System Requirements
The eSynC products operate with a group of USB-C mobile devices. These devices must
implement specific aspects of the USB-C Power Delivery (USB-C PD) specification. Please
contact LAVA Sales or Technical Support for the current list of tested devices.
The mobile device
requires
the installation of the LAVA Tablet Manager application, which is
provided by LAVA. The "eSynC Quick Start Guide" describes the setup procedure for the
eSynC product and the LTM application.
The mobile device must use Android 5.1 or newer for compatibility with LTM v4.** and v5.**.
The eSynC product is connected to a mobile device using a standard USB-C to USB-C cable
provided by the user. The USB-C cable
must support both data and charging
. The cable may
be up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) in length. The cable need not be electronically marked, as the current
levels are always less than 3 amperes.
The eSynC products work with unrooted mobile devices.
The eSynC Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) models require a suitable Network Switch with PoE
support. A non-PoE Network Switch can use a PoE Power Injector for each port to operate with
an eSynC PoE product. A PoE Power Injector is a standard add-on available from many Network
Switch vendors.
The eSynC models without PoE require a USB Power Supply with a USB-C plug. The
Wall/USB Charger provided with the tablet or mobile phone is an ideal choice. Any USB Power
Supply with sufficient power for the combined requirements of the compatible mobile device
and USB accessories, can be used. The USB Power supply should be able to provide 5 volts
with at least 2 amperes.
The eSynC "vc" products require power to be supplied through a DC barrel jack with a 2-
millimeter positive center pin. The power cable and power supply are supplied by the user. Any
unregulated DC power source can be used from 9 to 36 volts. These products are ideal for
automotive based installations which are based on a 12-volt or 24-volt battery.
LAVA only has access to models from the Canadian market and some U.S. models for internal
testing. A tablet or mobile phone integrator must perform a verification of the device model and
build targeted for their application. LAVA will assist in the testing of other devices provided a
sample is made available. The sample device must be delivered with the intended firmware build
already installed.
The mobile device features used by the LAVA products are not universal. Samsung, for
example, tailors the mobile device firmware to a world region or country. Tablet versions created
by Samsung for mobile carriers do not behave the same as the standard products. You must
verify the behavior of the model of mobile device and firmware build to be used before
committing to any deployment.
