APPENDIX C FTP FIRMWARE UPGRADEIntroductionThis appendix provides reader firmware update information on using the web-based Administrator Console. The following methods are available to update the firmware on the FX7500 reader.•Update using a USB drive.•File-based update that allows uploading the firmware files from the PC (or a network location) to the reader and running the update.•FTP / FTPS / SCP server-based update.Use this procedure to update the following software components:•uboot •OS •Reader Server Application (includes Radio API and Radio firmware)PrerequisitesThe following items are required to perform the update:•Reader with power supply or POE connection•Laptop (or other host computer)•An Ethernet cable•An FTP server •Current firmware file examples: •OSUpdate.elf•response.txt•u-boot_X.X.X.X.bin (uBoot, X.X.X.X is a filename version)•uImage_ X.X.X.X (OS, X.X.X.X is a filename variable)

C - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide•rootfs_ X.X.X.X.jffs2 (Root FileSystem, X.X.X.X is a filename variable)•platform_ X.X.X.X.tar.gz (Platform partition, X.X.X.X is a filename variable) Refer to the release notes to determine which files were updated; not all of the files are updated in every release. Failsafe UpdateFX7500 provides true failsafe firmware update. Each partition (such as OS and platform) has an active and backup partition.The firmware update process always writes the new images to the backup partition. This ensures that any power or network outages in the middle of firmware update does not prevent the reader from being operational. In the case of a firmware update failure, the power LED on the reader lights red.Update PhasesThe firmware update takes place in three phases:•Phase 1 - The reader application retrieves the response.txt and OSUpdate.elf files from the ftp server.•Phase 2 - The reader application shuts down and the OSUpdate starts. The files referenced in the response.txt file are retrieved from the FTP server and written to flash. •Phase 3 - The reader resets after all partitions update successfully. It may also update the RFID firmware if it detects a different version in the platform partition. A typical entry in the Response.txt is:;platform partition-t5 -fplatform_1.1.15.0.tar.gz -s8004561 -u8130879The -t parameter is the file type, -f is the name of the file, and -s the size. Ensure the file size is correct. ";" comments out the rest of the line.NOTE The Application Server, Radio API, and Radio firmware code all reside in the Platform partition.

APPENDIX D STATIC IP CONFIGURATIONIntroductionThis appendix describes three methods of setting the static IP address on an FX7500 RFID Reader.Reader IP Address or Host Name is Known - Set the Static IP Using the Web Console1. Browse the device using the host name, e.g., FX7500CD3B1E.2. Log onto the device. Figure D-1 Reader Administration Console Login Window3. Click Communication.

D - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide4. Set Obtain IP Address via DHCP to Off and enter all required information. Figure D-2 Reader Communication Parameters Window5. Click Set Properties. You can set a static IP that doesn't belong to this DHCP network.6. Click Commit/Discard, then click the Commit button. Figure D-3 Commit/Discard Window7. The message Reader IP Address config has changed. Needs reader reboot to take effect appears. Reset the device and use the reader with the static IP network.

Static IP Configuration D - 3Reader IP is Not Known (DHCP Network Not Available) - Set the Static IP Using the Web Console1. Connect the device and a PC running Windows XP to the same network that doesn't have a DHCP server, or connect the device directly to the PC.2. Ensure both the device and PC Ethernet jack use at least one LED to indicate network connection detect.3. If the PC uses an assigned static IP, update it to use DHCP. The PC obtains an IP that starts with 169. Figure D-4 Obtain IP Address4. When possible, ping the host name of the device. Figure D-5 Ping the Host Name5. Use a browser to connect to the device with the host name, e.g., FX7500CD3B1E, or use the IP address obtained from ping replies (e.g. 169.254.62.74).6. Log onto the device. 7. Click Communication.

