3. Configure the appropriate TCP/IP parameters for your environment. The
applicable commands are:
•
Setting Hostname
>
config network hostname <HOSTNAME>
•
Setting Static IP Address
> config network ip static <IP ADDRESS> <NETMASK> <GATEWAY>
Note
: The IP address is required; the other parameters are optional.
The default value is used if an optional parameter is omitted from the ip
command.
command.
•
Enabling DHCP
> config network ip dynamic
•
Configuring NTP Servers
> config network ntp add <NTP SERVER ADDRESS>
4. After successfully configuring all required network settings, connect the
reader to the network via the Speedway Revolution Ethernet port.
RF Configuration
Configuring your reader’s RF behavior depends entirely on your implementation
approach. You may be using a custom software application, middleware running
on a server, or some other approach. MultiReader (see below) is an example of a
PC client application. Regardless of the application you’re using, the underlying
protocol is the same—Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP).

protocol is the same—Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP).
LLRP is a standard, asymmetric, binary protocol used for communication between
a client application and the reader. LLRP controls the configuration of the antenna
transmit power, the receive sensitivity, the operating reader, and more. For
details about LLRP, see one or more of the following documents:
