GUIDE
ALR-9650
December 2007
1. Place the PC, reader, and secondary antenna (if used) on a
tabletop near an AC outlet.
CAUTION: Set up the reader and antenna so they are at least 9
inches away from the any person who will be in range of the RF
signal for prolonged periods. (See full FCC caution on back page.)
NOTE: When you are not actively using the reader, we recommend
deactivating the reader to prevent unnecessary transmission of RF
energy.
2. Connect the straight-through Ethernet cable from the reader to the
Power over Ethernet (PoE) “LAN+DC” power supply connector.
3. Connect a second straight-through Ethernet cable from the PoE
supply “LAN” connector to a nearby LAN drop or network switch.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the PC from a
nearby LAN drop or network switch.
Alternatively, for direct connections to a laptop or PC (vs. to a LAN
switch), connect a cross-over Ethernet cable from the PoE “LAN”
connector to the laptop or PC.
5. Connect the secondary antenna coaxial cables (if used) to the
auxiliary antenna port. Only antennae listed in the ALR – 9650
Hardware Setup Guide may be connected to the auxiliary antenna
port.
Screw the fitting from the cable end onto the reader connector
clockwise until finger tight to secure the cable to the reader.
6. Plug the AC power cord into the PoE power supply.
7. Plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet and verify power. The
green LED will be illuminated when power is on.
8. Plug in the PC (if necessary) and turn it on.
10. Launch the desired host software application (such as the Alien
RFID Gateway).
