xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations Guide2 IntroductionThe xArray/xSpan Gateways are xed infrastructure RFID reader systems that provides always-on, wide-area monitoring of RAIN RFID tagged items (http://www.rainrfid.org). The xAr-ray/xSpan Gateways are designed for large-scale item-level applications in many industries. ThexArray provides real-time Item Intelligence events, including each item’s identity, location, andauthenticity. The xSpan’s small size is optimal for mounting on walls or in gateways to monitortag movement through doors or portals.Key features and capabilities of your new Impinj RFID Gateway include:• A single xArray can monitor up to 1,500 ft2(139 m2) using Monza R6 based tags (1,000 ft2(93 m2) for xSpan).• Intelligent item locating using xArray with 5 ft (1.5 m) or better spatial resolution of (x,y)location.• Low prole design ts into standard ceiling tile grid and blends into decor.• Maximum transmit power and performance is achieved by using IEEE 802.3af PoE. Thereis no need for optional AC to DC power module.• Easy programming using Octane SDK, LLRP and Impinj extensions. Either Gateway con-tains a SpeedwayR RFID reader that allows you to use all of the same software tools andLLRP API, with additional extensions specic to xArray/xSpan.version 5.8.0 10

xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations Guide5 Powering and ConnectingThis section describes how to provide power and establish network connectivity to the xAr-ray/xSpan Gateways.5.1 Supplying PowerYou have two choices for powering the Gateway products:• IEEE 802.3af (Power over Ethernet) compliant source• Listed/certied power supply, marked LPS or Class 2, with 24Vdc output, rated minimum2.5ANote: xArray/xSpan operates at the Class 3 limit for POE power, and requires that the maximumresistance of the Ethernet cable is 10 Ohms or less (for 100 meter length cable). For a list of cablesthat meet xArray/xSpan requirements, see Table 5.1.Table 5.1 Cat 5e/6 Cable That Meets RequirementsCable Description Product Information100 meter cable< 10 Ohm•http://belkinbusiness.com/products/a7j304-1000-blu-cat5e-stranded-bulk-cable-4pr24awg-1000-blue•http://www.southwire.com/ProductCatalog/XTEInterfaceServlet?contentKey=prodcatsheetcat5e•http://resources.tessco.com/attachments/516583_4656914_10_5EN5_BLUE_CPK.aspx.pdf•http://www.alphawire.com/en/Products/Cable/Xtra-Guard-Performance-Cable/Xtra-Guard-Industrial-Ethernet/76020•http://www.alphawire.com/en/Products/Cable/Xtra-Guard-Performance-Cable/Xtra-Guard-Industrial-Ethernet/76050 meter cable< 10 Ohm•http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1311844.pdfWith either option, the boot sequence begins when power is supplied to the Gateway. This sequencetypically completes within 30 seconds. Once the boot sequence nishes, the Gateway acceptscommands, but not before. The Power and Status LEDs on the Gateway alert you of the status.version 5.8.0 23
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations GuideNote, on Cisco Catalyst series switches the Ethernet POE port will automatically disable itself ifthe reader has a listed/certied power supply connected. In this situation, the Cisco port must beset to POE = “never”, using the following Cisco conguration commands.In this example slot 5, port 2 is being set to POE = “never”.Switch# congure terminalSwitch(cong)# interface fastethernet 5/2Switch(cong-if)# power inline neverSwitch(cong-if)# endSwitch#! Important: We recommend that you do not connect both a POE and a listed/certiedpower supply to xArray/xSpan. If the Gateway device is receiving power via PoE and detectsthat an listed/certied power supply has been connected, the Gateway reboots and switches tothe listed/certied power supply source. If, however, the Gateway is receiving power via anlisted/certied power supply and detects the connection to a PoE-enabled network switch, noth-ing changes. The Gateway continues to receive power from the listed/certied power supply. Thelisted/certied power supply always takes precedence over PoE because the listed/certied powersupply is capable of higher power if both sources are connected.5.2 Connecting to a TCP/IP NetworkThe xArray/xSpan internal processor runs Linux OS, which oers robust network support. Whenyou want to establish TCP/IP network connectivity for deployment or out-of-box evaluation youhave a range of options, including:• Either Gateway by default are congured to use DHCP. The default host name is xarray-XX-XX-XX or xspan-XX-XX-XX, where XX-XX-XX is the last three bytes of the Gateway’sMAC address. The large label on the side of the xArray radome (optional on xSpan), providesthese three bytes. Alternately, you can read the MAC address directly from the product labelon the mounting side of the Gateway.• If you don’t have a DHCP server, OR when the PC is connected directly to the device viaEthernet cable, the Gateway defaults to a xed IP address, 169.254.1.1. If this address isnot available, the device then randomly selects a xed IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxxlink local address range.• You can congure xArray/xSpan to a xed IP address. This option requires congurationvia SSH session over TCP/IP, or a serial connection via console port in order to accessxArray/xSpan’s command line interface (Rshell). For more information about using RShellto congure network settings, see section 5.1.2.version 5.8.0 24
