Page 8: Licensing
A battery powered, timed USB HASP ‘dongle’ is used for preventing unlicensed use of Lumi software as well as providing a level of security for the owner of the IML Connector System. The information contained within a licensing dongle is used to allow the use of specific Lumi software and to enable certain features and functions within it.
Page 9: Charging
IML Connector Charging This section describes the process for charging IML Connector devices using an IML Multidock Minidock. Whilst there are slight differences in the below instructions between the two dock devices, functionality remains the same. › IML Multidock a) Remove the cover of the charging case.
Page 10 To toggle between the two different ON › states, press and hold the power button on If the status LED on an IML Connector device isn’t flashing, it is not the IML Multidock or IML Minidock. charging. Check the device is correctly inserted into the dock.
Page 11 IML Minidocks do not have this functionality. Important If the IML Connector devices are not being used for long periods of time, it is still important to charge them on a regular basis (to maintain the battery’s performance)
Page 12: Switching On
Switching On › Method 1 a) If an IML Connector device is switched off, it can be turned on manually via the device’s keypad. b) Press and hold the green button. The LED will turn green, when indicated on the display screen, press the microphone key.
Page 13 The IML Connector devices will start their boot up process. d) The devices will start charging, however, with the dock in this mode - they will also connect to an IML Connector Base Station if available. If an IML Connector device is inserted into a dock in this state, it will remain connected and will charge.
Page 14: Switching Off
Ensure that the power lead is connected to the dock and that it is in the state (Red/Red LED status). Put an IML Connector device back into one of the slots in the IML Multidock or IML Minidock (i.e. so it is ‘docked’). The device will turn off.
Page 15: Network Screen
Network Screen Once an IML Connector device has been turned on, it will immediately start seeking a radio signal from the IML Connector Base Station in an attempt to connect. The status LED on the IML Connector device will show a red double blink whilst it is turned on and attempting to connect.
Page 16 Network ID This is a value that determines a discreet network between an IML Connector Base Station and the IML Connector devices. In order for a device to connect to the Base Station, it must use the same network ID.

Page 29: Alarm
The IML Connector devices are designed with an integrated anti-theft alarm. This is a proximity alarm, meaning that as long as a device is within range of (and connected to) an IML Connector Base Station, the alarm will not activate.
Page 30: Using A Handset As A Base Station
After several seconds, the device will re-initialise as a Base Station (indicated on the display screen). d) IML Connector devices will connect to the Base Station (this may take up to a minute) and allow normal use of the system.
