7.7 Combo Dock
The combo dock is identical to the combo charger with one exception – the combo
dock is equipped with a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface. The charging information
in “Combo Charger” beginning on page 329 also applies to the combo dock.
7.7.1 Installation
Refer to the “Installation” guidelines for the combo charger beginning on page 330.
• Attach a CAT5 RJ45 network patch cable (shipped with the combo dock) between
your network and the RJ45 jack on the rear of the dock.
A green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector when a valid network link is
established.
A user application needs to be loaded onto each 7535/7530 that utilizes the combo
dock for communication. With the network connected and this application loaded,
the combo dock is ready for use.
7.7.2 Using The Combo Dock
• Gently slide the 7535/7530 into the cradle portion of the combo dock until
lightly latched. The 7535/7530 detects combo dock and displays the appropriate
icon – .
The battery charge LED (lower-right LED) on the 7535/7530 lights up to show it
has external power and may start charging the battery.
Interaction with the 7535/7530 while in the combo dock is a function of the user
application software used to communicate with the host network.
7.7.3 Network Access
The combo dock includes a dedicated USB to Ethernet converter. This USB
converter appears as a USB slave to the 7535/7530 USB host controller. The
7535/7530 automatically detects insertion into a combo dock and loads the
appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB/Ethernet converter.
See “Network Addressing” on page 334 for details about network addressing issues
with the combo dock.
