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.

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.

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.
