The reader comes preconfigured to look for a DHCP server to set its 
network parameters. In the absence of a DHCP server, the reader will 
use the following settings: 

 

IP Address: 192.168.1.100 

 

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 

 

Gateway: 192.168.1.1 

6.  Connect the antenna to the antenna port.

 

 

The ALR-9680 is a mono-static system (a single antenna acts as both 
transmitter and receiver). Four antenna ports (ANT 0-3) are provided. 
Each antenna provides a single read point. 

 

Only the antennas listed in this manual and their associated cables (if 
specified) may be used with this reader. 

 

The antenna ports are found on the reader I/O panel on the left hand 
side if viewing the reader from the top with the connectors at the bottom. 
It uses a reverse polarity TNC connector. If using the Alien Gateway 
software, please note that ANT 0 is selected by default when first 
initialized. 

 

Align the antenna’s coax cable’s center pin and push it into the port. 

 

Screw the fitting from the cable end onto the reader connector 

clockwise

 

until finger-tight to secure the cable to the reader. 

7.  Power up the reader 

 

If you are using an 802.3af compliant network to power the ALR-9680 
connect a standard LAN cable between the ALR-9680 LAN/PoE port and 
the 802.3af enabled LAN drop or network switch.

 

The green POWER 

LED will illuminate when power is on. 
 
Note: If using an 802.3af compliant network it must be capable of 
supplying up to 12.95 watts.

 

 

Figure 12 – 802.3af Network Connection Diagram 

 

If you are using the ALX-416-1 PoE Power supply or the ALX-416-2 
AC/DC brick plug the AC power cord into the supply and into the wall 
outlet.

 

The green POWER LED will illuminate when power is on.

 

Observe the reader's boot-up trace on the serial port, and determine the 
network settings. 

The RS-232 port displays useful information while the reader boots, including 
network settings. Toward the end of the trace, the reader displays a block of 
text similar to the following:
