Quick Start

Introduction

This chapter provides a Quick Start setup demonstration.

Quick Start Demonstration

The Quick Start demonstration offers a simple, temporary way to quickly set up the reader and read tags. The demonstration includes:
Step 1, Setup on page 8
Step 2, Connecting to the Reader on page 9
Step 3, First Time / Start-Up Login on page 10
Step 4, Set Region on page 11
Step 5, Read Tags on page 13

Step 1, Setup

For information on complete component kits available from Zebra, see Technical Specifications.
1. Unpack the reader. See Unpacking the Reader on page 19.
2. Place the reader on a desktop.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. See Figure 1.
NOTE: The factory default for the reader is DHCP enabled. This Quick Start procedure is not guaranteed to
work if DHCP is disabled in the reader and if the reader is connected directly to a PC.
4. To connect to power:
When using an AC power supply, connect the AC power supply to a power outlet and connect to the power
port.
When using PoE+, plug the Ethernet cable into the PoE+ injector.
5. Wait for the green power LED to stay lit, boot up time is approximately 60 seconds. See System Start-up/Boot
LED Sequence on page 30 for additional boot-up details.

Step 2, Connecting to the Reader

To connect via host name:
1. Open a browser. The minimum browser recommendations are IE11 (disabling Compatibility View is
recommended), Chrome v58, and FireFox v54.
2. Enter the host name followed by the last three octets of the MAC, provided on a label on the reader, in the
browser (For example, for an ATR7000 MAC address of 0023683BA63A, use the prefix ATR7000, followed by 3BA63A. Enter http://ATR70003BA63A in the browser address bar) and press Enter. The User Login window appears and the reader is ready.
NOTE: Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the network
can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register host names through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in both the PC and in the reader, although it is not guaranteed that host name will work all the time. Use the host name printed on the reader label, or construct it using the reader MAC address on the bottom of the reader.

Unpacking the Reader

Remove the reader from the shipping container and inspect it for damage. Keep the shipping container, it is the approved shipping container and should be used if the reader needs to be returned for servicing.
19
Installation and Communication

Installing the ATR7000 in an Open Ceiling

WARNING: Do not install the ATR7000 in an Environmental Air Handling Space (EAHS).
Depending on the site truss configuration, the ATR7000 can be mounted directly to the truss, or to a strut channel secured to the trusses.

Required Equipment

ATR7000 reader
Telescoping pole mounting kit (multiple length ranges available).
NOTE: Mounting pole must be UL certified model rated to support 12 lb min. load.
Additional Equipment (Not Included, Dependent on Installation Requirements)
SK5500-SR0 adapter kit, includes VESA bracket, nest, hand mount, and mounting screws
Tools Required
Level
Laser length measuring device
Lift platform
Set of wrenches and screw drivers
Beam clamps (varied based on I-beam types)
Miscellaneous: gloves, ties, extra hardware as needed.

Installation Options

The ATR7000 reader is designed to be installed overhead at a typical height (off the floor) between 12’ and 18’. Select one of the following three options for mounting the ATR7000 that best suits the installation environment:
Installing Directly on the Truss on page 21
Installing Using a Strut Channel Clamped to the Bottom of the Truss on page 22
Installing Using a Strut Channel and Threaded Rods Clamped to the Top of the Truss on page 23
After selecting the installation configuration, proceed to Mounting the ATR7000 on page 24.
20
Installation and Communication

Installing Directly on the Truss

For locations with high ceilings where the bottom of the trusses are at least 14 ft from the floor, ATR7000 devices can be mounted directly to the truss using UL certified mounting pole (not included).
NOTE: Refer to the site survey report for the proper mounting height of each ATR7000. In general, this is 12 ft
from the bottom of the device to the floor.

Installation and Communication

Installing Using a Strut Channel Clamped to the Bottom of the Truss

For locations with high ceilings where the bottom of the trusses are at least 15' 3" from the floor and where the ATR7000 cannot be located directly under a truss, add a strut channel to the lower section of two trusses and mount the ATR7000 on the strut channel.
NOTE: Refer to the site survey report for the proper mounting height of each. In general, this is 12‘
from the bottom of the device to the floor.
Figure 12 Installing the ATR7000 Using a Strut Channel
Secure the strut channel to two trusses using beam clamps appropriate for the installation. Refer to the instructions provided with the beam clamp used.
22
Installation and Communication

Installing Using a Strut Channel and Threaded Rods Clamped to the Top of the Truss

For an alternative configuration using a strut channel, mount the strut channel to the top of the truss using threaded rods and beam clamps, and mount the ATR7000 on the strut channel.
NOTE: Refer to the site survey report for the proper mounting height of each. In general, this is 12 ft from the
bottom of the device to the floor.
Figure 13 Installing the ATR7000 to the Top of the Truss
23
Installation and Communication

Mounting the ATR7000

1. Turn the center collar on the telescoping pole to expose the lower portion of the pole, and then turn the collar
back to tighten it.
2. Attach the ATR7000 unit to the lower portion of the pole using the fasteners shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Only use mounting hardware included with certified mounting pole.

3. Attach the telescoping pole to the truss or strut channel according to manufacturer recommendations.
4. Adjust the length of the telescoping pole to accommodate the ATR7000 height per the site survey report.
5. Level the telescoping pole to accommodate the angle of the truss, if necessary.
6. Drive the self-tapping screw (included with pole hardware) into the pole approximately 1/2" above the collar,
locking the pole. Remove any cables from the pole before fastening this screw.
NOTE: Pole adjustment instructions are included for reference only. Always follow the mounting and
adjustment instructions provided with the certified mounting pole.

VESA Mounting

The VESA mount is an accessory to enable the ATR7000 installation using VESA-75 or VESA-100 standard patterns. The ATR7000 may optionally be mounted via four VESA holes on 100 mm x 100 mm and 75 mm x 75 mm patterns using M4 screws, that have been provided with the VESA support you are mounting to. Make sure VESA support is rated to support a 12 lb min. load. Mount the VESA Mount Adapter to the ATR7000 using the two mounting screws provided with the ATR7000.
26
Installation and Communication
Figure 20 VESA Mount Adapter

Communications and Power Connections

Use a standard Ethernet connection or PoE + Ethernet to connect the ATR7000 RFID reader to a host or network.

Ethernet Connection

The reader communicates with the host using an Ethernet connection (10/100Base-T Ethernet cable). This connection allows access to the With a wired Ethernet connection (10/100Base-T cable), power the ATR7000 RFID reader using either the reader Zebra AC power supply, or by POE+ through the Ethernet cable.
Ethernet: Power through AC Outlet
The ATR7000 RFID reader communicates to the host through a 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable and receives power through a Zebra AC power supply.