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations Guide5.3 Verifying Network ConnectivityAfter the Gateway device is powered and on a TCP/IP network, verify that the left-most LED isGREEN and the second to the left LED is BLINKING GREEN on the radome for xArray or thesingle LED on xSpan is blinking Blue. The next step is to access Gateway’s Management web pageto verify connectivity and to see the status of the device. To Browse to the xArray/xSpanManagement Web Page• From a PC or Mac on the same TCP/IP network, use your browser of choice to browseto the Management web page using the web address http://xarray-XX-XX-XX or http:/xspan-XX-XX-XX, where XX-XX-XX is the last three bytes of the MAC address.• Alternately, you can use the IP address of the Gateway. You might know the IP addressbecause the Gateway was congured to a xed IP address, or it was determined by using aconsole port RShell session, or because you discovered the IP address that was assigned byyour DHCP router. For these cases, use the web address http://<IP address of Gateway>.Notes:• If you are not on an enterprise network, you might need to add .local to the address. Forexample:http://xarray-XX-XX-XX.localor http://<IP address>.local• Either Gateway supports the discovery of the host name by using Bonjour Print Services.If your DHCP server doesn’t resolve the Gateway host name, you might have to installBonjour on your Windows PC. You can download Bonjour Print Services from http://support.apple.com/kb/dl999.When you have successfully opened the Gateway internal web page, you should see a dialog boxwhere you can enter the user name and password. Use the xArray/xSpan’s default user name andpassword:user name: rootpassword: impinjNote: For more information about changing the default password, see the RShell Reference Man-ual.version 5.8.0 25

Rather than enabling individual beams, wholesectors are enabled or disabled. Direction mode will report when a tag enters a sector, updateswithin a sector, and exits a sector, giving users the ability to know if tags have transitioned fromone sector to another (and therefore from one physical area to another), or have transitioned outof range of the xArray or xSpan.version 5.8.0 37
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations GuideFigure 6.10 Direction ResultsThe xArray has 9 sectors, and each sector is congured like a slice in an 8 piece pizza. Startingwith the sector 2 slice, the sector number increases by one when walking the pizza in a clockwisefashion. Sector 1 is a special piece, in the center. With the xArray, it is not valid to enable twoadjacent sectors, and it’s also not possible to disable sector 1. The xArray rule for adjacent sectorsdoes not apply for the xSpan, which only has 3 sectors, which are arranged in a line, with sector1 in the center. The selected direction sectors for the xSpan in ItemTest are not congurable.Product By Product Feature Support for ItemTestThe following table identies which ItemTest features are supported by each specic Gatewaydevice:Table 6.1 Feature to Product Tableversion 5.8.0 38

xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations Guide7 Conguring and MonitoringThis section provides a view of the conguration and monitoring options available for the Gateway.7.1 Conguring the GatewayThere are two categories of Gateway conguration, conguring the device itself and conguringthe Gateway’s RF behavior. This chapter provides the basics for each type of conguration.7.1.1 Device CongurationRShell is the command line management interface to use for conguring and managing networksettings, rmware upgrades, and other device-oriented operations. This chapter introduces theRShell commands you can use to install and connect the Gateway. The RShell Reference Manualprovides full details and syntax for all RShell commands.7.1.2 Using RShell to Congure Network SettingsYou can often get up and running with little or no conguration by using the default congurationsettings in your Gateway device. If you are not using DHCP to assign IP addresses, you will needto congure a few of the Gateway’s network settings. The following procedure outlines the RShellcommands you might need to connect the Gateway to your network.To congure the network settings:1. Open the RShell console as described in section 5.4.2. View the Gateway’s current conguration settings by entering the show network summarycommand at the RShell command prompt, as shown in the following code sample:> show network summaryStatus='0,Success'PrimaryInterface='eth:eth0'ActiveInterface='eth:eth0'Hostname='xarray-10-46-B2'connectionStatus='Connected'ipAddressMode='Dynamic'ipAddress='10.0.11.27'ipMask='255.255.0.0'gatewayAddress='10.0.0.10'version 5.8.0 40
