9.4.8 Linking A WORKABOUT PRO To An Ethernet Network

An USB-Ethernet adaptor cable–model number WA4010–is used to connect the WORKABOUT PRO to an Ethernet network through a desktop docking station (model number 4002 or 4102).

•Insert the adaptor’s USB connector into the Host USB port on the desktop docking station.

•Connect your network Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the adaptor cable.

9.4.8.1Network 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.

9.4.9 Troubleshooting The Docking Station Operations

The indicators, applications and drivers required to use and monitor the desktop docking station as a dock (as opposed to a charger) are installed on the WORKABOUT PRO–no applications are present on the docking station itself.
