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

1. Connect an Impinj universal power supply to the +24VDC power supply port using a region-specific AC power cord.
2. Secure the cable using the locking connector
3. 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. (Ce produit est conçu  pour être alimenté avec une alimentation Mis / certifiés, marqué LPS ou de classe 2, avec sortie 24V, 2,1 A nominal minimum)

Speedway Connectivity with DHCP Services

1. 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: Speedway-XX-XX-XX (where XX-XX-XX is the last 3 hex couplets of the reader MAC address, e.g. Speedway-12-AB-CD)

2. If desired, test your connection by pinging .local in your PC’s command prompt (e.g., ping speedway-12-AB-CD.local).
   NOTE: If you are connecting your Speedway to a network with a static IP address, refer to Speedway Installation and Operations Guide on the Support Portal for instructions.

Updating the Firmware

1. Connect to the web configuration page using a web browser at the URL HTTP://.

2. Log in using default credentials:
   • username: root
   • password: Impinj

3. Select your region from the drop-down list. (Optional)
   NOTE: The user is responsible for ensuring operation with the correct RF settings and is solely responsible for any fines and other damages due to incorrect or non-compliant  country/region settings
   NOTE: GX1 and GX2 Speedway readers have no region pre-configured and will not transmit RAIN RFID signals until a region is selected.

4. The Speedway runs Impinj Octane firmware. Make a note of the “Software Version” shown on the web configuration page. If you are not running the latest version,  upgrade using the “Reader Upgrade” utility. (Download from the Support Portal or ask your Impinj authorized partner for the latest released version.)