APPENDIX F CONNECTING WI-FI AND BLUETOOTH DONGLESIntroductionThis appendix describes how to connect to a wireless network using a USB Wi-Fi dongle on the FX7500, and how to connect to a peer device over Bluetooth using a USB Bluetooth dongle.Connecting to a Wireless Network Using a Wi-Fi DongleTo connect to a wireless network using a USB Wi-Fi dongle on the FX7500:1. Plug the supported wireless dongle into the USB host port on the FX7500. Supported dongles are:•Wi-Fi over USB adapters with Realtek chipset RTL 8187•The following devices were tested:•Alfa AWUS036H, visit http://www.alfa.com.tw/in/front/bin/ptlist.phtml?Category=10541•CCrane Versa Wifi USB Adapter II, visit http://www.ccrane.com/antennas/wifi-antennas/versa-wifi-usb-adapter-II.aspxFigure F-1 USB Host Port Location for DonglePort 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 GPIO 24 VDCUSB Host Port

F - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide2. To confirm that the Wi-Fi dongle is detected properly, log in to the reader Administrator Console. On the Home page ensure the USB Port Status displays Device Connected. Hover the mouse pointer over this link to display the WiFi dongle information shown in Figure F-2. Figure F-2 Wi-Fi Dongle Connected3. Select Communication > Wireless. Figure F-3 Wireless SettingsThe WiFi dongle can connect to the wireless network in one of two ways:•Manually entering the ESSID (if known).•Scanning the current list of APs and choosing the correct one to connect to.

Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles F - 34. Once the APs are scanned, enter the appropriate passkey and enable Connect Automatically (if required to connect to the AP automatically if the connection is lost). Figure F-4 Entering Connect Information5. Select Connect. When the connection to the AP succeeds, an IP is assigned and appears in the IP Address field.Figure F-5 Assigned IP AddressThe reader is now accessible using the wireless IP shown in the IP Address field (157.235.207.24 in this case). The WiFi interface supports dynamic addressing mechanisms for both IPV4 and IPv6. There is no provision to set a static IP address.For wireless IP address details, select Communication > Wi-Fi tab.

F - 4 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator GuideFigure F-6 Wi-Fi Tab - IPV4The reader can also be accessed via Wi-Fi using an IPV6 address if supported by the network to which the API is connected.Figure F-7 Wi-Fi Tab - IPV6

Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles F - 5Connecting to a Peer Device over Bluetooth Using a Bluetooth DongleTo connect to a peer device over Bluetooth using a USB Bluetooth dongle on the FX7500:1. Plug the supported Bluetooth dongle into the USB host port on the FX7500. The following Bluetooth dongles are supported on the FX7500:•Asus Mini Bluetooth Dongle USB-BT211.•MediaLink Bluetooth Dongle MUA-BA3.Figure F-8 USB Host Port Location for Dongle2. To confirm that the Bluetooth dongle is detected properly, log in to the reader Administrator Console. On the Home page ensure the USB Port Status displays Device Connected. Hover the mouse pointer over this link to display the Bluetooth dongle information. Figure F-9 Bluetooth Dongle Connected3. Select Communication > Bluetooth.Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 GPIO 24 VDCUSB Host Port

F - 6 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide4. Change the Discoverable and Pairable properties to On.Figure F-10 Changing Discoverable and Pairable Properties5. Optionally select Use Passkey and enter a passkey to validate the Bluetooth connection. The default passkey for the FX7500 is 0000.6. Discover the reader from a Bluetooth-enabled device (such as a laptop). Use the host name to identify the reader among the discovered devices (e.g., FX7500060C17). 7. After a successful connection, right-click the reader icon (e.g., FX7500060C17) in the list of Bluetooth devices and select Connect using > Ad hoc network. This establishes the network connection for later.Figure F-11 Connecting to the Reader

Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles F - 78. The IP address assigned to the Bluetooth interface is 192.168.XX.XX. The last 2 octets are the last 2 octets of the Bluetooth MAC address (found in the Properties window on the PC once the Bluetooth connection is established). Also find this in the Communication > Bluetooth page. Both IPV4 and IPV6 based IP address are supported for adhoc Bluetooth connection between the reader and the client.Figure F-12 Communication Bluetooth Tab9. Open the web page or sample application to connect to the Bluetooth IP (192.168.67.21 in Figure F-12) and read tags.
