Quad Docking Station Setup

The quad docking station permits each of four docked NEOs to communicate with a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network. It also provides sufficient power to operate the hand-helds and charge their batteries.

Important: The Ethernet connection on the quad docking station is designed for indoor use only!

6.8.1Quad Docking Station Setup

Refer to instruction sheet PN 1081342 for a checklist of startup steps. You can find this instruction sheet on Teknet. Go to www.psionteklogix.com. Tap on Teknet and enter you user name and password. If you’re not already a member, you will be asked to register free of charge.

6.8.2Quad Docking Station Indicators

The quad dock is equipped with a power indicator LED and RJ45 link and traffic indicator LEDs. When a valid link is established, a green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector.

6.8.3Inserting A NEO In The Quad Docking Station

Slide NEO into the cradle portion of the quad dock until lightly latched.

The LED on the hand-held unit lights up to show it has external power and may start charg- ing the battery.

Interaction with NEO while in the quad dock is a function of the user application software used to communicate with the host network.

6.8.4Network Access

The quad docking station has one 10/100 Ethernet port. You can insert up to four hand-held units. The hand-helds are connected to an internal USB hub. The hand-held unit automati- cally detects insertion into a quad docking station and loads the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB/Ethernet converters.

6.8.4.1 Network Addressing

Although the USB converters have fixed Ethernet MAC addresses, there is generally no cor- relation between these addresses and a specific hand-held. The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and communicate with a specific NEO on

the network.
