Power Requirements
There are two options for powering your Speedway Revolution Reader:
1.
Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE)
2.
An external universal AC to DC power supply.
PoE offers the most efficient power consumption and supports up to +30 dBm. An external
universal power supply supports up to +32.5 dBm. Operating above +30 dBm requires
professional installation. See Appendix A:
Information Specific to Regions of Operation
on
page 33 for details.
If you are using a universal power supply module, you must use the Impinj approved part,
number IPJ-A2001-000, which supplies
+24V + 5%
. Available AC power cords are:
•
IPJ-A2051-USA (for North America)
•
IPJ-A2051-EU1 (for European Union)
•
IPJ-A2051-AUS (for Australia, New Zealand)
•
IPJ-A2051-BRA (for Brazil)
•
IPJ-A2051-CHN (for China)
•
IPJ-A2051-JPN (for Japan)
•
IPJ-A2051-RSA (for South Africa)
•
IPJ-A2051-UK1 (for UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong)
Ordering the universal power supply and power cords from Impinj is simple and efficient.
Supported Operating Environments
This section describes the environments in which you can access the Speedway Revolution
RShell console used for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the reader. The tools you
use when accessing the RShell console depend on how you connect your PC to the reader:
serial connection (RS-232) or Ethernet connection (SSH/Telnet). On PCs running Microsoft
Windows, you can now use Putty for both types of connections.

Supported Communication Protocol
For client control of the reader, Speedway Revolution supports the EPCglobal Low Level
Reader Protocol (LLRP) v1.0.1. LLRP is an EPCglobal standard interface allowing
communication with the reader, which in turn reads EPCglobal Gen 2 RFID tags.