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations GuidebroadcastAddress='10.0.255.255'MACAddress='00:16:25:10:46:B2'LLAStatus='enabled'HTTPService='active'>3. Congure the appropriate TCP/IP parameters for your environment. The applicable com-mands are:• Setting Hostname>cong network hostname <HOSTNAME>• Setting Static IP Address>cong network ip static <IP ADDRESS> <NETMASK> <GATEWAY>Note: The IP address is required; the other parameters are optional. The default value isused if an optional parameter is omitted from the ip command.• Enabling DHCP>cong network ip dynamic• Conguring NTP Servers>cong network ntp add <NTP SERVER ADDRESS>4. After successfully conguring all required network settings, connect the xArray/xSpan to thenetwork via its Ethernet port.7.1.3 RF CongurationHow you congure your Gateway’s RF behavior depends entirely on your implementation approach.You might be using a custom software application, middleware running on a server, or some otherapproach. ItemTest, described in Section 5, is an example of a PC client application used forimplementation. Regardless of the application you are using, the underlying protocol is the sameLow-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP).LLRP is a standard, asymmetric, binary protocol used for communication between a client ap-plication and the xArray. LLRP controls the conguration of the antenna transmit power (inInventory mode), the receive sensitivity, the operating Gateway, and so on. For more informationabout LLRP, see the the following documents:•LLRP Standard: This document provides the specics of the EPCglobal-ratied LLRP stan-dard. http://www.epcglobalinc.org/standards/llrp/llrp_1_0_1-standard-20070813.pdfversion 5.8.0 41
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations Guide•Octane LLRP: Provides details of the LLRP capabilities that are supported by Impinj Read-ers and Gateways. It also describes custom LLRP extensions added by Impinj.•LTK Programmer’s Guide: This document is intended for software engineers and providesguidelines and best practices for working with the LLRP Toolkit. In addition, softwareengineers can access language-specic reference guides and sample applications that illustratethe scenarios discussed in the LTK Programmer’s Guide.If you are a .NET or Java programmer, Impinj oers two dierent, easy to use Octane SDKsthat simplify programming, with no need to learn LLRP. For Linux, a Java-based Octane SDK isavailable. For Windows, there is a .NET Octane SDK.7.2 MonitoringUse RShell to monitor the xArray/xSpan health and performance when the device is up andrunning. This section presents the primary RShell commands for viewing the network and RFIDstatistics, as well as the xArray/xSpan logs. For more information about these commands, see theRShell Reference Manual.Either Gateway also supports industry standard SNMP, with MIB2 and EPCglobal Gateway Man-agement MIB. For more information, see the Octane SNMP Guide.7.2.1 Viewing Network Parameters and StatisticsUse the RShell show network command to display networking parameters and statistics. Usethis command with the indicated parameters to view the following information:>show network <parameter>Table 7.1: “show network” Command ParametersParameter Displayed Informationdhcp Summary of DHCP client congurationdhcp Summary of DNS settingsicmp ICMP statisticsip IP statisticsntp Summary of NTP settingssummary Summary of network settingsversion 5.8.0 42

For the full list of statistics, as wellas syntax details, see the RShell Reference Manual.Note: View Statistics for the LLRP interface between the xArray and a client by entering theshow rd llrp stat command. For more information, see the RShell Reference Manual.7.2.3 Conguring and Viewing LogsxArray/xSpan uses the standard Syslog protocol to forward its logged events to a remote Syslogserver. The Gateway stores the logged events in its le system, accumulating and retaining thisinformation across reboots. Logs are classied into three categories:• Management• RFID• SystemAll logged events have an associated severity level. There are eight possible levels listed in decreas-ing order from most severe to least severe:1. Emergency2. Alert3. Critical4. Error5. Warning6. Notice7. Info8. DebugCongure the log levels you want to display. The Gateway then retains only the events with aseverity greater than or equal to the congured level. For example, if you choose a logging levelof Warning, then the logs will contain the following levels: Warning, Error, Critical, Alert, andEmergency.Note: Regardless of the congured log level, the xArray/xSpan always retains logs of events withError level or higher in an independent log.Use the RShell cong logging command to congure options for the storage and forwarding oflogged events.>cong loggingversion 5.8.0 44
