (see Microsoft RNDIS Driver for Windows 7 on page 3-7). To install the RNDIS driver on the host. 1. Download the installer file Motorola RNDIS.msi from http://www.motorolasolutions.com/support to the host PC. 2. Select this file on the host PC to install the host side drivers for using the USB Remote Network Device Interface on the FX7500. 3. Connect a USB cable between the host and the reader. The Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard screen appears. 4. Select the No, not this time radio button and click Next. 5. Select the default option Install Software Automatically (Recommended). 6. In the Hardware Installation pop-up window, select Continue Anyway. 7. Select Finish to complete the installation. This assigns the host an auto-configured IP address. The network is now ready to use and the readers IP address is fixed to 169.254.10.1. Installation and Communication 3 - 7 Microsoft RNDIS Driver for Windows 7 If using Windows 7:

1. After connecting a USB cable between the PC and reader, the RNDIS driver automatically installs. If it does not, right-click on Computer and select Manage. From System Tools, select Device Manager. Under Other Devices, look for an entry for RNDIS with an exclamation icon indicating that the driver was not installed. Figure 3-3 Computer Management Window 2. Right-click the icon and select Update Driver Software. Search for the device driver software by clicking on Browse my computer for driver software. 3. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. 3 - 8 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide 4. Select Network adapters. Figure 3-4 Selecting Device Type 5. Select Microsoft Corporation from the manufacturer list. 6. Under Network Adapter, select Remote NDIS Compatible Device, and click Next. After installation, the PC recognizes the reader as an RNDIS device. The PC obtains the IP address 169.254.10.102, and the reader is reachable at the IP address 169.254.10.1. Sample Implementation This implementation assumes that only one FX7500 reader is connected to a host PC via USB. This feature does not function with multiple readers connected to the host. Motorola recommends disabling any other network interface on the PC. Use an application that uses RFID3 APIs such as Power Session, or use an LLRP application to connect to the reader to read tags. 1. The primary RFID server connects to the FX7500 via the Ethernet interface. 2. The host PC connects to the FX7500 via the USB port. An application on the host PC monitors communication between the primary RFID server and FX7500 reader. 3. When the application on the host PC detects a communication failure between the primary RFID server and the reader, it connects to and controls the reader using the USB virtual interface. Installation and Communication 3 - 9 4. The FX7500 listens on the USB virtual interface on a fixed port (49152) as well as on the standard LLRP port (5084). To enable this, select the Allow LLRP Connection Override check box in Configure LLRP Settings console window. Figure 3-5 Communication / Configure LLRP Settings Window Only one LLRP session can be active on the reader, either through the primary Ethernet interface or through the virtual network over USB interface. If connection is active on one interface, a subsequent connection attempt on a second interface disconnects the first. The second connection attempt always prevails and creates a new session. GPIO Interface Connection This pluggable terminal block type allows connecting individual wires independently. A single connector accommodates both inputs and outputs. See Table A-5 on page A-6 for pinout information. GPIO signals allow some flexibility. Inputs are pulled up within the reader to +5 VDC and can be shorted to ground to pull them low. This allows driving them directly via simple relay or switch contacts. Alternatively, 5V logic can drive inputs. In the logic low state, the current sourced from the reader is approximately 3 mA, so standard gates in most logic families can drive them. Current flow in the high state is negligible. When the equipment uses an external +24 VDC power supply, a +24 VDC connection is provided. This output is not available when an external 24 VDC supply is not present. NOTE Do not connect the +24 VDC output directly to either general purpose input that tolerates voltages in excess of 5V but is designed to operate optimally within the range of 0 to +5 VDC. The general purpose outputs are open-drain drivers, pulled up to 5V. Each output can withstand voltages up to

+30 VDC but should not be driven negative. For best results use the +24 VDC supply as a source of external current and use the outputs directly to drive 24V relays, indicator lamps, etc., wired between the 24V supply 3 - 10 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide and individual general purpose outputs. Although each output can sink up to 1A, the maximum current that can be drawn from the internal 24V supply is 1A, so use an external power supply if the current requirement exceeds this. Note that the state of the general purpose outputs is inverted, e.g., driving a GPO line high at the processor pulls the corresponding output low. Powering the Reader CAUTION Connect the antennas before supplying power to the reader. WARNING! For Mounting in Environmental Air Handling Space (EAHS): Do not install Power Supplies and PoE (Power Injector) in the EAHS unless they are suitable for use in EAHS as per UL 2043. Powering the Reader via AC Power Supply The Motorola approved AC power supply connects to the power port on the FX7500 reader using a locking connector (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-5). The power supply is compatible with:

120V 60 Hz (North America) 230V 50 Hz (International excluding Japan) 100V 50/60 Hz (Japan). Insert the power supply barrel connector into the reader power port (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-5). Rotate the connector to lock it in place. 1. 2. Apply power to the power supply. The green Power LED stays on to indicate the reader is powered and ready. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. To power down the reader, unplug the power supply from its power source. The green Power LED turns off to indicate that the device is off and the system is not operational. Remove the connector from the reader power port. Powering the Reader via Power-over-Ethernet (POE) Connect the reader to either a standard POE or POE+ injectors. 1. Insert the POE Ethernet connector on the RJ45 Ethernet cable into the reader 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-5. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet network with POE capability. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. To power down the reader, remove the Ethernet cable from the network. The green Power LED turns off to indicate that the device is off and the system is not operational. Remove the connector from the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. Installation and Communication 3 - 11 LED Sequences System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence See Figure 2-5 on page 2-6 for LED locations. During system start-up:

1. All LEDs turn on for a few seconds when power is applied to the reader. 2. All LEDs turn off and the PWR LED turns amber. 3. The PWR LED turns green to indicate successful RFID application initialization. 4. When the sequence completes, the green PWR LED remains on and all other LEDs are off. PWR LED Sequence to Indicate IPv4 Status after Booting After the RFID application initializes:

1. The PWR LED turns green for 5 seconds to indicate success (following the sequence from System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence). 2. The reader checks the eth0 IPv4 address and indicates the IPv4 status using the LEDs:

If the reader has a DHCP address, the PWR LED blinks green for 3 seconds. If the reader has static IP address, the PWR LED blinks amber 3 seconds. If the reader has an IP address from zero-configuration networking algorithm, the PWR LED blinks red for 3 seconds. If the reader doesn't have valid IP, the PWR LED blinks amber and green using a 90-second timeout to indicate that it is waiting to acquire an IP address. If it obtains a valid IP within the timeout period, the reader indicates the status as described above. If the timeout expires before the reader obtains an IP, the PWR LED stops blinking. 3. The PWR LED again turns solid green. Reset to Factory Defaults LED Sequence Holding the reset button for 8 seconds resets the reader to the factory default configuration. 1. All LEDs turn on as usual when you press and hold the reset button. 2. The PWR LED blinks amber when the reset button is held. 3. The PWR LED blinks green fast 5 times to indicate that the reader detects a reset operation. 4. Release the reset button to reset the reader to factory defaults. LED Sequence for Software Update Status 1. The PWR LED blinks red during the software update process. 2. After reset, the STAT LED blinks red if the radio module requires a firmware update. 3 - 12 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Reading Tags After the reader powers up, test the reader. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. 1. Enable tag reading using the web-based Administrator Console (see Read Tags on page 4-21) or control the reader through a real-time application such as Power Session. 2. Present a tag so it is facing the antenna and slowly approach the antenna until the activity LED turns green, indicating that the reader read the tag. See Figure 2-5 on page 2-6. The distance between the tag and the antenna is the approximate read range. NOTE For optimal read results, do not hold the tag at an angle or wave the tag, as this can cause the read distance to vary.

