3.2. PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
3.2.1. Bench Top Verification
It is always a good idea to verify system operation before committing to a full-scale
installation (e.g., as shown in Figure 4, page 18). The following are the necessary steps
to test reader’s operation in a static environment.
• You must first check to see if your network switch or router is equipped with PoE
(Power over Ethernet).
If switch is PoE, connect network cable to just one (1) MPR-2010AN/BN unit.
Skip the next two steps unless the IP address of connected unit cannot be
obtained.
• If your network is not equipped with PoE, obtain a power injector (PI-2000), and 48V
DC wall plug power supply and a short network RJ-45 cable (all available from AWID
under part number PI-2000, PS48-03A and RJ-45 cable).
• Connect the RJ-45 cable between the reader and “READER” port of PI-2000,
connect the wall plug power supply to POWER port of PI-2000 and connect the
Ethernet (RJ-45) cable from the Ethernet Hub (if in use) to “HUB or SWITCH” port of
PI-2000 or in the case where there is no such hub, connect from PC to the port using
a Crossover CAT5 cable.
Power up computer
Follow instructions on Local Set Up (Figure 6 or Figure 7) of an MPR-2010AN.
• Load the demo program CD onto (installation) PC and launch the demo program. Try
Connect after filling in the IP address of reader and then some commands once
connected.

Aiming of Antenna
Antenna Pattern for MPR-2010
MPR-2010 comes with a circular polarized antenna, to ensure reading tag with random
orientation. Most circular polarized antenna has a horizontal to vertical differential of up
to 3 dB, this will cause the antenna pattern to deviate from a true circle. AWID’s antenna
