Communications Dock Parts and Functions

This section explains the top and back panels of the communications dock.

Top Panel

The top panel of the communications dock has two slots:

Reader slot

  

  You place the J2010 in this slot to communicate through the

reader’s COM1 port with devices connected to the dock’s network and
auxiliary ports. The reader slot also charges the battery pack installed in the
reader.

Battery slot

  

  You use the battery slot to charge or discharge spare battery packs

for the J2010.

There are six LEDs that you can use to monitor the status of the reader and
spare battery pack:
