Reconnect After
This option allows the desktop PC to reconnect the Allegro to the
desktop PC after a designated time. This setting is used when a
custom-made program needs to collect all the data from each Allegro,
process the gathered information, manipulate the existing data or
create new data for each Allegro from the processed information, and
reconnect to transfer the new data back to the Allegros.
For example, leaving the Allegros in the Power Docks and selecting 2
Hours, sets the desktop PC to wait two hours before reconnecting to
the Allegro. With the file manipulations complete, the user-made
program automatically reconnects the Allegro to the desktop PC,
synchronizes the files, and disconnects for the night.
USB Hub Restrictions
Using multiple Allegros on a single desktop PC requires the use of
USB hubs. This method is discussed in Chapter 2 under the Using
USB Hubs for Multiple Connections section. The following restrictions
apply when using USB hubs with Allegros and the USB/Power Dock
with MultiSync:
1) Do not connect any devices that use ActiveSync while using the
MultiSync function. It cancels the MultiSync function and the
Allegros do not connect and synchronize files.
2) The number of Allegros you can connect to one desktop PC
depends on the connection and synchronization time, and the
amount of time the Allegros will be in the USB/ Power Dock.
For example: Y ou have several large files to transfer between the
Allegro and desktop PC. The average time for the connection,
synchronization, and disconnection is 30 minutes per Allegro. The
Allegros are placed in the USB/Power Docks over night (approx.
14 hours). This results in a total of 28 Allegros for connecting to
one desktop PC in the available time.
