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.

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).
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:

Using MultiReader to Configure and Test Speedway Revolution
Impinj provides a simple, easy-to-use LLRP application for configuring and testing the basic
RF behavior of Speedway Revolution. The MultiReader application is available from the
Impinj support Web site at

Microsoft Windows XP.
Microsoft Windows XP.
Note
: MultiReader will install and operate on Windows7, but is not fully tested and
supported. We recommend MultiReader for test purposes only. MultiReader is now available
