Speedway Revolution Installation and Operations Guide
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome to the Speedway/Revolution Installation and Operations Guide.
About This Guide
This guide provides detailed instructions on installing, connecting, configuring, operating,
upgrading, and troubleshooting Speedway/Revolution. To minimize and streamline the
information in this guide, its contents focus on the installation and operations of a single
reader. For information about performing more complex installations and configurations
(for example, installing and configuring large numbers of readers), see the Impinj System
Design Guide.
Note:
From this point forward, Speedway/Revolution will be expressed as Speedway/R.
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for anyone who is installing a Speedway/R reader. The assumption,
however, is that the primary users of this guide are systems engineers and IT personnel
who have basic knowledge of and experience working in software development, hardware
systems integration, and network connectivity.
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.
