About the product
The IDX-4000 f our por t UHF RFID reader is an intelligent, highly integrated UHF RFID t ag reader . The
IDX-4000 is the hardware foundation for all Tyco RFID solutions and connects to Tyco’s Loss Prevention and
Inventory Repor ting platforms, True V UE and Shrink Manag e m ent as a Service (SMaaS). The IDX-4000 also
supports industry standard Low Level Rea der Pr otocol (LLRP) for directly managed RFID reader control. The
IDX-4000 UHF RFID reader delivers real-time tag data when processing Gen2-compliant tags.
Order the IDX-4000 UHF RFID reader using the f oll owing part numbers:
• IDX-4000-N1: For use in North America. This kit includes a univ ersal power supply with a US power
cord, and a USB cable.
• IDX-4000-E1: For use in the EU. This ki t i ncl udes a USB cable and a universal powe r supply. You must
order a power cord se parately.
• IDX-4000-W1: For a list of countries t hat use the W1 part number, see Table 5. This kit includes a USB
cable and a universal power supply. You must order a power cord separately.
• IDX-4000-W2: For the list a list of countries that use the W2 part number, see Table 5. This kit i ncludes
a USB cable and a universal power supply. You must order a power cord separately.
RF connections
For information on the Radio Frequency (RF) connections and the power input connector on the IDX-4000
UHF RDIF reader, see Figure 1 and Table 1.
To connect an antenna to the reader, complete the following steps:
Important: For the readers to automatically detect the antennas, the antennas must have 10kΩ resistance
sensed at the RF port .
1. Using a screw-on RP-SMA connector, connect the antenna cable to an available RF output port.
2. Tighten the SMA connector using an SMA torque wrench to 1 newton-meter or 8-pound inch to secure
the reader. A loose connection can compromise the performance of the reader.
Important: Do not over tighten the SMA connector. Overtightening the connector causes permanent
damag e on t h e reader and the cable.

Use a thin object such as a straightened paper clip to press the recessed configuration access
switch to restore the reader to a factory default configuration file.
To restore t he reader to a factory default con figuration file, press and hold the switch for 10
seconds until the Status LED turns green, and then release the s witch. Within 10 sec onds,
press and release the switch again to confirm the update. The LED turns off, the default
settings load, and the reader reb oots.
Use this port to connect the r eader to an Ethernet network or a local PC using an Ethernet
cable with a RJ-45 connector. The port acts like a network switch, and uses Auto-MDIX to
automatically negotiate the highest possible data rate.
Optionally, this port accepts PoE connections to power the reader. You must use an Ethernet
switch that provides PoE or a PoE injector to provide the power. The reader supports the
following PoE standards:
• IEEE 802.3af: Limits reader RF power to a maximum of 27dBm.
• IEEE 802.3at: Provides full reader functionality including reader RF power to a maximum of
30dBm.
Important: The reader does not allow the USB and the GPIO ports to draw current when it
connects to an 802.3af supply.
Use this port to connect the r eader to an Ethernet network or a local PC using an Ethernet
cable with a RJ-45 connector. The Ethernet 1 port (C) and the Ethernet 2 port (B) are
connec ted t o an Ethernet Layer 2 switch.
This USB host port supports USB, type A connector, peripherals, for example, a portable USB
memory device.
This USB device port supports USB, type B connectors. The port implements Ethernet over
USB utilizing th e Remote Network Driver Interface (RNDIS). Most versions of Microsoft®
Windows®, Linux®, and FreeBSD® support RNDIS. Connecting the reader to a PC using this
port creates a 2-node private Ether net network that you can use to control and configure the
reader.
Sensor m at i c pr o du c t s. This enables the reader to share data with the connected systems. The
RS-485 connectors use RJ-45 plugs. Do not force the connectors into the reader when
connec ting the cables.
If the IDX-4000 reader is considered the primary RS-485 controller on the network, a
termination enable plug (TEP) is required in the second RS-485 port.
Important: Do not connect Ethernet cables to this port.
Use this port to connect the r eader to a peripheral device such as a relay or indic ator. Use a
female DE-9 connector to connect to this port. This port is al so used for RS-232
communications for specialized applications.
Accessing the reader
To access the rea der’s web browser interface using the Ethernet 2 / Power over Ethernet (PoE), Ethernet 1,
or USB B device ports, complete the following steps:
1. Connect your laptop to the reader usi ng the necessary port on the reader.
2. Launch a web browser, and enter one of the following default IP addresses:
• For Ethernet 2 / Power over Ethernet ( PoE ) or Ethernet 1 port connections, enter
192.168.100.100 / 24
• For USB B device port connections, ent er 192.168.169.1

Mounting the reader
To mount the IDX-4000 UHF RFID reader on a surface, complete the followi ng steps:
CAUTION: Observe the mi nimum bend radiu s s p ecified for th e a ssociated ant enna cable when
the cable must change direction. A crushed or kinked antenna cable may impair reader
performance.
1. Locate an area to mount the reader, and position the reader on the surface.
Note: An ideal mounting surface can conti nuously conduct heat away from the reader case.
2. Ensure a minim um clear ance of 10 centimeters (4 inches) of space around all exposed reader surfaces
for ventilation.
3. Determine the cor rect mounting bracket orientation for the installation site. If necessary, change the
orientation of the mounting bracket by compl eting the following ste ps:
Note: Use the bracket-in orientation in space constrained environments. Use the bracket-out orientation
when you need to conduct heat away from the reader. For the mounting bracket orientations, see
Figure 3.
a. Use a Phillips screwdriver t o remove the screws that attach t he brackets to the reader.
b. Reverse the brackets, and then reinsert the screws.
c. Tighten the scre ws to secure the bracket in place.
4. Use the mounting bra cket as a template and mark the mounting holes on the surface.
5. Remove the reader, a nd at t he locations that you marked, dri ll four mounting holes.
6. Position the reader over the four mounting holes, and secure the reader using fasteners appropria te for
its 0.5 kilogra m (1. 1 pound) weight, the mounting surface, and any other present conditions, for example,
vibration.
Note: You can use M4 (#8) fasteners, or similar screws.