CHAPTER 4 ADMINISTRATOR CONSOLE Introduction NOTE The screens and windows in this chapter may differ from actual screens and windows. The applications described may not be available on (or applicable to) all devices. Procedures are not device-specific and are intended to provide a functional overview. This chapter describes the FX7500 Reader Administrator Console functions and procedures. Access the Administrator Console using a web browser from a host computer, and use this to manage and configure the readers. The Administrator Console main window and support windows have four areas, each containing unique information about the reader. Selection Menu - selects the function for the primary information window. Primary Information Window - provides the primary function information. Product Identification Header - identifies the product. USB Port Status - provides details on the USB device connected to the USB host port. Hover the mouse pointer over the blue link, available only when a device is detected. Help Information Window:

provides detailed information to support the primary information window includes a scroll bar to scroll through information includes a toggle button to turn on/off the help information window 4 - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Selection Menu Primary Information Window Product Identification Header Help Information Window Toggle On/Off Button Help Information Window Figure 4-1 Reader Administrator Console Main Menu Profiles Use profiles for multiple reader deployments to save configuration time, as only a few APIs are needed to completely configure a reader. See Reader Profiles on page 4-37. Resetting the Reader To reset the reader, press and hold the reset button for not more than 2 seconds. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-5 for the reset button location. The reader reboots but retains the user ID and password. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. NOTE Hard rebooting the reader (disconnecting power) is not recommended as this discards all the tag events and system log information. Administrator Console 4 - 3 Connecting to the Reader NOTE This section describes procedures in a Windows environment. To use the Administrator Console to manage the reader, first power up the reader and connect it to an accessible network. See Powering the Reader on page 3-10 and Ethernet Connection on page 3-5. The green power LED indicates that the reader is ready. If the green power LED is not lit, reset the reader. See Resetting the Reader on page 4-2. Connect to the reader in one of two ways:

1. Connecting via Host Name on page 4-3 2. Connecting via IP Address on page 4-4 There are three ways to assign an IP address to the reader:

1. Using DHCP on the network 2. Using Zero-Configuration Networking when DHCP Server is Not Available on page 4-5 3. Statically assigning an IP Any method of assigning the IP supports connection using host name or IP address. Alternatively, connect the reader directly to a local computer using zero-configuration networking. See Using Zero-Configuration Networking when DHCP Server is Not Available on page 4-5. NOTE When using zero-configuration networking, the FX7500 reader cannot communicate with computers on different subnets, or with computers that do not use automatic private IP addressing. Connecting via Host Name To connect to the reader using the host name:

CAUTION Reader host name is not guaranteed to work at all times. Its recommended use is only in networks where the probability for IP collisions is low, such as a network in which a DNS server is configured to work together with DHCP to register host names. Host name usage is not recommended in a network where there is no strict control to prevent IP collisions, such as informal networks that use IP static configuration without strict control. 1. Open a browser. Recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24. 2. Enter the host name provided on the reader label in the browser (e.g., http://fx7500cd3b0d) and press Enter. The Console Login window appears and the reader is ready. 4 - 4 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide 3. Proceed to Administrator Console Login on page 4-6 to log in to the reader. NOTE Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the network can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register host names through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in both the PC and the reader, although it is not guaranteed that the host name will work all the time. Use the host name printed on the reader label, or construct it using the reader MAC address on the reader back label. The host name is a string with prefix FX7500, followed by the last three MAC address octets. For example, for a MAC address of 00:15:70:CD:3B:0D, use the prefix FX7500, followed by the last three MAC address octets (CD, 3B, and 0D), for the host name FX7500CD3B0D. Type http://FX7500CD3B0D in the browser address bar to access the reader. For a network that does not support host name registration and lookup, use the Power Session auto discovery feature to obtain the IP address, and use the IP address connect method. Auto Discovery The FX7500 can automatically belong to a network. The reader implements WS-Discovery conforming to RFID Reader Management Profile (RDMP) specification in ISO 24791-3. RDMP is based on an extension for Device Profile for Web Services (DPWS). The discovery mechanism is limited to subnets and does not work across subnets. The Power Session application supports this feature, and it lists the discovered reader using reader hostnames. Because this feature is based on WS-Discovery, the readers can also be discovered in Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers by clicking on the Network icon in a file browser. Connecting via IP Address To use the IP address to connect to the reader:

1. Open a browser. Recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24. 2. Enter the IP address in the browser (e.g., http://157.235.88.99) and press Enter. The Console Login window appears and the reader is ready. 3. Proceed to Administrator Console Login on page 4-6 to login to the reader. Administrator Console 4 - 5 Using Zero-Configuration Networking when DHCP Server is Not Available If a DHCP server is not available, the FX7500 reader can use zero-configuration networking to automatically provide a unique network IP address. The reader can then use TCP/IP to communicate with other computers also using a zero-configuration networking-generated IP address. NOTE When using zero-configuration networking, the FX7500 reader cannot communicate with computers on different subnets, or that do not use automatic private IP addressing. Automatic private IP addressing is enabled by default. The zero-configuration networking procedure is recommended when the reader is connected directly to a PC. It reduces the overhead needed to configure the reader to a static IP address. When zero-configuration networking executes after failing to detect a DHCP server, the reader automatically assigns an IPv4 IP address to the Ethernet interface in the form 169.254.xxx.xxx. This IP address is predictable because it uses the last 2 bytes of the MAC address, usually represented as HEX values, to complete the IPv4 address. These values are converted to decimal format (e.g., if the MAC address ends with 55:9A, the IPv4 address assigned by the zero-configuration algorithm is 169.254.85.148. Windows-based computers support APIPA [or zero-configuration networking???] by default when DHCP fails. To enable APIPA for a Windows PC, visit http://support.microsoft.com/ and search for APIPA. Obtaining the IP Address via Command Prompt The Administrator Console provides the reader IP address. See Figure 4-1 on page 4-2. To obtain the reader IP address without logging into the reader, open a command window and ping the reader host name. See Connecting via Host Name on page 4-3. Figure 4-2 IP Ping Window 4 - 6 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Administrator Console Login The reader has a unique first time startup sequence that requires setting a unique user ID and password and as well as the region (regulatory requirement). NOTE The recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24. These browsers were tested and validated to work properly. Other browsers may or may not work properly. First Time / Start-Up Login When starting the reader for the first time, set a unique user ID and password and set the region of reader operation. Setting the reader to a different region is illegal. Logging In with Default User ID and Password 1. Upon connecting to the reader with a web browser, the User Login window appears.

APPENDIX C FTP FIRMWARE UPGRADE Introduction This appendix provides reader firmware update information on using the web-based Administrator Console. The following methods are available to update the firmware on the FX7500 reader. Update using a USB drive. File-based update that allows uploading the firmware files from the PC (or a network location) to the reader and running the update. FTP / FTPS / SCP server-based update. Use this procedure to update the following software components:

uboot OS Reader Server Application (includes Radio API and Radio firmware) Prerequisites The following items are required to perform the update:

Reader with power supply or POE connection Laptop (or other host computer) An Ethernet cable An FTP server Current firmware file examples:

OSUpdate.elf response.txt u-boot_X.X.X.X.bin (uBoot, X.X.X.X is a filename version) uImage_ X.X.X.X (OS, X.X.X.X is a filename variable) C - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide rootfs_ X.X.X.X.jffs2 (Root FileSystem, X.X.X.X is a filename variable) platform_ X.X.X.X.tar.gz (Platform partition, X.X.X.X is a filename variable) Refer to the release notes to determine which files were updated; not all of the files are updated in every release. Failsafe Update FX7500 provides true failsafe firmware update. Each partition (such as OS and platform) has an active and backup partition. The firmware update process always writes the new images to the backup partition. This ensures that any power or network outages in the middle of firmware update does not prevent the reader from being operational. In the case of a firmware update failure, the power LED on the reader lights red. Update Phases The firmware update takes place in three phases:

Phase 1 - The reader application retrieves the response.txt and OSUpdate.elf files from the ftp server. Phase 2 - The reader application shuts down and the OSUpdate starts. The files referenced in the response.txt file are retrieved from the FTP server and written to flash. Phase 3 - The reader resets after all partitions update successfully. It may also update the RFID firmware if it detects a different version in the platform partition. A typical entry in the Response.txt is:

;platform partition

-t5 -fplatform_1.1.15.0.tar.gz -s8004561 -u8130879 NOTE The Application Server, Radio API, and Radio firmware code all reside in the Platform partition. The -t parameter is the file type, -f is the name of the file, and -s the size. Ensure the file size is correct.

