6.8.3 Using The Quad Dock
• Gently slide the 7530 G2 into the cradle portion of the quad dock until
lightly latched.
The 7530 G2 detects that it is in a quad dock and displays the appropriate icon in the
taskbar –
. The battery charge LED on the 7530 G2 lights up to show it has
external power and may start charging the battery.
Interaction with the 7530 G2 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 dock includes a four port 10/100 Ethernet hub. Each of the four
downstream ports are connected to dedicated USB-to-Ethernet converters. These
USB converters appear as USB slaves to the 7530 G2 USB host controller. The
7530 G2 automatically detects insertion into a quad dock 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 correlation between these addresses and a specific 7530 G2 hand-held.
The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and
communicate with a specific 7530 G2 on the network.
If a link is established between a hand-held and a host, the application on the host
and on the 7530 G2 must have a recovery mechanism in the event that the hand-held
is removed from the dock and the link is interrupted.
6.8.5 Battery Charging
The quad dock supplies DC power to enable the 7530 G2 internal fast charger.
Charge status is displayed on the hand-held charge LED (see “Charge LED” on
page 43). Battery charging continues whether the unit is switched on or off.
Normally, it takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to fully charge the 7530 G2 internal
battery.
6.8.6 Troubleshooting
The indicators, applications and drivers required to use and monitor the docking
station are installed on the 7530 G2 – no indicators or applications are present on the
docking station itself.
