169.254.10.102, and the reader is reachable at the IP address 169.254.10.1.
Sample Implementation
This implementation assumes that only one FX7500 reader is connected to a host PC via USB. This feature
does not function with multiple readers connected to the host. Zebra recommends disabling any other network
interface on the PC.
Use an application that uses RFID3 APIs such as Power Session, or use an LLRP application to connect to the
reader to read tags.
1. The primary RFID server connects to the FX7500 via the Ethernet interface.
2. The host PC connects to the FX7500 via the USB port. An application on the host PC monitors
communication between the primary RFID server and FX7500 reader.
3. When the application on the host PC detects a communication failure between the primary RFID server
and the reader, it connects to and controls the reader using the USB virtual interface.
