How to Communicate with the IF2
By default, the IF2 is configured to be a DHCP client and accepts offers from any
DHCP server. Therefore, the IF2 will work out of the box if you connect it to your
network and use a DHCP server to assign it an IP address. In this case, you configure the IF2 using the web browser interface from a desktop PC. For help, see "Use
the Web Browser Interface" on page 1-7.
However, if you are not using a DHCP server to assign an IP address, you use a
serial communications program such as HyperTerminal to assign a static IP
address. For help, see the next section, “Assigning an Initial IP Address.”
After the IF2 has been assigned an IP address, connect it to your network and then
complete the configuration by using a web browser interface from a desktop PC.
For help, see "Use the Web Browser Interface" on page 1-7.

How to Install the IF2
This section explains how to properly install the IF2 reader and how to mount it to a
wall using the IF2 Network Reader Drilling Template Instructions that ship in the
box with the IF2.
Caution: The IF2 should be professionally installed. For more
information, contact your local Intermec representative.
How to Ground the IF2
Caution: Make sure you properly ground the IF2 and all antennas.
Proper grounding of the IF2 and attached antennas will help
mitigate the buildup of static charge that may cause damage to
the reader.
Use these guidelines when grounding the IF2:
• Connect the IF2 case to earth ground.
• Connect each antenna rear ground plate to a good earth ground with a lowresistance wire or braid.
IF2 Network Reader 9
Establish the earth ground connection by attaching a ground wire or braid to one
of the mounting nuts next to the data interface connectors or to any antenna terminal. The base of the IF2 case is magnesium and this surface will NOT provide
adequate grounding.
How to Provide Adequate Heat Sinking
The IF2 contains thermal protection to prevent it from being damaged by operation
at high temperatures. This protection disables the transmitter if it gets too hot. The
IF2 will not overheat in most cases if the ambient temperature is cooler than 40
ºF).
(104
Adding a heat sink to the rear plate of the IF2 may provide adequate cooling to
allow continuous reading operation in high temperature environments, such as
what you might encounter inside of an unventilated enclosure. Periodic external
triggering of the IF2 to read tags will help keep the internal temperatures low
enough to operate without an additional heat sink.
Note: Make sure you provide adequate heat sinking in high temperature environments if
you intend to leave the IF2 reading tags continuously. If you externally trigger the IF2
to read a tag for two seconds every 30 seconds, it will not require additional heat
sinking.