APPENDIX F CONNECTING WI-FI AND BLUETOOTH DONGLES Introduction This appendix describes how to connect to a wireless network using a USB Wi-Fi dongle on the FX7500, and how to connect to a peer device over Bluetooth using a USB Bluetooth dongle. Connecting to a Wireless Network Using a Wi-Fi Dongle To connect to a wireless network using a USB Wi-Fi dongle on the FX7500:

1. Plug the supported wireless dongle into the USB host port on the FX7500. Supported dongles are:

Wi-Fi over USB adapters with Realtek chipset RTL 8187 The following devices were tested:

Alfa AWUS036H, visit http://www.alfa.com.tw/in/front/bin/ptlist.phtml?Category=10541 CCrane Versa Wifi USB Adapter II, visit http://www.ccrane.com/antennas/wifi-antennas/versa-wifi-usb-adapter-II.aspx Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 GPIO 24 VDC Figure F-1 USB Host Port Location for Dongle USB Host Port F - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide 2. To confirm that the Wi-Fi dongle is detected properly, log in to the reader Administrator Console. On the Home page ensure the USB Port Status displays Device Connected. Hover the mouse pointer over this link to display the WiFi dongle information shown in Figure F-2. Figure F-2 Wi-Fi Dongle Connected 3. Select Communication > Wireless. Figure F-3 Wireless Settings The WiFi dongle can connect to the wireless network in one of two ways:

Manually entering the ESSID (if known). Scanning the current list of APs and choosing the correct one to connect to. Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles F - 3 4. Once the APs are scanned, enter the appropriate passkey and enable Connect Automatically (if required to connect to the AP automatically if the connection is lost). Figure F-4 Entering Connect Information 5. Select Connect. When the connection to the AP succeeds, an IP is assigned and appears in the IP Address field. Figure F-5 Assigned IP Address The reader is now accessible using the wireless IP shown in the IP Address field (157.235.207.24 in this case). The WiFi interface supports dynamic addressing mechanisms for both IPV4 and IPv6. There is no provision to set a static IP address. For wireless IP address details, select Communication > Wi-Fi tab. F - 4 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Figure F-6 Wi-Fi Tab - IPV4 The reader can also be accessed via Wi-Fi using an IPV6 address if supported by the network to which the API is connected. Figure F-7 Wi-Fi Tab - IPV6 Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles F - 5 Connecting to a Peer Device over Bluetooth Using a Bluetooth Dongle To connect to a peer device over Bluetooth using a USB Bluetooth dongle on the FX7500:

1. Plug the supported Bluetooth dongle into the USB host port on the FX7500. The following Bluetooth dongles are supported on the FX7500:

Asus Mini Bluetooth Dongle USB-BT211. MediaLink Bluetooth Dongle MUA-BA3. Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 GPIO 24 VDC Figure F-8 USB Host Port Location for Dongle USB Host Port 2. To confirm that the Bluetooth dongle is detected properly, log in to the reader Administrator Console. On the Home page ensure the USB Port Status displays Device Connected. Hover the mouse pointer over this link to display the Bluetooth dongle information. Figure F-9 Bluetooth Dongle Connected 3. Select Communication > Bluetooth. F - 6 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide 4. Change the Discoverable and Pairable properties to On. Figure F-10 Changing Discoverable and Pairable Properties 5. Optionally select Use Passkey and enter a passkey to validate the Bluetooth connection. The default passkey for the FX7500 is 0000. 6. Discover the reader from a Bluetooth-enabled device (such as a laptop). Use the host name to identify the reader among the discovered devices (e.g., FX7500060C17). 7. After a successful connection, right-click the reader icon (e.g., FX7500060C17) in the list of Bluetooth devices and select Connect using > Ad hoc network. This establishes the network connection for later. Figure F-11 Connecting to the Reader Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles F - 7 8. The IP address assigned to the Bluetooth interface is 192.168.XX.XX. The last 2 octets are the last 2 octets of the Bluetooth MAC address (found in the Properties window on the PC once the Bluetooth connection is established). Also find this in the Communication > Bluetooth page. Both IPV4 and IPV6 based IP address are supported for adhoc Bluetooth connection between the reader and the client. Figure F-12 Communication Bluetooth Tab 9. Open the web page or sample application to connect to the Bluetooth IP (192.168.67.21 in Figure F-12) and read tags.

Draft 2 CHAPTER 2 GETTING STARTED Introduction This chapter provides an overview of RFID technology and components, and describes the FX7500 reader and its features. RFID Technology Overview RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an advanced automatic identification (Auto ID) technology that uses radio frequency signals to identify tagged items. An RFID tag contains a circuit that can store data. This data may be pre-encoded or can be encoded in the field. The tags come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A typical RFID system consists of transponders (called tags), readers, and antennas. To read a tag the reader sends out radio frequency waves (using attached antennas). This RF field powers and charges the tags, which are tuned to receive radio waves. The tags use this power to modulate the carrier signal. The reader interprets the modulated signal and converts the data to a format for computer storage. The computer application translates the data into an understandable format. Tags RF Wave and Response Physical/Network Connection Reader and Antenna Host Computer Figure 2-1 RFID System Elements Draft 2 2 - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide RFID Components Zebra RFID offer low cost, long read range, and a high read rate. These features provide real time, end-to-end visibility of products and assets in the factory, distribution center, retail outlet, or other facility. A typical Zebra RFID system consists of the following components:

Silicon based RFID tags that attach to retail products, vehicles, trailers, containers, pallets, boxes, etc. Different antenna types to support applications such as dock door (area antennas) and conveyor. Readers power and communicate with the tags for data capture and provide host connectivity for data migration. Tags Tags contain embedded chips that store unique information. Available in various shapes and sizes, tags, often called transponders, receive and respond to data requests. Tags require power to send data, and are available with two power options:

Active Tags: typically powered by light-weight batteries and have limited life. Passive Tags: the RFID reader generates an RF field that powers the tag. Passive tags are much lighter, less expensive, and have a much longer life than active tags. Antennas Antennas transmit and receive radio frequency signals. A read point is the RF range of an antenna. Readers Readers communicate with the tags and can transfer the data to a host computer. Readers also provide features such as filtering and tag writing. FX7500 readers read Gen2 (dense reader mode) RFID tags. Draft 2 Getting Started 2 - 3 FX7500 RFID Readers The Zebra FX7500 RFID readers are intelligent, C1G2 UHF RFID readers with RFID read performance that provides real-time, seamless EPC-compliant tags processing.

See Chapter 4, Administrator Console. The reader can also accept new firmware and configuration updates. Tag Management The Administrator Console provides the Read tags feature. See Read Tags on page 4-30. Use client applications based on Zebra EMDK (Enterprise Mobility Development Kit) such as Power Session, or LLRP

(EPCGlobal Low Level Reader Protocol) for additional tag management operations such as Write, Lock, Filtering, Event Management and Kill. Device Management Quick Backup and Recovery Use a web browser to back up and restore reader configuration by downloading the configuration XML file. Use the Administrator Console to download the file to the reader. SNMP Integration The reader can send real time notification of specific events and failures to an SNMP server. Logging The reader keeps a log of all system-related activities for security and troubleshooting. The log includes time-stamped system activities such as login attempts and hardware failures. Use the log to pinpoint problems, to facilitate quick resolution, and to identify administrators who may require additional training to prevent future problems. See System Log on page 4-46. Connection Options The FX7500 provides flexibility for connecting to networks through an Ethernet connection or the USB client port. The readers primary network interface is Ethernet. The Ethernet interface accesses each reader from anywhere on the network using the unique host name or IP address. Additionally, the USB client port supports (by default) a Network mode of operation. This enables a secondary network interface as a virtual adapter over USB. The interfaces co-exist and if the Ethernet connection fails, the application can switch to USB using a specific IP and can control the reader. See Communications Connections on page 3-5. To use the USB port for network connection, see Wireless Intrusion Protection Systeml Wireless IPS.

