Connecting the IF30 to Your Network
After you configure the IF30 for your network and choose a mounting
location, you can place the IF30 in its mounting location and connect
it to your network.
For help with configuring the IF30, see “Configuring the IF30
(Setting the IP Address)” on page 9.
To install the IF30
1 Remove the cable access door. For help, see “Understanding the
Front Panel Ports” on page 4.
2 Attach one to four RFID antennas to the RFID antenna ports,
starting with port 1. Do not remove the terminators from unused
antenna ports. For help, see “Understanding the Rear Panel
Ports” on page 8.
3 Connect an Ethernet cable to the IF30 Ethernet port.
4 Connect the AC power cord to the power port on the IF30.
5 Install the cable access door and route the cables through the
openings in the door seam. Make sure the cables are not caught in
the seam.
6 Place the IF30 in its mounting location. For more information, see
“Choosing a Mounting Location” on page 18
7 Connect the Ethernet cable to your network.
8 Connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. As soon as you apply
power, the IF30 boots and the green Power LED turns on.
Note: If there is no DHCP server available at boot time, the IF30 will
not be able to communicate on the network while searching for DHCP
lease offers.
Each port must have either an antenna or a terminator
connected. Do not apply power to the reader unless an
antenna or terminator is installed on each antenna port.
Note: The IF30 does not support power over Ethernet (POE).
