impinj R700 Series Manual

Connect antenna

1. Securely mount one or more Impinj-approved antennas in accordance with the antenna manufacturer's instructions
2. Securely connect the antenna to a reader antenna port

Power the reader using PoE+ and connect it to the network

1. Route an Ethernet cable from the reader's RJ45 Ethernet port to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) power source.
   • An IEEE 802.3at PoE+ source is recommended. A POE+ source enables full reader functionality, including maximum reader transmit power.
   • An IEEE 803.af PoE source can be used. Reader transmit power and certain features will be constrained. See the reader's Installation and Operations Guide for additional detail.
   • Typical PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) includes the Impinj midspan injector (sold separately) or an endspan network switch. A midspan injector requires an additional Ethernet cable and an AC line cord.

NOTE: The Impinj R720 requires a PoE+ source to transmit at powers exceeding 20 dBm. PoE sources are only recommended for applications running at low power.

Sign into the reader and update firmware if necessary

1. Determine the reader hostname to connect to a network with a DHCP server.
   • Impinj R700 series reader hostname: impinj-XX-XX-XX (where XX-XX-XX is the last 3 hex couplets of the reader MAC address, e.g., impinj-89-ABCD)
   • The MAC address is printed on labels affixed to the reader and shipping box
2. In a new browser tab, connect to the Impinj R700 series reader using the URL http://<Hostname or Static IP>.
   NOTE: If you are connecting your Impinj R700 series reader to a network with static IP addressing, refer to the device's Installation and Operations Guide on the Support Portal for instructions.
3. Sign into the reader using the default credentials:
   • username: root
   • password: impinj
4. Once the reader's web configuration page opens, note the firmware version under Firmware and CAP header on Home tab.
5. Navigate to https://support.impinj.com and type "Impinj R700 Firmware" into the support search toolbar.
6. Click the "Impinj R700 Series Reader Documents and Downloads" link.

• Note the available firmware version listed on the page via Current Firmware link, compare firmware version in the Web UI to device firmware in step 4.

7. If newer reader firmware is available, proceed with following steps:
   • Download the firmware upgrade file from the support portal or contact an authorized Impinj partner.
   • Drag and drop downloaded.upgx file to dashed box under Firmware Version in device's Web UI.
   • Firmware will install and prompt a device reboot.
   • Click Reboot button in Web UI.

2. Add a new data source by clicking:
   • Enter the reader host name (impinj-XX-XX-XX) or static IP address
   • Select the Data Source Interface – reader default is the Impinj IoT Device Interface
   • Click Add Data Source
   • Ensure the reader data source is enabled:
3. Select the Inventory showcase (default)
