Introduction

FX7500 Series readers provide real time, seamless tag processing for EPC
Class1 Gen2 compliant tags. This Quick Start Guide provides information
about installing and connecting the reader. For more information refer to the
FX Series RFID Readers Integrator Guide, available at:

http://www.zebra.com/support

.

Reader Installation

1. Unpack the reader.

2. Set up the reader and tags on a desktop.

3. Connect the antenna to antenna Port 1.

4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.

Connecting the reader to a subnet that supports DHCP is recommended.
This installation procedure is not guaranteed to work if DHCP is disabled
in the reader and if the reader is connected directly to a PC.

5. Connect the AC power supply to a power outlet and connect to the power

port.

NOTE This step is not required for networks supporting

Power-over-Ethernet (POE).

The green power LED remains lit after successful installation.

Connecting to the Reader

To connect via host name:

1. Open a browser. Recommended browsers are IE10 (disabling

Compatibility View is recommended), Chrome v29, and FireFox 24.

2. Enter the host name, provided on a label on the reader, in the browser

(e.g., http://fx7500cd3b0d) 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.

As an alternative to using the host name on the reader
label, construct it using the reader MAC address on the
bottom of the reader. To do this, enter the prefix FX7500,
followed by the last six characters of the MAC address.
For example, for a MAC address of 0023683BA63A, use
the prefix FX7500, followed by 3BA63A.
Enter http://FX75003BA63A in the browser address bar
to access the reader.

Health and Safety Recommendations

Warning for Use of Wireless Devices

Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.

Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres

You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel
depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
(such as grain, dust, or metal powders).

Safety in Hospitals

Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical

advised to verify that the adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.

Use With Hearing Aids

When some wireless devices are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some
hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and wireless
devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate. In the event of
interference you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.

Other Medical Devices

Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if
the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.

The range of channels is limited by firmware.

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements - FCC

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

•

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Radio Transmitters (Part 15)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements - Canada

CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B)

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Radio Transmitters

This device is in compliance with the NRC for Industry Canada applicable to license­exempt radios. Use is allowed with the following two conditions: (1) the device must not
produce interference, and (2) the device must accept any interference to the radio even
if the interference is likely to compromise operation.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de
l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radio électrique subi même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Label Marking: The Term "IC:" before the radio certification only signifies that Industry
Canada technical specifications were met.

In accordance with the regulations of Industry Canada, this radio transmitter can
operate with an antenna of a type and a maximum gain (or lower) approved for the
transmitter by Industry Canada. With the aim of reducing the risk of radio interference to
other users, the chosen antenna type and its gain should be selected so that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) does not exceed the intensity necessary
for the establishment of a satisfactory connection.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radio électrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse
pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

The FX7500 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types
listed below and having a maximum gain allowable and the impedance required for
each type of antenna. The antenna types not included in this list, or whose gain is higher
than the maximum gain indicated, are strictly prohibited for the operation of the
transmitter.

Le FX7500 a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types
d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance
requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste ou
dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour
l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
