Note: Most USB-C mobile devices are capable of OTG and will work with the nSynC-Staging
adapter in this mode even if they are incompatible with SimulCharge.
Wired Network Operation
The nSynC-Staging adapter provides a 10/100 Fast Ethernet wired interface. This feature relies
on standard support from the mobile devices. A wired networking solution is more reliable than
Wi-Fi and has greater security and download/upload speed.
Tablets supporting Wired Ethernet operation provide options for dynamic address setup (DHCP)
and static address setup. The choice of address management is a Network system issue. The
Ethernet addressing configuration is performed within the mobile device setup menu.
The mobile device setup and Ethernet port status are located in the Connections > More
networks > Ethernet menu. The Ethernet menu can only be entered when a powered Ethernet
adapter is present. The standard mobile device options permit the use of static address
assignments or dynamic address assignments via DHCP. The menu reports if the Ethernet
adapter is active as well as serving as the adapter enable.
When using DHCP, the mobile device attempts to fetch the network addressing information from
a DHCP server. If the addressing information is not located within the timeout period, the mobile
device makes no further attempts. The user must manually retrigger the Ethernet interface to start
the DHCP process. The retrigger is a simple matter of pressing the Ethernet "box" again in the
"More networks > Ethernet" menu.
Power
The nSynC-Staging is powered by a USB-C power supply. If the mobile devices are capable of
Fast Charging, the adapter can charge them at 9 volts, 1 amp. Otherwise, the devices will charge
at 5 volts, 1.8 amps.
