provides an ethernet port for networking, power input
jack, USB client port, and a mounting station for the Mesa
Rugged Notepad.
Ethernet Features and Specications:
10/100 Mbps twisted pair ethernet
IEEE802.3 10 Base-T / 100Base-TX
Manages twisted pair crossover detection and
correction

1 Power input jack: 12VDC for power input and battery
charging. This jack is used to power the Ethernet dock
and the Mesa. (The power port on the Mesa is not
accessible when it is in the ethernet dock.)

2 USB client port access: This is a through connection
to the Mesa USB client port for connection to the host
computer.
3 Ethernet port: The ethernet port is for RJ45 twisted pair
ethernet cables, 10/100 Mbps.
LED indicators on port:
- Yellow LED indicates a speed of 100 Mbps
- Green LED indicates that there is data activity
Using the Ethernet Dock
1. Secure the ethernet dock to a wall or select another
mounting option (see the next section for details).
2. Connect a 12V power supply to provide power and
charge the Mesa baeries. Options:
Mesa Ethernet Dock User ’s Manual 3
a. Wall charger provided with the Mesa
b. Vehicle charger cable (optional)
c. Larger capacity power supply for multiple docks
3. Use a CAT5 or CAT6 twisted pair ethernet cable
to connect the dock to an ethernet switch or to an
internal network. The cable length should not exceed
100 meters.
4. Place the Mesa into the dock (instructions are given
later in this manual). The Mesa automatically turns
on if it isn’t already on. Set the orientation for desired
viewing while in the dock.
5. Use communication software to communication
with the Mesa over an ethernet network. (This
can be custom software for your specic needs or
mobile management software available from third
party vendors such as MobiControl by SOTI, www.
SOTI.net. For more information, go to hp://www.

Mounting Options
Accessories are available for using the ethernet dock as a
desktop base, mounting it onto a vehicle, and mounting it
onto a pole. You can also aach it directly to a wall.

Wall Mount
You can mount one or more ethernet docks to a wall. Here
is a recommended way to do this:
1. Cut a plywood panel to the size you need to t the
number of ethernet docks you are going to use.
2. Select a location to mount the panel and docks where
a power supply and access to the computer you will
be using are available. For multiple docks, you can
use a power strip and ethernet hub to connect all the
docks to the computer.
3. You need 2 to 4 #8 wood screws per dock.
4. There are four screw holes for mounting purposes
as shown below. For each dock, put the wood
screws through these holes and screw them into the
plywood and then into the wall.
Desktop Base
The desktop base (optional accessory) allows the ethernet
dock to be used on a desktop or other at, stationary
surface. A metal base and four screws are included.
Mesa Ethernet Dock User ’s Manual 5
1. On the back of the dock near the boom are two
small screw holes, one on the left and one on the
right. Place screws into the holes and screw them in
hal f-way.
2. Slide the desktop base up so the screw slots on the
back slide onto the screws and tighten them.
3. On the front of the desktop base near the top and the
front of the dock near the boom are two small screw
holes, one on the left and one on the right. Align the
holes, place screws into the holes, screw them in all
the way, and tighten them. The desktop base is now
ready to use.

Attaching the Mesa to the Ethernet Dock
Follow these instructions to place the Mesa into the
ethernet dock:
1. Close the individual port covers so the Mesa docks
properly. If the hand strap is in the way, move it.
2. Hold the Mesa so the connector protector is at the
boom. Align the Mesa with the lower mounting
points on the ethernet dock.
3. Press the Mesa back to secure it to ethernet Dock. The
top latch snaps into place.
Mesa Ethernet Dock User ’s Manual 7
Releasing the Mesa from the Ethernet Dock
To release the Mesa from the ethernet dock, lift up on the
top latch. Pull the Mesa forward and remove it.
Maintenance and Environmental Issues
The ethernet dock is intended for indoor operation only
Temperatures should be between 0°C to 50°C. Avoid
using the dock in situations where water can enter the
connector ports. It is not sealed against water and must be
kept dry, although it sheds moisture that is on the Mesa
when it is placed into the dock.
Do not touch the docking pins (spring loaded contacts)
with conductive items when power is applied to the dock.
Do not drop items on the dock that can damage the pins.
Keep debris o of the docking pins and the connectors to
maintain the best performance.

Battery Warnings
WARNING! These warnings are for the lithium ion
!!
rechargeable baeries in the Mesa:
To reduce the risk of re or burns, do not disassemble,
crush, puncture, short external contacts, or expose to re.
Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform,
puncture or shred.
Do not modify or remanufacture, aempt to insert foreign
objects into the baery, immerse or expose to water or
other liquids, expose to re, explosion or other hazard.
Only use the baery for the system for which it is
specied
Only use the baery with a charging system that has been
qualied with the system per this standard. Use of an
unqualied baery or charger may present a risk of re,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Do not short circuit a baery or allow metallic conductive
objects to contact baery terminals.
Replace the baery only with another baery that has
been qualied with the system.
Use of an unqualied baery may present a risk of re,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.
Promptly dispose of used baeries in accordance with
local regulations
Baery usage by children should be supervised.
Mesa Ethernet Dock User ’s Manual 9
Avoid dropping the baery. If the baery is dropped,
especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects
damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
Improper baery use may result in a re, explosion or
other hazard.
Wall Charger Warnings
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury,
!
electrical shock, re or damage to the equipment:
Plug the wall charger into an electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the
wall charger from the electrical outlet.
Do not place anything on the wall charger cord or any
of the other cables. Arrange them so that no one may
accidentally step on or trip over them.
Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging the wall
charger from the electrical outlet, pull on the plug, not the
cord.
Use only wall chargers intended for the Mesa. Using any
other external power source can damage your product
and void your warranty.
