Network Addressing
8.7.4.1
Although the USB converters have fixed Ethernet MAC addresses, there is generally
no correlation between these addresses and a specific hand-held. 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 and the link is interrupted.
8.7.5 Battery Charging – LED Behaviour
The quad docking station supplies DC power to enable the WORKABOUT PRO
internal fast charger. Charge status is displayed on the hand-held LED – the LED
turns red while the battery is being charged and turns green once the charge is
complete. If the battery is fully charged when the unit is inserted in the docking
station, the LED flashes red for less than a second and then turns green. Battery
charging continues whether the WORKABOUT PRO is switched on or off.
It can take up to 5 hours to fully charge the internal battery.
8.7.6 Troubleshooting
The indicators, applications and drivers required to use and monitor the docking
station are installed on the WORKABOUT PRO – no indicators or applications are
present on the docking station itself.
8.7.6.1
If a network link fails, the WORKABOUT PRO application alerts the operator that
the link was unsuccessful.
8.7.6.2
•
Check that the quad docking station has power – is the Power LED on the
docking station illuminated?
•
Try inserting the WORKABOUT PRO in another well in the quad dock.
•
Check for dirt or contamination on the docking contacts at the bottom of the
WORKABOUT PRO. Wipe the contacts with a damp cloth if necessary.
•
Check the pogo pins inside the dock cradle for dirt. Gently wipe with a
damp cloth if they appear to be dirty or discoloured.
