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). If your DHCP server does not support DNS hostname registration, the option has been
turned off in Rshell or you are using a static IP address navigate to the IP address assigned or the host name manually specified
in your DNS server. You’ll then be directed to the specific Speedway unit’s homepage (see Figure 4-1), which details the

The Speedway reader applet is a Java program that runs from within a web browser (see Figure 4-1). Speedway requires Java
Runtime Environment (JRE), version 1.4.2 or later. Note that Windows 2000 default is 1.3.1. The latest version of JRE can be
downloaded from: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
The Speedway reader applet is accessed via the RFID menu tab at the top of this page. (If the applet is opened, no other
external software may connect to the reader via Mach1™.) Clicking this tab will bring up a dialog box prompting the user to
enter a login ID and password, the default for which is:
User name: root
Password: impinj
The Java applet will load and open the Settings page (see Figure 4-2).
The five user-selected fields on the Settings page include Mode, Antenna, Session, Transmit Power, and Channel, each of
which are described below.
