Connecting the IF30 to Your Network

IF30 Fixed Reader User's Manual
After you configure the IF30 for your network and choose a
mounting location, you can place the IF30 in its mounting
location and connect it to your network.
For help with configuring the IF30, see "Configuring the IF30
(Setting the IP Address)" on page 9.
Note: If there is no DHCP server available at boot time, the IF30
will not be able to communicate on the network while searching
for DHCP lease offers.
To install the IF30
1 Remove the cable access door. For help, see "Understanding
the Front Panel Ports" on page 4.
2 Attach one to four RFID antennas to the RFID antenna
ports, starting with port 1. Do not remove the terminators
from unused antenna ports. For help, see "Understanding the
Rear Panel Ports" on page 8.
Each port must have either an antenna or a terminator
connected. Do not apply power to the reader unless an
antenna or terminator is installed on each antenna port.
3 Connect an Ethernet cable to the IF30 Ethernet port.
4 Connect the AC power cord to the power port on the IF30.
Note: The IF30 does not support power over Ethernet (POE).
5 Install the cable access door and route the cables through the
openings in the door seam. Make sure the cables are not
caught in the seam.
6 Place the IF30 in its mounting location. For more
information, see "Choosing a Mounting Location" on
page 18.
7 Connect the Ethernet cable to your network.
