An USB-Ethernet adaptor cable – model number WA4010-G1 – is used to connect
the WORKABOUT PRO to an Ethernet network through a desktop docking station.
Figure 9.9 USB-Ethernet Adaptor Cable
• Insert the adaptor’s USB connector into the Host USB port on the desktop
docking station.
• Connect your network Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the
adaptor cable.
9.4.8.1 Network Access
The hand-held unit automatically detects insertion into the desktop dock and loads
the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB-Ethernet converters.
Network Addressing
The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and
communicate with a specific WORKABOUT PRO on the network.
If a link is established between a WORKABOUT PRO and a host, the application
on the host and on the hand-held must have a recovery mechanism in the event that
the WORKABOUT PRO is removed from the dock, interrupting the link.
