2.2. Preparing Ethernet (TCP/IP) Connectivity
Connect the reader to your network via the Ethernet port (see Figure 2-3). If your network is capable of communicating to the
reader in its default IP configuration (DHCP), then complete and verify connectivity as described below. Note that the host
computer must be on the same subnet as the reader.

Figure 2-3 Ethernet Connectivity
Connect the computer’s Ethernet port to the Speedway reader using one of the following two methods:
• Use of an Ethernet router or switch with either PC IP address set to a static address within the subnet of the reader
(switch) or router’s DHCP set to provide the PC with an IP address within the reader’s subnet.
• Use of a single Ethernet crossover cable to connect directly to your PC with the PC IP address set to a static value
(e.g., 192.168.1.10) within the subnet of the reader.
To verify correct TCP/IP connectivity ping (using the “ping” command) or traceroute (using the “traceroute” command in a
Linux environment, or the “tracert” command in a Windows environment) the reader’s IP address using the PC’s command
line interface. Once connectivity is established, open the computer’s web browser application and connect to the Speedway
reader’s hosted webpage (see Section 3), and login to complete the Speedway reader configuration. The default login (case-
sensitive) is as follows:
User Name: root
Password: impinj
You’re now ready to configure the network. Proceed to section 3.
