9.4.8.1 Network Access

The hand-held unit automatically detects insertion into the desktop dock and loads
the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB-Ethernet converters.

Network Addressing

The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and
communicate with a specific WORKABOUT PRO on the network.
If a link is established between a WORKABOUT PRO and a host, the application
on the host and on the hand-held must have a recovery mechanism in the event that
the WORKABOUT PRO is removed from the dock, interrupting the link.
