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. Therefore, there is nothing more you need to do. If you are
using an external power supply, connect the AC power plug into a suitable 100-240 VAC,
50-60 Hz power outlet.
In either case, when power is supplied to the reader, it begins its boot sequence. This
sequence typically completes within 30 to 45 seconds. Until the boot sequence completes,
the reader will not accept commands. The Power and Status LEDs on the reader alert you
to what is happening. See the table labeled "Reader Operations and Associated Status
LED Behavior" on page 6 for details.
Important: If a reader is receiving its power via PoE and it detects that an external power supply has
been connected, the reader reboots and switches its power source from PoE to the external
power supply. If, however, the reader is receiving power via an external power supply and
it detects the connection to a PoE-enabled network switch, nothing changes. The reader
continues to receive its power from the external supply. Because the external power sup-
ply is capable of higher power than PoE, it always takes precedence if both sources are
connected.
