Industry of Canada technical specifications were met. Before You Begin Please read this document in its entirety before operating the Speedway/Revolution reader, as serious personal Warning injury or equipment damage may result from improper use. Unauthorized opening of the Speedway/Revolu- tion reader enclosure voids the warranty.

In addition, it is assumed that the reader has a high-level understanding of RFID and RFID systems management as well as a basic familiarity with the EPCGlobal Gen 2 specifica- tion. To learn more about RFID and the Gen 2 specification, see the Impinj System Design Guide.
30 dBm transmit power. Note that Speedway/R supports the IEEE standard 802.3af (for PoE). • Compact Form Factor The compact size of Speedway/R (7.4 x 6.9 x 1.2 in) enables ease of installation in tight spaces and embedded applications. • Availability of Two Models Speedway/R offers two models, each with a different number of high performance monostatic antenna ports.
Standard Ethernet cable(s) Power Requirements As noted earlier, there are two options for powering your Speedway/R reader: Power- Over-Ethernet (PoE) or an external power supply. PoE offers the most efficient power consumption and allows up to +30 dBm. An external power supply allows up to +32.5 dBm.
Chapter 1: Introduction Supported Communication Protocol For client control of the reader, Speedway/R supports the EPCglobal Low Level Reader Protocol (LLRP) v1.0.1. LLRP is an EPCglobal standard interface that allows communi- cation with the reader and with EPCglobal Generation 2 (Gen 2) RFID tags.
The following graphic illustrates the various I/O ports located on the Speedway/R reader. This graphic illustrates a Speedway R420, which includes four antenna ports (not visible in this graphic). Note that Speedway R220 includes two antenna ports. Other than that dif- ference, however, the exterior ports are the same on both models.

Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide Overview of Installation and Connection Process Listed below are the primary steps to follow to install and connect Speedway/R: 1. Position the reader appropriately for your environment. This may or may not involve mounting the reader.
Impinj has designed its antenna ports to be self-terminating. Therefore, it is important that you do not terminate unused antenna ports. Leave them unconnected. Step 3: Connect Speedway/R to the Network You are now ready to connect the installed Speedway/R to your network. You have two options: •...

Chapter 2: Installing and Connecting Speedway/Revolution To connect Speedway/R to your PC over a serial connection: 1. If necessary, download the latest version of Putty, which is a free and reliable SSH, Telnet, and serial client. Version 0.59 or higher contains support for serial connections.
Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide Step 4: Power the Reader You have two choices for powering Speedway/R: • Power over Ethernet (PoE) • External power supply If you are using PoE, your reader began receiving power when you connected it to the net- work in the previous step.
Appendix A: Information Specific to Regions of Operation Speedway/R is designed to work in various regulatory regions. This appendix includes frequency ranges and antenna requirements specific to each supported region. Note that this first release of Speedway/R covers operation in North America only.
Appendix A: Information Specific to Regions of Operation Installation Because Speedway/R is capable of up to +32.5 dBm conducted power on the housing RF connector, professional installation is required. Power Speedway/R may only be operated with Impinj-approved antennas and can radiate no more than 36 dBm EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power) per FCC Part 15.247...