Insert the POE Ethernet connector on the RJ45 Ethernet cable into the reader 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-4. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet network with POE capability. 3. Verify that the reader booted properly and is operational. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. 4. On a networked computer, open an internet browser and connect to the reader. See Connecting to the Reader on page 4-3. 5. Log in to the Administrator Console. See Administrator Console Login on page 4-6. CAUTION Do not connect to PoE networks outside the building. Draft 2 3 - 6 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide To connect to a network that is not POE capable:

1. Terminate the Ethernet cable according to Table A-2 on page A-4. 2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the FX7500 reader 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-4. 3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a POE power injector. 4. Connect a patch cable from the POE power injector to the host system LAN port. 5. Verify that the unit booted properly and is operational. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. 6. On a networked computer, open an internet browser and connect to the reader. See Connecting to the Reader on page 4-3. 7. Log in to the Administrator Console. See Administrator Console Login on page 4-6. USB Connection The USB client port supports (by default) a Network mode of operation. This enables a secondary network interface as a virtual adapter over USB. The interfaces co-exist and if the Ethernet connection fails, the application can switch to USB using a specific IP and can control the reader. To use the USB port for network connection, install the USB RNDIS Driver on the Windows XP PC or follow the instructions to install the Microsoft RNDIS driver for Windows 7 below. To connect the FX7500 to the host PC, insert a USB cable into the USB client port on the reader. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-4. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB port on the host PC. Zebra USB RNDIS Driver To use the USB port for network connection, install the Zebra USB Remote Network Device (RNDIS) driver and enable the driver on the FX7500. The Zebra RNDIS driver supports 32-bit version operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008. For Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit systems, it is recommend to use Microsoft RNDIS driver (see Microsoft RNDIS Driver for Windows 7 on page 3-7). To install the RNDIS driver on the host. 1. Download the installer file Zebra RNDIS.msi from http://www.zebra.com/support to the host PC. 2. Select this file on the host PC to install the host side drivers for using the USB Remote Network Device Interface on the FX7500. 3. Connect a USB cable between the host and the reader. The Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard screen appears. 4. Select the No, not this time radio button and click Next. 5. Select the default option Install Software Automatically (Recommended). 6. In the Hardware Installation pop-up window, select Continue Anyway. 7. Select Finish to complete the installation. This assigns the host an auto-configured IP address. The network is now ready to use and the readers IP address is fixed to 169.254.10.1. Draft 2 Installation and Communication 3 - 7 Microsoft RNDIS Driver for Windows 7 If using Windows 7:

1. After connecting a USB cable between the PC and reader, the RNDIS driver automatically installs. If it does not, right-click on Computer and select Manage. From System Tools, select Device Manager. Under Other Devices, look for an entry for RNDIS with an exclamation icon indicating that the driver was not installed. Figure 3-3 Computer Management Window 2. Right-click the icon and select Update Driver Software. Search for the device driver software by clicking on Browse my computer for driver software. 3. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Draft 2 3 - 8 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide 4. Select Network adapters. Figure 3-4 Selecting Device Type 5. Select Microsoft Corporation from the manufacturer list. 6. Under Network Adapter, select Remote NDIS Compatible Device, and click Next. After installation, the PC recognizes the reader as an RNDIS device. The PC obtains the IP address 169.254.10.102, and the reader is reachable at the IP address 169.254.10.1. Sample Implementation This implementation assumes that only one FX7500 reader is connected to a host PC via USB. This feature does not function with multiple readers connected to the host. Zebra recommends disabling any other network interface on the PC. Use an application that uses RFID3 APIs such as Power Session, or use an LLRP application to connect to the reader to read tags. 1. The primary RFID server connects to the FX7500 via the Ethernet interface. 2. The host PC connects to the FX7500 via the USB port. An application on the host PC monitors communication between the primary RFID server and FX7500 reader. 3. When the application on the host PC detects a communication failure between the primary RFID server and the reader, it connects to and controls the reader using the USB virtual interface. Draft 2 Installation and Communication 3 - 9 4. The FX7500 listens on the USB virtual interface on a fixed port (49152) as well as on the standard LLRP port (5084). To enable this, select the Allow LLRP Connection Override check box in Configure LLRP Settings console window. Figure 3-5 Communication / Configure LLRP Settings Window Only one LLRP session can be active on the reader, either through the primary Ethernet interface or through the virtual network over USB interface. If a connection is active on one interface, a subsequent connection attempt on a second interface disconnects the first. The second connection attempt always prevails and creates a new session. GPIO Interface Connection This pluggable terminal block type allows connecting individual wires independently. A single connector accommodates both inputs and outputs. See Table A-5 on page A-6 for pinout information. GPIO signals allow some flexibility. Inputs are pulled up within the reader to +5 VDC and can be shorted to ground to pull them low. This allows driving them directly via simple relay or switch contacts. Alternatively, 5V logic can drive inputs. In the logic low state, the current sourced from the reader is approximately 3 mA, so standard gates in most logic families can drive them. Current flow in the high state is negligible. When the equipment uses an external +24 VDC power supply, a +24 VDC connection is provided. This output is not available when an external 24 VDC supply is not present. NOTE Do not connect the +24 VDC output directly to either general purpose input that tolerates voltages in excess of 5V but is designed to operate optimally within the range of 0 to +5 VDC. The general purpose outputs are open-drain drivers, pulled up to 5V. Each output can withstand voltages up to

+30 VDC but should not be driven negative. For best results use the +24 VDC supply as a source of external current and use the outputs directly to drive 24V relays, indicator lamps, etc., wired between the 24V supply and individual general purpose outputs. Although each output can sink up to 1A, the maximum current that can be drawn from the internal 24V supply is 1A, so use an external power supply if the current requirement exceeds this. Note that the state of the general purpose outputs is inverted, e.g., driving a GPO line high at the processor pulls the corresponding output low. Draft 2 3 - 10 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Powering the Reader CAUTION Connect the antennas before supplying power to the reader. WARNING! For Mounting in Environmental Air Handling Space (EAHS): Do not install Power Supplies and PoE (Power Injector) in the EAHS unless they are suitable for use in EAHS as per UL 2043. Powering the Reader via AC Power Supply The approved AC power supply connects to the power port on the FX7500 reader using a locking connector

(see Figure 2-4 on page 2-4). The power supply is compatible with:

120V 60 Hz (North America) 230V 50 Hz (International excluding Japan) 100V 50/60 Hz (Japan). Insert the power supply barrel connector into the reader power port (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-4). Rotate the connector to lock it in place. 1. 2. Apply power to the power supply. The green Power LED stays on to indicate the reader is powered and ready. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. To power down the reader, unplug the power supply from its power source. The green Power LED turns off to indicate that the device is off and the system is not operational. Remove the connector from the reader power port. Powering the Reader via Power-over-Ethernet (POE) Connect the reader to either a standard POE or POE+ injectors. 1. Insert the POE Ethernet connector on the RJ45 Ethernet cable into the reader 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-4. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet network with POE capability. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. To power down the reader, remove the Ethernet cable from the network. The green Power LED turns off to indicate that the device is off and the system is not operational. Remove the connector from the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. Draft 2 Installation and Communication 3 - 11 LED Sequences System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence See Figure 2-5 on page 2-5 for LED locations. During system start-up:

1. All LEDs turn on for a few seconds when power is applied to the reader. 2. All LEDs turn off and the PWR LED turns amber. 3. The PWR LED turns green to indicate successful RFID application initialization. 4. When the sequence completes, the green PWR LED remains on and all other LEDs are off. PWR LED Sequence to Indicate IPv4 Status after Booting After the RFID application initializes:

1. The PWR LED turns green for 5 seconds to indicate success (following the sequence from System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence). 2. The reader checks the eth0 IPv4 address and indicates the IPv4 status using the LEDs:

If the reader has a DHCP address, the PWR LED blinks green for 3 seconds. If the reader has static IP address, the PWR LED blinks amber 3 seconds. If the reader has an IP address from zero-configuration networking algorithm, the PWR LED blinks red for 3 seconds. If the reader doesn't have valid IP, the PWR LED blinks amber and green using a 90-second timeout to indicate that it is waiting to acquire an IP address. If it obtains a valid IP within the timeout period, the reader indicates the status as described above. If the timeout expires before the reader obtains an IP, the PWR LED stops blinking. 3. The PWR LED again turns solid green. Reset to Factory Defaults LED Sequence Holding the reset button for 8 seconds resets the reader to the factory default configuration. 1. All LEDs turn on as usual when you press and hold the reset button. 2. The PWR LED blinks amber when the reset button is held. 3. The PWR LED blinks green fast 5 times to indicate that the reader detects a reset operation. 4. Release the reset button to reset the reader to factory defaults. LED Sequence for Software Update Status 1. The PWR LED blinks red during the software update process. 2. After reset, the STAT LED blinks red if the radio module requires a firmware update. Draft 2 3 - 12 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Reading Tags After the reader powers up, test the reader. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. 1. Enable tag reading using the web-based Administrator Console (see Read Tags on page 4-30) or control the reader through a real-time application such as Power Session. 2. Present a tag so it is facing the antenna and slowly approach the antenna until the activity LED turns green, indicating that the reader read the tag. See Figure 2-5 on page 2-5. The distance between the tag and the antenna is the approximate read range. NOTE For optimal read results, do not hold the tag at an angle or wave the tag, as this can cause the read distance to vary. Draft 2 CHAPTER 4 ADMINISTRATOR CONSOLE Introduction NOTE The screens and windows in this chapter may differ from actual screens and windows. The applications described may not be available on (or applicable to) all devices. Procedures are not device-specific and are intended to provide a functional overview. This chapter describes the FX7500 Reader Administrator Console functions and procedures. Access the Administrator Console using a web browser from a host computer, and use this to manage and configure the readers. The Administrator Console main window and support windows have four areas, each containing unique information about the reader. Selection Menu - selects the function for the primary information window. Primary Information Window - provides the primary function information. Product Identification Header - identifies the product. USB Port Status - provides details on the USB device connected to the USB host port. Hover the mouse pointer over the blue link, available only when a device is detected. Help Information Window:

provides detailed information to support the primary information window includes a scroll bar to scroll through information includes a toggle button to turn on/off the help information window Draft 2 4 - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Selection Menu Primary Information Window Product Identification Header Help Information Window Toggle On/Off Button Help Information Window Figure 4-1 Reader Administrator Console Main Menu Profiles Use profiles for multiple reader deployments to save configuration time, as only a few APIs are needed to completely configure a reader. See Reader Profiles on page 4-43. Resetting the Reader To reset the reader, press and hold the reset button for not more than 2 seconds. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-4 for the reset button location. The reader reboots but retains the user ID and password. See System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence on page 3-11. NOTE Hard rebooting the reader (disconnecting power) is not recommended as this discards all the tag events and system log information. Draft 2 Administrator Console 4 - 3 Connecting to the Reader NOTE This section describes procedures in a Windows environment. To use the Administrator Console to manage the reader, first power up the reader and connect it to an accessible network. See Powering the Reader on page 3-10 and Ethernet Connection on page 3-5. The green power LED indicates that the reader is ready. If the green power LED is not lit, reset the reader. See Resetting the Reader on page 4-2. Connect to the reader in one of two ways:

1. Connecting via Host Name on page 4-3 2. Connecting via IP Address on page 4-4 There are three ways to assign an IP address to the reader:

1. Using DHCP on the network 2. Using Zero-Configuration Networking when DHCP Server is Not Available on page 4-5 3. Statically assigning an IP Any method of assigning the IP supports connection using host name or IP address. Alternatively, connect the reader directly to a local computer using zero-configuration networking. See Using Zero-Configuration Networking when DHCP Server is Not Available on page 4-5. NOTE When using zero-configuration networking, the FX7500 reader cannot communicate with computers on different subnets, or with computers that do not use automatic private IP addressing. Connecting via Host Name To connect to the reader using the host name:

CAUTION Reader host name is not guaranteed to work at all times. Its recommended use is only in networks where the probability for IP collisions is low, such as a network in which a DNS server is configured to work together with DHCP to register host names. Host name usage is not recommended in a network where there is no strict control to prevent IP collisions, such as informal networks that use IP static configuration without strict control. 1. Open a browser. Recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24. 2. Enter the host name provided on the reader label in the browser (e.g., http://fx7500cd3b0d) and press Enter. The Console Login window appears and the reader is ready. Draft 2 4 - 4 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide 3. Proceed to Administrator Console Login on page 4-6 to log in to the reader. NOTE Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the network can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register host names through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in both the PC and the reader, although it is not guaranteed that the host name will work all the time. Use the host name printed on the reader label, or construct it using the reader MAC address on the reader back label. The host name is a string with prefix FX7500, followed by the last three MAC address octets. For example, for a MAC address of 00:15:70:CD:3B:0D, use the prefix FX7500, followed by the last three MAC address octets (CD, 3B, and 0D), for the host name FX7500CD3B0D. Type http://FX7500CD3B0D in the browser address bar to access the reader. For a network that does not support host name registration and lookup, use the Power Session auto discovery feature to obtain the IP address, and use the IP address connect method. Auto Discovery The FX7500 can automatically belong to a network. The reader implements WS-Discovery conforming to RFID Reader Management Profile (RDMP) specification in ISO 24791-3. RDMP is based on an extension for Device Profile for Web Services (DPWS). The discovery mechanism is limited to subnets and does not work across subnets. The Power Session application supports this feature, and it lists the discovered reader using reader hostnames. Because this feature is based on WS-Discovery, the readers can also be discovered in Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers by clicking on the Network icon in a file browser. Connecting via IP Address To use the IP address to connect to the reader:

1. Open a browser. Recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24. 2. Enter the IP address in the browser (e.g., http://157.235.88.99) and press Enter. The Console Login window appears and the reader is ready. 3. Proceed to Administrator Console Login on page 4-6 to login to the reader. Draft 2 Administrator Console 4 - 5 Using Zero-Configuration Networking when DHCP Server is Not Available If a DHCP server is not available, the FX7500 reader can use zero-configuration networking to automatically provide a unique network IP address. The reader can then use TCP/IP to communicate with other computers also using a zero-configuration networking-generated IP address. NOTE When using zero-configuration networking, the FX7500 reader cannot communicate with computers on different subnets, or that do not use automatic private IP addressing. Automatic private IP addressing is enabled by default. The zero-configuration networking procedure is recommended when the reader is connected directly to a PC. It reduces the overhead needed to configure the reader to a static IP address. When zero-configuration networking executes after failing to detect a DHCP server, the reader automatically assigns an IPv4 IP address to the Ethernet interface in the form 169.254.xxx.xxx. This IP address is predictable because it uses the last 2 bytes of the MAC address, usually represented as HEX values, to complete the IPv4 address. These values are converted to decimal format (e.g., if the MAC address ends with 55:9A, the IPv4 address assigned by the zero-configuration algorithm is 169.254.85.148. Windows-based computers support APIPA/zero-configuration networking by default when DHCP fails. To enable APIPA for a Windows PC, visit http://support.microsoft.com/ and search for APIPA. Obtaining the IP Address via Command Prompt The Administrator Console provides the reader IP address. See Figure 4-1 on page 4-2. To obtain the reader IP address without logging into the reader, open a command window and ping the reader host name. See Connecting via Host Name on page 4-3. Figure 4-2 IP Ping Window Draft 2 4 - 6 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Administrator Console Login The reader has a unique first time startup sequence that requires setting a unique user ID and password and as well as the region (regulatory requirement). NOTE The recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24. These browsers were tested and validated to work properly. Other browsers may or may not work properly. First Time / Start-Up Login When starting the reader for the first time, set a unique user ID and password and set the region of reader operation. Setting the reader to a different region is illegal. Logging In with Default User ID and Password 1. Upon connecting to the reader with a web browser, the User Login window appears.

Accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Contact - Enter the name of the reader manager contact. Accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters. GPI Debounce Time - Delays input events up to this time, and delivers these events only if the PIN states remains on the same level. Operation Status - Displays the current operation status of the reader (Enabled, Disabled, or Unknown). Antenna Check - Controls the antenna sensing feature on the reader. Disabled indicates that the reader does not attempt to check if an antenna is connected on the ports. When Enabled, the reader monitors the presence of an antenna on the port and only transmits RF if an antenna is connected. Idle Mode Timeout (secs) - Turns off the radio when the reader is idle for the specified time interval. A value of 0 disables this feature. Enabling this also turns off the antenna check feature when idle mode is entered after time out. Radio Power State - Displays the current state (On or Off) of the radio. The radio can be turned off if the Idle Mode Timeout is set to a non-zero value and the radio is not performing RF operations for a time period greater than the time specified by this timeout. The radio turns on automatically when RF operation starts. Draft 2 Administrator Console 4 - 17 Power Negotiation - When the Power Negotiation option is set as enabled, and committed, the FX7500 reader starts power negotiation. Power negotiation occurs only if the reader is powered from a switch that is capable of LLDP based power negotiation. If the reader is powered from a source that does not support LLDP, power negotiation can still be enabled and disabled, but the reader does not carry out any power negotiation. The moment the power source is switched to an LLDP enabled switch, power negotiation occurs at startup if it was enabled from the UI previously. After power negotiation is enabled, and committed, it takes approximately 2 to 5 minutes to reach the PoE+ level. This is the time taken for LLDP packet exchange between the reader and the switch for power negotiation. These settings only affect the display. Use Commit/Discard on page 4-45 to save the changes. Read Points Click Read points in the selection menu to configure the read point settings and view the current read points state. Figure 4-14 Configure Read Points Antenna Status Status buttons - indicate the status of the reader read points:

Draft 2 4 - 18 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Antenna Configuration Choose Read Point - Select a read point to display the configuration. Description - Enter a read point description of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. User Configuration - Enable or disable the read point. Disabling a read point blocks RF operation using the port/antenna. Air Protocol - Displays the air protocols the read point supports. The reader currently supports only EPC Class1 GEN2 air protocol. Cable loss (dB/100 ft) - Specifies the cable loss in terms of dB per 100 feet length for the antenna cable that is used to connect this read point port to the antenna. Refer to the specification of the antenna cable for this information. The default value is 0. Setting this and the cable length to non-zero values allows the compensating for the RF signal loss in the cable due to attenuation by specifying an appropriate increase in the transmit power for this read point. The reader uses this and the cable length value to internally calculate the cable loss. The calculated cable loss is internally added to the power level configured on the read point. Cable length (ft) - Sets the cable length in feet of the physical cable that connects the read point port to the antenna. Set Properties - Select Set Properties to apply the changes. Select Commit/Discard on page 4-45 to save the changes to the reader. Read Points - Advanced Click Advanced under Read points in the selection menu to view the Advanced Antenna Configuration window.

To assure regulatory compliance, select Region to set the reader for specific regulatory requirements in the country of reader operation using the Configure Region Settings window. NOTE Region configuration is not required for readers configured to operate in the United States region (under FCC rules). Because of the differing frequency requirements, there are several versions of the hardware. The list of choices on this page is limited by the software to those selections compatible with the hardware in use. Note that if only one option is compatible with the hardware, that option is selected automatically. Figure 4-16 Configure Region Settings Window Region of Operation - Select the region for the country of operation from the drop-down list. This list includes regions which have regulatory approval to use with the current board. Draft 2 4 - 20 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Communication Standard - Select the communication standard from the list of standards that the chosen region supports. If a region supports only one standard, it is automatically selected. Frequency Hopping - Check to select frequency hopping. This option appears only if the chosen region of operation supports this. Selected Channels - Select a subset of channels on which to operate (from the list of supported channels). This option appears only if the chosen region of operation supports this. Please confirm - Check the I understand check box to confirm your understanding that the choices are in compliance with local regulatory requirements. Set Properties - Click to apply the changes. Select Commit/Discard on page 4-45 to save the changes to the reader. Certificates You can protect network services on the reader using SSL/TLS to secure the communication channel against eavesdropping or tampering, and optionally authenticate peer networked nodes involved in the communication. SSL/TLS protocol uses Public Key Infrastructure digital certificates. The following services on the reader support SSL/TLS:

Web Administrator Console service (HTTPS). See Network Services Settings on page 4-37. File Transfer Service (FTPS - explicit SSL/TLS over FTP). See Network Services Settings on page 4-37. Shell Service (SSH - by default always in secure mode). Secure LLRP Service (refer to the EPC Global LLRP Standard, Security in TCP Transport). See the Enable Secure Mode option in Configure LLRP Settings on page 4-34. NOTE The supported version of SSL/TLS varies between services. Different services support SSL v3 and TLS 1.0 and above. NOTE The Validate Peer option in Secure LLRP Service configuration enables authentication of reader and/or clients using digital certificates. You must import a custom certificate (instead of the default self-signed certificate) to the reader to enable this option. See Configure LLRP Settings on page 4-34 for details. Services other than Secure LLRP rely on password-based authentication. NOTE The SNMP service on the reader supports SNMP v2c and does not support security. Draft 2 Administrator Console 4 - 21 Certificate Configuration The Certificate Configuration page is available under the Configure Reader menu when the Administrator Console is in HTTPS mode only. To enable HTTPS mode, select Communication > Services, and on the Reader Communication Parameters page select HTTPS from the Web Server drop-down menu. Figure 4-17 Setting HTTPS Mode Select Configure Reader > Certificates. The Certificate Configuration page provides the current certificate details and an option to update to a custom certificate. Figure 4-18 Certificate Configuration Page The Current certificate details section displays the installed certificate's details such as issuer, serial number, and validity information. By default, the reader uses self-signed certificates (characterized by Subject name and Issuer in Current certificate details) for all secure interfaces using SSL/TLS. Draft 2 4 - 22 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Self-signed certificates have restrictions, such as by default clients do not trust them because they are not issued by a trusted Certification Authority (CA). Custom trusted certificates may be beneficial in certain use cases, for example:

LLRP by default does not authenticate the client or reader. Security extensions to the standard allow client or reader authentication using digital certificates. The entities involved validate digital certificates by confirming the certificates were issued from a trusted source. Therefore a custom certificate is required to authenticate the client or reader. See the Validate Peer option in Configure LLRP Settings on page 4-34. By default web browsers display a warning or prevent connection to the Administrator Console when the console service is in HTTPS mode. See Network Services Settings on page 4-37. This can be an inconvenience for certain environments, particularly when browsers are configured to reject connection to servers that do not publish a trusted certificate. FX7500 reader does not allow automatic certificate request and updating. The reader certificate must be issued externally and imported to the reader. The Update Certificate section allows importing a custom certificate to the reader. You must use one of the digital certificate generation mechanisms to create the certificate (see Creating a Custom Certificate). The reader only supports certificates in PKCS#12 format (typically with a .pfx extension). This format uses a signed certificate, with a private key (optionally encrypted) bundled into a single file. The certificate must be hosted on a secure FTP server (running in Explicit SSL/TLS over FTP mode). The following options are used to perform the update:

FTPS URL: Full path to server, including ftps:// prefix, where the .pfx file is hosted. FTPS User ID: User login ID to secure FTP server. FTPS Password: Password for specified user. PFX Password: Password for encrypted key in the .pfx file, if the key is encrypted. NOTE The FX7500 supports only a single digital certificate. If a custom certificate is installed, the issuer of the certificate is trusted by the reader, so any client attempting to connect to the reader over secure LLRP mode is trusted if the certificate issued to the client is from the same issuer. NOTE The FX7500 only supports certificates using the RSA public key algorithm. When obtaining a certificate issued from the reader or clients, ensure that RSA is the selected key algorithm. NOTE A manual reboot of the reader is required after updating the certificate for the services using SSL/TLS. Creating a Custom Certificate FX7500 reader requires that custom certificates are created externally and imported to the reader using a secure FTP, as described previously. The certificate and key used by the reader must be in PKCS#12 format (a single .pfx file), while the certificate and keys used by clients interfacing to the LLRP service on the reader must be in PEM format. If you obtain a certificate in a different format it must be converted to the appropriate format using a tools such as OpenSSL (www.openssl.org). Digital certificates are typically requested and issued from a certification authority hosted internally in an enterprise environment or by a trusted third party certification authority. The process of requesting and creating certificates varies between platforms. For example, a Windows Server environment typically uses Microsoft Certification Server to process certificate requests and issue certificates. Unix-based systems typically use Draft 2 Administrator Console 4 - 23 OpenSSL. This guide can not document all options. The following example illustrates one method of creating custom certificates. Custom Certificate Creation Example The following example illustrates how to set up an OpenSSL-based certification authority to issue reader and client certificates. These scripts can be executed in a Unix operating system or on Windows with a Unix shell scripting environment such as Cygwin:

Create the following text files in a suitable folder:

Draft 2 4 - 34 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Configure LLRP Settings Select LLRP to view and set the LLRP settings. By default, LLRP activates in server mode, where LLRP clients can connect to the reader using the port number specified in the Client port field. You can also configure the reader in LLRP client mode. In this case, configure the LLRP server address in this web page as well. LLRP cannot be disabled since it is the primary native protocol for RFID for the reader. Figure 4-23 Configure LLRP Settings Window This window offers the following fields:

LLRP Status - Displays the current state of the LLRP server on the reader. Indicates whether LLRP is running. Operation Mode - Sets the LLPR mode in the reader to either Server or Client. LLRP configuration options when the reader is in Server mode:

Client IP - Displays the currently connected LLRP client's IP address. If there is no LLRP client connection, this is 0.0.0.0. Client Port - Configures the LLRP listening port on the reader. The default is 5084. Connect Status - Indicates whether the client is connected. This button is grayed out if there is no client connected. If an LLRP client is connected to the reader, this button is enabled; click this button to disconnect the client. LLRP configuration options when the reader is in Client mode:

Server IP - Configures the IP address of the server to connect to. Client Port - Configures the LLRP host port to connect to. The default is 5084. Allow LLRP Connection Override (From USB IF) - This allows the reader to listen on an alternate port

(49152) on the virtual network (over USB) interface. When an LLRP client is connected over the primary interface (Ethernet and primary LLRP port), a different client can override this connection on the alternate interface (Virtual Network and alternate port 49152) if this option is enabled. This also permits overriding a connection from a primary interface over an existing connection on an alternate interface. This option is off by default. Changing this option restarts the LLRP service on the reader. Draft 2 Administrator Console 4 - 35 Connect Status - Indicates whether the reader is connected to the LLRP host. This button toggles between ConnectLLRP and DisconnectLLRP. Clicking ConnectLLRP initiates an LLRP connection to the host server. LLRP configuration options when the reader is in Secure mode:

Security Mode - Specifies whether LLRP communicates in secure or unsecure mode. Checking Enable Secure Mode switches the LLRP port to 5085 by default. You can override the port value. LLRP in secure mode supports ciphers that are compliant with TLS1.2. Validate Peer - Specifies whether the validation of peer against the same certification authority issued certificate is required. If you select the validate peer option, the secure LLRP service on the reader allows connection for valid secure peer entities only if the certificate of the peer is issued from the same certification authority that issued the certificate for the reader. By default the reader uses self-signed certificates, and peer certificate based validation is disabled. SNMP Settings Select SNMP to view the Configure SNMP Settings window.

Green indicates application is running Red indicates application is not running AutoStart - Select this check box to run the application at startup. Uninstall - Removes the package from the reader. To create packages for the FX7500 reader, use any of the standard Debian package creation tools, or create them manually. The FX7500 Embedded SDK Programmers Guide provides details on creating application packages to install on the reader. The package must contain a binary executable compatible with ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1, GNU Linux. The name of the binary executable must match the name of the package, excluding the version name. For example, if the package name is package-1_2.1_all (package 1 version 2.1), the name of the binary executable must be package-1. There can be more than one binary in the package. The package must contain a startup script in the name of start_packageName.sh to start the binary or binaries in the package. For example, if the package name is package-1_2.1_all.deb (package 1 version 2.1), the name of the startup script must be start_package-1.sh. The package must contain a stop script in the name of stop_packageName.sh to stop the binary or binaries in the package. For example, if the package name is package-1_2.1_all.deb (package 1 version 2.1), the name of stop script must be stop_package-1.sh. NOTE The reader executes the packages with the privileges of rfidadm user account. See the user accounts section for information on rfidadm user privileges.

Draft 2 4 - 50 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Draft 2 CHAPTER 5 WI-FI CONFIGURATION Wireless Network Advanced Configuration FX7500 uses the wpa_supplicant application to connect with wireless networks. Advanced users can place their own configuration file in the /apps folder to connect to wireless networks. This configuration file is wpa_supplicant.conf. The parameters of this file are well documented in the public domain. Refer to http://linux.die.net/man/5/wpa_supplicant.conf for the most commonly used parameters and http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/wpa_supplicant.conf.5.html for all available parameters. Also see Appendix E, Copying Files To and From the Reader for instructions on copying files to /apps directory. If /apps/wpa_supplicant.conf is present in the reader, the reader uses this file to connect to a wireless network. This supersedes the configuration in the Administrator Console, which changes to reflect the custom configuration file. Figure 5-1 Administrator Console Update Draft 2 5 - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Note that there are no text boxes in the user interface for ESSID and password.

Draft 2 5 - 10 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Draft 2 CHAPTER 6 APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT Introduction The primary communication to the Zebra FX7500 RFID reader is via the LLRP protocol interface on TCP port 5084. There are two ways to develop applications for the reader:

Using the RFID3 API set included in the Zebra RFID SDK. The FX7500 reader supports host-based and embedded RFID3 APIs. Java, C SDK support via the Eclipse IDE for host-based and embedded applications. Microsoft .Net support via the Visual Studio 2005/2008 IDE for host-based applications only. Using the LLRP interface directly. Users can either use open source LLRP stacks, or develop their own LLRP stacks. The FX7500 supports host-based and embedded applications. Reference Guides The following resources can be found on http://www.zebra.com/support:

FX Series Reader Software Interface Control Guide, p/n 72E-131718-xx Programmers Guide provided with the Zebra RFID SDK. This introductory guide describes how to perform various functions using the RFID3 API set. FX7500 Embedded SDK Installation Guide provided with the Zebra RFID SDK.

Draft 2 6 - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Draft 2 CHAPTER 7 FIRMWARE UPGRADE Introduction This chapter provides reader firmware update information on using the web-based Administrator Console. The following methods are available to update the firmware on the FX7500 reader. Update using a USB drive. File-based update that allows uploading the firmware files from the PC (or a network location) to the reader and running the update. FTP / FTPS / SCP server-based update. Use this procedure to update the following software components:

uboot OS Reader Server Application (includes Radio API and Radio firmware) Prerequisites The following items are required to perform the update:

Reader with power supply or POE connection Laptop (or other host computer) An Ethernet cable An FTP server Current firmware file examples:

OSUpdate.elf response.txt u-boot_X.X.X.X.bin (uBoot, X.X.X.X is a filename version) uImage_ X.X.X.X (OS, X.X.X.X is a filename variable) platform_ X.X.X.X.tar.gz (Platform partition, X.X.X.X is a filename variable) rootfs_ X.X.X.X.jffs2 (Root FileSystem, X.X.X.X is a filename variable) Refer to the release notes to determine which files were updated; not all of the files are updated in every release. Draft 2 7 - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Failsafe Update FX7500 provides true failsafe firmware update. Each partition (such as OS and platform) has an active and backup partition. The firmware update process always writes the new images to the backup partition. This ensures that any power or network outages in the middle of firmware update does not prevent the reader from being operational. In the case of a firmware update failure, the power LED on the reader lights red. Update Phases The firmware update takes place in three phases:

Phase 1 - The reader application retrieves the response.txt and OSUpdate.elf files from the ftp server. Phase 2 - The reader application shuts down and the OSUpdate starts. The files referenced in the response.txt file are retrieved from the FTP server and written to flash. Phase 3 - The reader resets after all partitions update successfully. It may also update the RFID firmware if it detects a different version in the platform partition. A typical entry in the Response.txt is:

;platform partition

-t5 -fplatform_1.1.15.0.tar.gz -s8004561 -u8130879 NOTE The Application Server, Radio API, and Radio firmware code all reside in the Platform partition. The -t parameter is the file type, -f is the name of the file, and -s the size. Ensure the file size is correct.

