Step 3: Power the Reader
You have two choices for powering Speedway Revolution:
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
External universal power supply
If your network switch is PoE-enabled, the Reader will power on when you connect it to the
network.
If you are using an external universal power supply, connect the AC power plug into a
suitable 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz power outlet.
The boot sequence begins in either case when power is supplied to the Reader. This
sequence typically completes within 30 seconds. Once the boot sequence finishes, the
Reader accepts commands, not before. The

Important: If a Reader is receiving power via PoE and the Reader detects that an
external universal power supply has been connected, the Reader reboots and switches to
the external universal power supply source. If, however, the Reader is receiving power via
an external universal power supply and detects the connection to a PoE-enabled network
switch, nothing changes. The Reader continues to receive power from the external supply.
The external universal power supply always takes precedence over PoE because the
universal power supply is capable of higher power if both sources are connected.

Step 4: Connect Speedway Revolution to the Network
You are now ready to connect the installed Speedway Revolution to your network. You have
two options:

(TCP/IP).
• If your network does not support DHCP, you will need to connect a PC directly to the
Reader using an RS-232 serial connection. Use the Reader‘s RShell command line
interface to configure a static IP address for the Reader. Once completed, you will be
able to connect the Reader to your Ethernet network.

Beginning with Octane 4.8 release WiFi is supported using an adapter connected to the USB
port on Speedway Revolution. Only WiFi adpaters using the Realtek 8187 chipset/driver are
supported. Contact Impinj to obtain a list of compatible WiFi USB adapters brands/models
and the RShell Reference Manual for details on how to configure.
