Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn

Uploading Data In A Docking Station

3.6Uploading Data In A Docking Station

Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your Ikôn before performing data uploads.

The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transac- tion data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.

Note: Refer to “CH4004 Quad Docking Station” on page 227 for more details.

The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or server.

Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connec- tions to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.

When an Ikôn is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the navi- gation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the presence of the

Ethernet network.

3.7Bluetooth Radio

Note: Integrated Bluetooth radios are standard on Ikôn Rugged PDA units. Keep in mind also that Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11g on a single unit.

The Ikôn is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type of radio enables short range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth also provides the capability to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, exchanging information with other Bluetooth devices and providing network access. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 111 for setup details.

You can also pair your hand-set with a Bluetooth headset.