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations GuideUse the show logging command to display the logging conguration as well as the actual loggedinformation in text form. For details about these commands, see the RShell Reference Manual.Use the following command to show a summary of the current logging levels:>show logging summary7.2.4 Viewing the State of the Gateway DeviceTo display information about the current state of the Gateway device itself, use the RShell showsystem command.>show systemUse this command to view the following statistics:•show system summary - A summary of system information.•show system CPU - Platform memory usage and available application space•show system platform - Generic platform statisticsFor more details about the show system command, see the RShell Reference Manual.version 5.8.0 45
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations Guide8 Upgrading the Gateway FirmwarexArray or xSpan contains rmware known as Octane. This chapter describes the process of man-ually upgrading a single device.In addition to supporting upgrade procedures, either Gateway also provides methods for revertingrmware to a previous valid image and restoring rmware to factory default settings. The pro-cedure for reverting to the previous valid image is explained in this section, while the process ofreturning to factory defaults is described in Section 8.2.8.1 A Brief Overview of the FirmwareTo minimize downtime and maximize the robust handling of possible upgrade failures, xAr-ray/xSpan contains dual images of its rmware. When requesting a rmware image upgrade, theGateway continues to operate using the primary image. In the background, the device upgradesthe secondary image. When the upgrade completes, the device reboots to the newly upgradedimage. Either Gateway retains the previous rmware version in case there are problems with theupgrade.There are three individual partitions within each rmware image that logically organize the systemsoftware. Although you do not need a full understanding of this architecture to perform a simplemanual upgrade, it is a good idea to be familiar with its structure at a high level. For a morein-depth discussion of the rmware and how rmware is organized, see the Speedway EmbeddedDeveloper’s Guide.The three partitions in rmware are:•System Operating Partition (SOP) - The SOP is the primary system partition of thegateway. It contains the Linux kernel, FPGA rmware, RFID management software, Readermanagement software (RShell), logging management software, rmware upgrade control, sys-tem watchdog software, and the factory default data.•System Persistent Partition (SPP) - Files in this partition are automatically generatedand maintained by the software running on the Gateway. It contains the device conguration(network settings, LLRP conguration, log settings, and so on), device logs, and debuginformation used by Impinj engineers.•Custom Application Partition (CAP) - CAP partition contains custom applicationsoftware, other items required by the custom application (extra libraries or tools, and con-guration les), plus custom application logs.version 5.8.0 46
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations Guide8.2 Upgrading the FirmwarexArray/xSpan provides three methods for upgrading:• Using RShell, the command line interface.• Copying the rmware to a USB memory drive and plugging it into the xArray/xSpan’s hostport.• Using the Impinj Reader Management web page.8.2.1 Upgrading the Firmware using RShellUse this procedure to use RShell to upgrade the rmware.1. Obtain the rmware upgrade le from the Impinj support Web site, support.impinj.com. Theupgrade le extension is .upg. (Example: octane_5_2_0.upg).2. Place the upgrade le on a server (http, tftp, or ftp) that can be accessed by the xAr-ray/xSpan you are upgrading.3. Using the Putty application, connect the Gateway by using telnet, SSH or serial and thatlog in.4. From the RShell command prompt, issue the following command:>cong image upgrade <URI>where <URI> is the server location and name of the upgrade le.For example:> config image upgrade http://usacorp/rfid/gateway/image/octane_5_2_0.upg> config image upgrade ftp://anonymous:abc@myserver/ftpdirecotry/octane_5_2_0.upg.upg> tftp://server/octane_5_2_0.upg5. After starting the upgrade, view the upgrade status at any time by issuing the followingcommand:> **show image summary**6. This command provides a display of the current upgrade status, the last operation, the statusof the last operation, and information about the primary and secondary images. Reissue theshow image summary command if you want to track the upgrade status. Some statusvalues you might see are:version 5.8.0 47
