Description
The Honeywell IF2B is a compact, fixed-location UHF RFID network reader designed for IT and operations teams deploying automated identification in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and enterprise environments. Built on a Honeywell-designed RF platform, it delivers reliable passive UHF RFID tag reading and writing across four configurable mono- or bi-static antenna ports, supporting ISO 18000-6B, ISO 18000-6C, and EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 protocols. Power over Ethernet (802.3at compliant) simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate electrical drops, while 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connectivity and support for both LLRP and Honeywell's Basic Reader Interface (BRI) enable seamless integration into existing network infrastructure. An IP53-sealed die-cast magnesium enclosure and an operating temperature range of -25 to 55°C ensure dependable 24/7 performance in demanding industrial conditions.
What RF antenna ports does the Honeywell IF2B Network Reader provide, and how are they configurable?
The IF2B Network Reader has four reverse-polarity TNC antenna ports, each configurable for mono- or bi-static operation, and the reader includes antenna fault detection and auto tuning for best performance.
What power options are available for the Honeywell IF2B Network Reader?
The IF2B can be powered via Power over Ethernet compliant with IEEE 802.3at or through a DC power input of 12 VDC plus or minus 5 percent at 30 W using an optional Honeywell 100/240 VAC converter; both methods support the full RF output power capability of up to 30 dBm.
What passive UHF tag protocols does the Honeywell IF2B Network Reader support?
The IF2B supports ISO 18000-6B, ISO 18000-6C, and EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 protocols, along with tag feature extensions for NXP G2X, Impinj Monza 4QT, and high-memory tags from Fujitsu, Tego, and ATA.
What are the environmental and enclosure ratings for the Honeywell IF2B Network Reader?
The IF2B operates from -25 to 55 degrees C (-13 to 131 degrees F), stores from -30 to 70 degrees C (-22 to 158 degrees F), handles 5 to 95 percent relative humidity non-condensing, and carries an IP53 sealing rating with a die cast magnesium base and Lexan plastic cover.
What application interfaces and management protocols does the Honeywell IF2B Network Reader support for integration into existing enterprise systems?
The IF2B supports EPCglobal LLRP, Honeywell Advanced RFID Extensions (ARX), and Honeywell Basic Reader Interface (BRI) for host application integration, and can be managed via Honeywell SmartSystems, Bonjour, Universal Plug and Play, and Honeywell Web Services, with network protocol support for HTTP/HTTPS, IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, DNS, NTP, and Syslog.
Does the Honeywell IF2B Network Reader offer a security-certified communication option for enterprise deployments?
Yes, the IF2B includes FIPS 140-2 compliance for HTTPS, LLRP-secure, and Web Services (DCWS)-secure communications, and also supports RADIUS client and SSL certificate authentication.
