 Name: This field determines how will the dock be called and presented in the scan list in
the Wireless Dock Manager. This field accepts only Latin letters, digits, and a few special
characters such as space and underscore.
Note: The factory setting for dock name is a prefix Dock and an automatic suffix of the last four
nibbles of the MAC address of the dock. This helps users to distinguish between similar
docks whose names have not been customized. Once the user changes the dock name,
the last four nibbles of the MAC address are no longer appended to it. To re-enable this
behavior, the dock must be reset to the factory defaults by pressing the recovery button
on the dock for ten seconds.
 Software: This shows the version of the currently installed software. Clicking this item
will allow you to manually update your dock software, as described in Section Error!
Reference source not found.. Also, when an update is available for your dock, it will
show up next to the version number. Click the Update Available link to start the software
update procedure.
– Dock Access Settings
 Individual: Allows automatic connections. This setting enables the auto-connect toggle
on connected clients, as described in Section 3.1.3. This is the only setting with which
the dock can be automatically connected to, and is particularly suitable for private docks
for individuals.
 Shared: Requires manual confirmation. This setting forces manual connections by
disabling the auto-connect toggle on connected clients. This setting is particularly
suitable for shared docks in multi-users environments, where it may be undesirable to
allow automatic connection to prevent users from inadvertently connecting to the dock
while in range (remember that a dock that is currently connected to a user cannot
accept other user’s connections, and will not be seen in their scan list).
 Public: Requires pairing for all connections. This settings forces the user to pair on
every connection (such as. pairing data is lost upon disconnect). This is the most secure
setting, and is mostly suitable for docks where the convenience of connection is less of a
concern, for example in airports, cafes or hotels.
– Signal Preferences
 Preferred Radio Channel: Allows you to assign a specific operating channel, or enable
automatic selection by the dock. It is recommended to leave this as Auto, as this will
allow the dock to select the best channel to operate in, based on interference and other
factors.
– Password
 Enable this to assign a password for protecting the dock setting page, preventing
unauthorized access.
3.3 Dock software update
Your dock software can be upgraded over-the-air from the client.
3.3.1 Update during connection
1. When connecting to the dock, the Wireless Dock Manager might inform the user of mandatory
dock software update.
2. On mandatory dock software updates, the Wireless Dock Manager will present the message
shown in Figure 3-19 while trying to connect.