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations GuideWaitingForImageFileTransferWaitingForCommitImageWaitingToActivateImmediateThe upgrade is complete when the UpgradeStatus parameter value is Ready.The LastOperation parameter should be set to WaitingToActivateImmediate.The LastOperationStatus should be WaitingForManualReboot.7. Reboot the Gateway by issuing the following command:>rebootThe Gateway reboot process displays messages in the RShell console as it goes through each stageof the process. The reboot completes, then the gateway login prompt displays on the console. TheGateway status light displays solid green. The behavior details of the xArray reboot LEDs areprovided in xArray product Tour.8.2.2 Upgrading the Firmware with a USB DriveObtain the rmware upgrade le from the Impinj support Web site, support.impinj.com. Theupgrade le extension is .upg. (Example: octane_5_2_0.upg). This upgrade process has twosteps, preparing the USB drive for upgrade, and then using the USB drive to upgrade the rmware.To Prepare the USB Drive for Upgrade1. Insert a USB drive into your computer.2. Create an impinj directory in the root of the USB drive along with the subdirectories revo-lution, upgrade, and images. The names of the directory are case sensitive and must all belower case.3. Copy the desired rmware upgrade .upg le into the \\impinj\\revolution\\upgrade\\images\\directory.Note: If multiple .upg les exist in the images directory, the xArray/xSpan will use themost recently modied le.4. Remove the USB drive from your computer.To Upgrade By Using the USB Driveversion 5.8.0 48
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations Guide1. Conrm that the Gateway is ready for upgrade, with both the Power and Status LEDsilluminated.2. Insert the USB drive into the “USB Host” port on the xArray/xSpan. Within 5-10 seconds,the Gateway will begin upgrading the device and the Power LED will blink amber. If thePower LED remains solid green, the Gateway likely cannot locate the images directory and.upg le on the USB drive.3. The upgrade process completes in 20-60 seconds and then the Power LED will change tosolid green.4. Remove the USB drive from the USB Host port and reboot the Gateway.During the upgrade process, the Gateway will attempt to append information to a status.log lein the impinj\\revolution\\upgrade directory. The status.log le is intended to provide an audittrail for the upgrade of one or more xArrays/xSpans.If the rmware upgrade process fails, the Power LED will blink red. If this happens, remove theUSB drive, reboot the xArray/xSpan, and check the status.log le for the reason of the failure.8.2.3 Upgrading the rmware through the Impinj Management Web UIYou can also upgrade the rmware by accessing the Impinj Reader Management web page, andrunning the upgrade from the management web page.1. Connect to the Gateway using a web browser http://<gateway name or IP address>. Ex-amples: http://speedwayr-10-00-DD or http://10.0.10.44.2. Log in to the xArray/xSpan using the default user name and password:user name: rootpassword: impinj3. Click Choose File, and then select the rmware upgrade .upg le.4. Click Upgrade5. After the upgrade is complete, click Reboot.version 5.8.0 49

We recommend resetting to thedefault conguration. Then try your Gateway again.! Important: Conguration Default Restore returns the device conguration to its default state.It leaves any custom applications installed in the CAP intact. To restore the device to its defaultstate and remove any CAP contents, use Factory Default Restore. for additional information, seethe Warning in this section.There are two ways to return Gateway device to its defaults:• Issue an RShell command.• Push the Default Restore button on the device.To use RShell to return the device to its default conguration and leave CAP intact1. At the RShell prompt, enter the following command:>cong image defaultWhen the command completes successfully, the device automatically reboots and returns tothe login prompt.2. Log in to the Gateway. The Gateway is now running with the default conguration. CAPapplications are intact.version 5.8.0 52
xArray/xSpan Installation and Operations GuideTo use the Default Restore button on the xArray/xSpan to restore to its defaultconguration1. Use an object with a sharp tip, such as a probe or paper clip, to press and hold the DefaultRestore button on the back of the Gateway while the Gateway is powered on.2. Continue holding the Default Restore button for 3 seconds after the Power LED light turnso, but not longer than 10 seconds.3. Release the Default Restore button when the LED blinks red once. The xArray/xSpanwill boot up normally with the default conguration.1. Default Restore Button: Insert and hold sharp point here for 3 seconds. Release before 10seconds.Figure 9.1 Default Restore Buttonversion 5.8.0 53
