3.6 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transac-
tion data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC
or server.
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connec-
tions to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.
When an Ikôn is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the navi-
gation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the presence of the
Ethernet network.
3.7 Bluetooth Radio
The Ikôn is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type of radio enables short
range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth also provides the capability to
use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, exchanging information with other
Bluetooth devices and providing network access. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 111
for setup details.
You can also pair your hand-set with a Bluetooth headset.
3.7.1 Pairing A Bluetooth Headset Or Other Bluetooth Device
To pair a headset:
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in
your Ikôn before performing data uploads.
Note: Refer to “CH4004 Quad Docking Station” on page 227 for more details.
Note: Integrated Bluetooth radios are standard on Ikôn Rugged PDA units. Keep in mind
also that Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11g on a
single unit.
Note: If the Bluetooth radio is not already enabled, tap on the Power icon in the Control
Panel, tap on the Devices tab and enable the Bluetooth radio.
