Powering the Speedway
The Speedway reader can be powered in one of two ways: through the
Speedway’s Power
over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+) capability, or with an AC power source.
NOTE:
Use either AC Power or PoE / PoE+. Do not use both simultaneously.
With PoE / PoE+
1.
Use the appropriate PoE/PoE+ Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and route an
Ethernet cable from the PSE to the Speedway
’s Ethernet port.

R660-EU2 models: IEEE 802.3at certified (PoE+)
•
All other models: IEEE 802.3af certified (PoE)
With AC Power
Connect an Impinj universal power supply to the +24VDC power supply port
using a region-specific AC power cord.
Secure the cable using the locking connector
Route an Ethernet cable from the work area outlet to the 10/100BASE-T port on
the reader
NOTE:
This product is intended to be supplied with a Listed/Certified power
supply, marked LPS or Class 2, with 24Vdc output, rated minimum 2.1A.

Speedway Connectivity with DHCP Services
Make sure your Speedway is connected to your local network via Ethernet.
Determine the Speedway hostname to connect to a network with a DHCP server.
•
Hostname:
Speedwayr-XX-XX-XX (where XX-XX-XX is the last 3 hex
couplets of the reader MAC address, e.g. Speedwayr-12-AB-CD)
If desired, test your connection by pinging <hostname>.local in
your PC’s
command prompt (e.g., ping speedwayr-12-AB-CD.local).
NOTE:
If you are connecting your Speedway to a network with static IP
addressing, refer to Speedway Installation and Operations Guide on the
Support Portal for instructions.
