Read this manual carefully before performing any type of
connection from the terminal to a host PC using the Four
Slot Dock.
The user is responsible for any damages caused by

NOTE

The Four Slot Dock paired with a Skorpio X3 mobile computer builds a
reading system for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcode
data.
The Four Slot Dock can charge both the terminals and the spare batteries
at the same time. The spare batteries can be charged by inserting them
into the slots at the back of the cradle.
The Four Slot Dock comes in two different models, the Charger
(94A150032) and the Ethernet (94A150033).

The Ethernet model also provides Ethernet connection for data transfer
via local area networks.

ETHERNET CONNECTION

The Ethernet cradle drivers are pre-installed on the Skorpio X3 and
initiate automatically when the terminal is placed in a properly connected
Four Slot Dock Ethernet.

When the mobile computer is inserted into the Four Slot Dock Ethernet,
the connectivity icon on the taskbar indicates that the mobile computer is
connected to a network.

The maximum bandwidth capacity for each Mobile
Computer is 12Mbps.

NOTE

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.

Connections should always be made with power OFF!

CAUTION

How to connect

Connect the Ethernet cradle (Ethernet port 1 - E) to an Ethernet hub or to a
port on the host device. Connect the Ethernet cradle (power port - F) to the
power supply.

Daisychaining Ethernet Connection

To connect several cradles to an Ethernet network, the Ethernet cradles may
be daisychained. It is recommended not to connect more than 4 cradles in
order to maintain the optimal baud rate.

To daisychain the cradles:

1. Connect the first Ethernet cradle to the power supply and to the Ethernet
Switch as shown in Figure 6.

2. Connect the second Ethernet cradle to the power supply.

3. Connect the daisychain Ethernet cable (either straight or twisted cable
can be used) between the Ethernet Port 2 of the first cradle and the
Ethernet Port 1 of the second cradle.

4. Connect additional cradles as shown in Figure 6.
