The Ethernet cradle drivers are pre-installed on the Datalogic J Series™
and initiate automatically when the Datalogic J Series™ is placed in a
properly connected Four Slot Ethernet cradle.
When the mobile computer is inserted into the Four Slot Ethernet cradle,
the LAN icon indicates that the mobile computer is connected to a
network.
NOTE
Ethernet communication requires Datalogic J Series™
PDA SW version 5.41 or later. Verify the software
version by tapping on
Software – Version
in the
Datalogic default home page. Otherwise, search for
the file
version.htm
under the Windows folder.
The green Speed LED lights to indicate that the transfer rate is 100 Mbps.
When it is not lit it indicates that the transfer rate is 10Mbps.
NOTE
The maximum bandwidth capacity for each Mobile
Computer is 12Mbps.
The yellow Link LED blinks to indicate activity, or stays lit to indicate that
a link is established. When it is not lit it indicates that there is no link.
The Speed LED and the Link LED integrated in Ethernet Port 1 and 2
function in the same way.
The Charging Status LED on the mobile computer shows the status of the
battery charging. The maximum time required to recharge a completely
run-down battery pack is about 2.5 hours for Li-Ion batteries. See
Datalogic J Series™ User’s Manual par. 3.5.1 for Charging Status LED
indications.
Correct Mobile Computer Insertion / Removal
Insert the mobile computer into a slot to begin charging and start
communication.
For correct insertion onto the cradle, insert the mobile computer from the
top of the cradle and push it down firmly.
Figure 2 - Mobile Computer Insertion
To remove the mobile computer from the Datalogic J Series™ Ethernet
Multi Cradle, simply pull it upwards while holding the cradle firmly down.
Power Supply
Each Ethernet Multi Cradle requires a power supply to be connected to
the cradle. We recommend the DL FPS18 power supply.
