Introduction
FX7400 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

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

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.
The green power LED remains lit after successful installation.
NOTE This step is not required for networks supporting
Power-over-Ethernet (POE).

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 hostnames 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
FX7400, followed by the last six characters of the MAC
address. For example, for a MAC address of
0023683BA63A, use the prefix FX7400, followed by
3BA63A. Enter http://FX74003BA63A in the browser
address bar to access the reader.
