Connecting the IF5 to Your Network

IF5 Fixed Reader User's Manual
After you configure the IF5 for your network and choose a
mounting location, you can place the IF5 in its mounting
location and connect it to your network.
For help with configuring the IF5, see
(Setting the IP Address)" on page 10.
Note: If you are using a DHCP server, make sure the server is
running before you connect power to the IF5. If there is no
DHCP server available at boot time, the IF5 may seem to be
locked up while searching for DHCP lease offers.
To install the IF5
1 Remove the cable access door. For help, see
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
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 For a wired Ethernet network, connect an Ethernet cable to
the IF5 Ethernet port.
For a wireless network, install the primary 802.11g radio
antenna on antenna port 4. You can connect a secondary
802.11g antenna to port 3.
4 Connect the AC power cord to the power port on the IF5.
Note: The IF5 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.
