Using the A2 Ethernet Multi Dock
1. The ethernet dock is a freestanding desktop base. It can
also be mounted to a horizontal surface like a desk or
shelf. To mount the dock, drill three holes in a horizontal
line 10 7/8” (27.65 cm) apart up through the mounting
surface. Screw #6-32 screws up into the threaded holes in
the dock’s boom base plate.
Note: The screws should not penetrate the dock more than 1/4”.
2. Handhelds must have a docking I/O module. The lower
right side of the module has docking pin contacts as
shown below:
If you have a standard I/O module, replace it with a
docking I/O module. Follow the instructions included
with the kit.
3. To use an Archer 2 with the dock, install the insert as
shown below. This step is not required for the Allegro 2.
4. Aach the AC power cord to the power adapter. Plug
the power cord into an AC power supply and the power
adapter into the power input jack on the dock. This
provides power to the dock and charges handhelds. The
green LED turns on when power is applied.
5. If a handheld has a connector protector, open it to reveal
the connector ports. Pull it back as shown below.
6. To insert a handheld, hold it so the connector ports are
at the boom and the keypad is facing forward. Insert
the handheld into the dock as shown below so it is rmly
seated. The handheld automatically turns on.
7. When you insert a handheld into the dock, a red LED on
the handheld is illuminated, indicating that it is properly
docked and ready to communicate over the network.
8. For networking, use an ethernet cable to connect the dock
to an ethernet switch or to an internal network.
9. Use communication software to communicate with
the handhelds over an ethernet network. Follow the
instructions included with the software.
10. Handhelds can be used when they are in the dock. The
keys and display are accessible.