Draft 2 8 - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Table 8-1 Troubleshooting (Continued) Problem/Error Certain real time applications are no longer functional. Possible Causes The node address, IP address, or other reader configuration parameter(s) were changed using the Administrator Console, and the application expects the previous configuration. The user closed the browser without logging out of the Administrator Console, so other applications cannot connect to the reader. Cannot log into Administrator Console. The user forgot the password. Unable to add SNTP server, reader returning error:

Error: Cannot find the specified Host Address Operation failed. Invalid User Name and/or Password - Try again. Session has Timed-out - Log in again. SNTP server is not reachable. SNTP server name is not resolvable via DNS server. DNS server is not reachable. A user operation did not complete, typically due to invalid input. The user name and/or password were not found in the system, or do not match the current user registry. The current session was inactive beyond the time-out period (15 minutes), so the system automatically logged out. Possible Solutions Update the settings within the application. Refer to the application manual. Log out of the Administrator Console. The applications can use the Force Login option to log in even when the user closes the browser without logging out. Force Login option is supported for the administrative user. Press and hold the reset button for more than 8 seconds. This resets the reader configuration to factory defaults, including the password. This also removes the contents of the apps partition. Ensure the SNTP server is accessible. Ensure the DNS server name is configured in TCP/IP configuration. Ensure the DNS server is accessible. Validate all inputs and retry the operation. If it is not successful, see Service Information on page xii. Accurately retype login information. If this is not successful, see Service Information on page xii. Log in again. As a security precaution to protect against unauthorized system access, always log out of the system when finished. Draft 2 Table 8-1 Troubleshooting (Continued) Problem/Error User name is not correct. Not a legal IP address

(1.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255). Cannot reach the specified IP address. The SNMP Host Link is not valid. Invalid network mask. Invalid SNMP version number. Invalid description. Invalid password. Possible Causes The user name does not match the current user registry (illegal characters, too long, too short, unknown, or duplicate). User forgot the user ID. Web console supports the following users:

- Admin (default password is change)

- Guest (no password required)

- rfidadm - supported over SSH,FTP/FTPS, SCP, but not over Administrator Console. The IP address entered is either formatted inaccurately or cannot be accessed

(pinged). The network mask entered is not formatted correctly. The version number for SNMP protocol is not a supported version. The description contained invalid characters (<,>,or'). The password does not match the current user registry (illegal characters, too long, or too short). User forgot the password. The name, serial number, or IP address entered already exists in the system. Another administrator is currently logged in. Try again later. Backup configuration file does not exist. The name, serial number, or IP address entered was already used. The system does not allow more than one administrator to log in at a time. The system cannot revert to a backup configuration unless a backup file exists. Troubleshooting 8 - 3 Possible Solutions Accurately retype the user name. Reset the reader to factory defaults and select Admin for user name and enter change in the password field to regain access. See Reset to Factory Defaults LED Sequence on page 3-11. Accurately retype the IP address, and make sure the host device is connected and online. If this is not successful, see Service Information on page xii. Confirm the correct network mask from the network administrator and enter it correctly. Use version number 1 for SNMP version 1, and 2 for SNMP version 2c. Correct the description. Accurately retype the password. Reset the reader to factory defaults and select Admin for user name and enter change in the password field to regain access.

To confirm that the Wi-Fi dongle is detected properly, log in to the reader Administrator Console. On the Home page ensure the USB Port Status displays Device Connected. Hover the mouse pointer over this link to display the WiFi dongle information shown in Figure D-2. Figure D-2 Wi-Fi Dongle Connected 3. Select Communication > Wireless. Figure D-3 Wireless Settings The WiFi dongle can connect to the wireless network in one of two ways:

Manually entering the ESSID (if known). Scanning the current list of APs and choosing the correct one to connect to. Draft 2 Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles D - 3 4. Once the APs are scanned, enter the appropriate passkey and enable Connect Automatically (if required to connect to the AP automatically if the connection is lost). Figure D-4 Entering Connect Information 5. Select Connect. When the connection to the AP succeeds, an IP is assigned and appears in the IP Address field. Figure D-5 Assigned IP Address The reader is now accessible using the wireless IP shown in the IP Address field (157.235.207.24 in this case). The WiFi interface supports dynamic addressing mechanisms for both IPV4 and IPv6. There is no provision to set a static IP address. For wireless IP address details, select Communication > Wi-Fi tab. Draft 2 D - 4 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide Figure D-6 Wi-Fi Tab - IPV4 The reader can also be accessed via Wi-Fi using an IPV6 address if supported by the network to which the API is connected. Figure D-7 Wi-Fi Tab - IPV6 Draft 2 Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles D - 5 Connecting to a Peer Device over Bluetooth Using a Bluetooth Dongle To connect to a peer device over Bluetooth using a USB Bluetooth dongle on the FX7500:

1. Plug the supported Bluetooth dongle into the USB host port on the FX7500. The following Bluetooth dongles are supported on the FX7500:

Asus Mini Bluetooth Dongle USB-BT211. MediaLink Bluetooth Dongle MUA-BA3. Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 GPIO 24 VDC Figure D-8 USB Host Port Location for Dongle USB Host Port 2. To confirm that the Bluetooth dongle is detected properly, log in to the reader Administrator Console. On the Home page ensure the USB Port Status displays Device Connected. Hover the mouse pointer over this link to display the Bluetooth dongle information. Figure D-9 Bluetooth Dongle Connected 3. Select Communication > Bluetooth.

scp SourceFileName rfidadm@MyReaderIP:/apps scp rfidadm@MyReaderIP:/apps/SourceFileName userid@MyLinuxMachineIP:/MyFolderName SCP FTP The following examples illustrate FTP use:

ftp> open To 157.235.207.146 Connected to 157.235.207.146. 220 Welcome to Thredbo FTP service. User (157.235.207.146:(none)): rfidadm 331 Please specify the password. Password:

230 Login successful. ftp>

Use FTP commands such as is, get, and put to manage files. For more information on FTP commands refer to http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/ftp.html. GUI applications such as FileZilla are also supported on Windows and Linux machines to connect to the FX7500. Draft 2 E - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide FTPS Use any standard GUI tool such as FileZilla to connect to the FX7500 reader over FTPS. Draft 2 APPENDIX F DATA PROTECTION Introduction The FX7500 stores data in transition when it detects a network condition that prevents the reader from sending data. This applies to RFID tag data that the reader application is transmitting to the outbound TCP socket, and is no longer owned by the RFID application because it was sent to the network layer for transmission. When the reader cannot queue RFID data in the outbound TCP socket when an LLRP connection is already established, it stores all outbound LLRP messages in the data protection queue. The queue can store up to 66,000 messages, which represents more than 5 minutes worth of data when reading 200 tags/second (the nominal data rate in DRM (dense reader mode) configuration). If the network is still unavailable when the data protection queue is full, the oldest messages are discarded to accommodate the most recent tag reports. This feature can not be disabled and operates regardless of the physical network interface used, meaning RFID data over WiFi and Bluetooth is also protected.

This Quick Start Guide provides information about installing and connecting the reader. For more information refer to the FX Series RFID Readers Integrator Guide, available at http://www.motorolasolutions.com/support Reader Installation 1. Unpack the reader. 2. Set up the reader and tags on a desktop. 3. Connect the antenna to antenna Port 1. Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 GPI Antenna Port 1 4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. Connecting the reader to a subnet that supports DHCP is recommended. This installation procedure is not guaranteed to work if DHCP is disabled in the reader and if the reader is connected directly to a PC. Connecting to the Reader To connect via host name:

1. Open a browser. Recommended browsers are Recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24. 2. Enter the host name, provided on a label on the reader, in the browser

(e.g., http://fx7500cd3b0d) and press Enter. The User Login window appears and the reader is ready. NOTE Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the network can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register hostnames through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in both the PC and in the reader, although it is not guaranteed that host name will work all the time. As an alternative to using the host name on the reader label, construct it using the reader MAC address on the bottom of the reader. To do this, enter the prefix FX7500, followed by the last six characters of the MAC address. For example, for a MAC address of 0023683BA63A, use the prefix FX7500, followed by 3BA63A. Enter http://FX75003BA63A in the browser address bar to access the reader. Additional Information Following are links to additional information and software:

(with POE) Power 5. Connect the AC power supply to a power outlet and connect to the power port. NOTE This step is not required for networks supporting Power-over-Ethernet (POE). The green power LED remains lit after successful installation. Connecting to the Reader To connect via host name:

1. Open a browser. Recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24. 2. Enter the host name, provided on a label on the reader, in the browser

(e.g., http://fx7500cd3b0d) and press Enter. The User Login window appears and the reader is ready. NOTE Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the network can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register host names through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in both the PC and in the reader, although it is not guaranteed that host name will work all the time. As an alternative to using the host name on the reader label, construct it using the reader MAC address on the bottom of the reader. To do this, enter the prefix FX7500, followed by the last six characters of the MAC address. For example, for a MAC address of 0023683BA63A, use the prefix FX7500, followed by 3BA63A. Enter http://FX75003BA63A in the browser address bar to access the reader. Zebra reserves the right to make changes to any product to improve reliability, function, or design.
