Hardware overview

From left to right:

• Antenna ports (ANT1 - ANT8)
  Female SMA antenna connectors for UHF RFID. The device will automatically detect connected antennas at startup. 
  Always power off the device before connecting or disconnecting any antenna(s)!
• GPIO Ports
  For applications that require inputs or outputs, there are two optocoupler inputs and two optocoupler outputs.
• Powering the device (12V DC/Ethernet)
  There are 2 options to power the device: by using Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) or by using the DC port. The DC connector connects to the bundled 12V DC wall adapter, your own 12V power supply or a 12V battery for mobile operation. Power consumption is below 10W, typically around 8W.
• Ethernet port
  IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet port. Used for connecting the device to the internet and/or powering the device.
• Pinhole button
  The pinhole button can be used in two ways:
  • Resetting the device to it's factory defaults, this is described in: "How to reset the Smartspot to factory defaults"
  • Enabling the web-interface, this is described in: "How to enable and use the Smartspot web interface"
• Status LED
  The status LED will blink when there are RFID Tags present.
