2. Communicating with the Speedway Reader
Reader connectivity and control is accomplished via either network (Ethernet, TCP/IP) or serial (RS-232) interfaces on the
Speedway unit (see Figure 2-1).
If connecting via Ethernet, see Section 2.2. Note that if your network equipment is not compatible with the default network
configuration of the reader (DHCP), connecting via the serial interface will be necessary to establish initial command line-level
communications with the Speedway reader. If making a direct serial connection, see Section 2.1.
