Mobile Computer Configuration

Inserting the mobile computer into the cradle provides direct-connect Remote Access Service (RAS) service.
Configure each mobile computer for use with the cradle, just as any remote client would be configured to
connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The computer comm port setting was set to USB during the
iDockIt installation procedure.

DHCP Server Configuration

If you use a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses and other network parameters, the server setup should
include the following:
IP address pool (1 or 5 IP address per cradle)
•
Router/gateway address
•
One or more DNS server addresses
•
One or more WINS server addresses
•
Subnet mask.
•
NOTE To assign the initial cradle IP address, you can either use a DHCP server, as shown above, or use the
MobileDox Cradle Manager (see
is the preferred method.

Cradle Configuration

The MobileDox Cradle Manager allows you to setup the Device IP Address and modify cradle settings. See
Installing MobileDox Cradle Manager on page 2-11
Figure 2-8 on page 2-9

Setting the Device IP Address

By default, the cradle uses DHCP to obtain its IP address. However, if DHCP fails, the Cradle Manager can
assign an IP address.
NOTE This is used if the cradle is connected to the network, but fails to appear in MobileDox. Enter the
hardware device (MAC) address to locate the cradle and assign it a new IP address.
