Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transac-
tion data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or
server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available.
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connec-
tions to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.
When an Ikôn is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in
the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The Ikôn also detects the presence of the
Ethernet network.

Bluetooth
devices. Refer to “The Bluetooth GPRS Phone” on page 206 for setup details.
