1. Installation and Usage Guide

About this Guide
This installation and usage guide explains how to install the V750 reader, how to use the browser-based interface, and how to control the reader remotely.

1.1 Before You Begin

1.1.1 Installation Requirements
The reader is shipped with DC cable whose length is 2.9m (9.6ft).
Use only authorized antennas and cables to conform to the local laws and regulations.
Provide strain relief for all reader connections.
The minimum screw size for mounting the reader is M4. Use suitable wall anchors when mounting to
drywall or masonry whose thickness is 16mm or more.(Refer to 1.4.1 Install the reader)
A Shielded Ethernet cable must be used to communicate with other devices.
Multiple readers and antennas can be used in combination to enhance detectability at specific locations
provided the software application is able to synchronize antenna operation.
1.1.2 Performance Considerations
Reader performance may be affected by external factors including tag variables and environment.
Performance tests conducted under typical operating conditions at your site are recommended to help you to optimize system performance.
Tag Variables
There are several variables associated with tags that can affect reader performance:
Application surface — Some materials interfere with tag performance including metal and moisture. Tags applied to items made from or containing these materials may not perform as expected.
Tag orientation — Reader performance is affected by the orientation of the tag in the antenna field.
Tag model — many tag models are available. Each model has its own performance characteristics (refer to
Chapter 2.5).
Environment
Reader performance may be affected by the following:
Metal surfaces such as desks, filing cabinets, bookshelves, and waste cans may enhance or degrade reader performance.
Mount antennas as far as possible from metal surfaces that are adversely affecting system performance.
Devices that operate at 900 MHz, such as cordless phones and wireless LANs, can interfere with reader performance. These devices may degrade performance of the reader. The reader may also adversely affect performance of 900 MHz devices.
Antennas operating in close proximity may interfere with one another, thus degrading reader performance.
14 of 135 ©
Interference from other antennas may be eliminated or reduced by using either one or both of the following strategies:
Affected antennas may be synchronized by a separate user application using a time-multiplexing strategy.
Antenna power can be reduced by reconfiguring the RF Transmit Power setting for the reader.

18 of 135
1.3.3 Setting the reader RF Power
During initial installation, the reader must be properly configured to use the correct RF power. DO NOT increase the power beyond the recommended power setting as calculated below.
The maximum RF power is determined from antenna gain and antenna cable loss using the formula:
Maximum RF power = 35dBm (3.28W e.i.r.p 2W e.r.p) - Antenna Gain + Cable Loss
For example, if the antenna has a maximum gain of 6 dBi, and the cable has a minimum loss of 1.5 dB, the maximum RF power that may be set is (35 – 6.0 + 1.5) = 30.5 dBm.
The reader RF Power is set through the Communication Settings Page as described on Page107.
Recommended Power Settings

3. Connect the reader to the network by plugging a Shielded Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
or
Connect the reader to a PC (personal computer) by plugging a crossover Shielded Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
Note: If DHCP is to be used, then the network and server must be connected before powering up the reader. If a DHCP server is not found, the reader will fall back to the static IP address:
Default IP address: 192.168.1.200 (Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.1.254)
4. Plug the power adapter provided with the reader into the DC power input connector. Then connect the AC
power cord to a power outlet.
While the reader is powering up, the Power indicator is lighting. After the reader finishes its power-on self­test, approximately 5 seconds, 'RUN' indicator will turn on. The reader is now ready for operation.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT disconnect power during startup. Disconnecting power while booting the V750 reader may result in improper startup.
