Speedway Reader IPJ-R1000 for Gen 2 UHF RFID

3. Network Configuration
The network may be configured for the Speedway reader using the Rshell command line interface (CLI), accessed via serial
connectivity (see section 2.1). By default, the reader will provide a system name of speedway-nn
h
-nn
h
-nn
h
to the DHCP
server. The nn
h
-nn
h
-nn
h
represents the host name suffix (simply concatenate the last three bytes of the unit’s MAC address
(as printed on the Speedway reader enclosure, and expressed in hexadecimal) to the word “speedway” separated by “-“ to
complete the host name entry, e.g., speedway-00-00-0C). Shown here are the essential configuration commands; for complete
information on this interface, see section 6).
To view the reader's current configuration settings, at the prompt, enter the following command:
> show network summary
The reader will respond with the following (sample only; actual data will differ):
> show network summary
Status=0,'success'
ipAddressMode=dynamic
ipAddress=192.168.20.121
ipMask=255.255.255.0
gatewayAddress=192.168.20.1
broadcastAddress=192.168.20.255
hostname=speedway-00-00-0C
>
At this point, the TCP/IP configuration parameters, such as its IP status (static or dynamic) and hostname, may be changed via
the following command examples:
• To set hostname, at the prompt, enter the command:
config network hostname <HOSTNAME>
• To set static IP address, at the prompt, enter the command:
config network ip static <IP ADDRESS> <NETMASK> <GATEWAY> <BROADCAST>
• Alternatively, either of the following two versions of the config network ip static command may be used, in which case the
reader will use default values for the unspecified parameters:
config network ip static <IP ADDRESS>
config network ip static <IP ADDRESS> <GATEWAY>
• To set DHCP, at the prompt, enter the command:
config network ip dynamic
You may now continue to use the Speedway reader in serial mode or connect to the network via the Speedway reader's
Ethernet port.
