Mesa Ethernet Dock The Mesa Ethernet Dock is an optional accessory that provides an ethernet port for networking, power input jack, USB client port, and a mounting station for the Mesa Rugged Notepad. Ethernet Features and Specifications: 10/100 Mbps twisted pair ethernet IEEE802.
Bottom view showing power jack and ports: 1 2 3 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.
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.
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 fit 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.
1. On the back of the dock near the bottom are two small screw holes, one on the left and one on the right. Place screws into the holes and screw them in half-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 bottom are two small screw holes, one on the left and one on the right.
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 bottom. 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.
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.
! Battery Warnings WARNING!

Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred. Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
Avoid dropping the battery. If the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection. Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard. ! Wall Charger Warnings WARNING!
