Quad Docking Station Setup
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 195
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.
6.8.1 Quad 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.
6.8.2 Quad 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.
6.8.3 Inserting 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.
6.8.4 Network 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.
Important: The Ethernet connection on the quad docking station is designed for indoor
use only!
