Setup the Docking Station
The Paradigm Docking Station is intended for use on a flat surface, where wireless communication is
optimal and where it is most convenient for use as a charging station. For added security, a Kensington
lock receptacle is provided on the rear panel of the Docking Station.
Supply Power and Data to the Docking Station
Determine how you will supply power and data to the Docking Station.
Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af)
Power over Ethernet supplies both data and power to the Docking Station. When using PoE, connect
the provided Ethernet patch cable between the Ethernet receptacle on the Docking Station and the wall
plate connected to a PoE compatible switch on the lighting control network.
12V Power Supply and Ethernet Data
When using the provided power supply to power the Docking Station, connect the provided cable
between the 12V receptacle on the Docking Station and the power source.
For data, connect the provided Ethernet patch cable between the Ethernet receptacle on the Docking
Station and a network switch on the lighting control network.
Configure the Docking Station
As part of the process of connecting and configuring a Docking Station using MeshConnect, the
following system requirements must be met:
• All components used, including the Handheld Touchscreens, Docking Stations, and Wireless
Access Stations must exist and be properly configured in the system configuration.
• The Docking Station must be assigned a compatible IP Address. IP Address configuration is
accomplished with a Handheld Touchscreen docked to the Docking Station. Reference See
“Assign the Docking Station IP Address” on page 3 .
• The Wireless HF Channel property for the Docking Station matches the HF Channel on the
Handheld Touchscreen. This setting by factory default is HF Channel 10. To configure the HF
Channel for the Docking Station, reference the Paradigm Architectural Control Processor
Configuration Manual.
Docking a Handheld to the Docking Station
N o t e : All Ethernet connections must follow IEEE 802.3 requirements and be terminated to the
T568B standard.
Step 1:Align the Handheld Touchscreen with the Docking Station
cradle alignment pins.
Step 2: Rest the Touchscreen in the cradle. A docked icon displays in
the bottom left corner of the Touchscreen when it has been
properly docked.
