DATALOGIC MEMOR™ SINGLE ETHERNET CRADLE
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 DATALOGIC MEMOR™ SINGLE ETHERNET CRADLE
DESCRIPTION
The Datalogic Memor™ Single Ethernet Cradle paired with a Datalogic
Memor™ mobile computer builds a reading system for the collection,
decoding and transmission of barcoded data.
The Datalogic Memor™ Single Ethernet Cradle is a serial
communication adapter between the host computer and the Datalogic
Memor™ mobile computer. Power supply is required to be connected
to the Cradle only for ethernet communication.
Since the Datalogic Memor™ Single Ethernet Cradle also functions as
a battery charger, a power supply is required for battery recharging
operations, both for the mobile computer and the spare battery pack
recharging. The spare battery pack recharging slot can supply a 1000
mAh as well as a 2000 mAh Battery pac.
The communication between the mobile computer and a host PC
through the Datalogic Memor™ Single Ethernet Cradle may also occur
by using the standard ActiveSync® connection.

INTRODUCTION
1.2 CHARGING AND COMMUNICATION
By inserting the Datalogic Memor™ into the cradle, data can be
transmitted to the host and its battery begins charging if the power
supply is connected. In addition, a spare battery can be charged by
inserting it into the slot at the back of the Datalogic Memor™ Single
Ethernet Cradle as shown in the following figure.

3.2 CRADLE MANAGER WINDOWS XP APPLICATION
The "Cradle Manager" Windows XP application is the software used to view and
modify how the cradle operates on the network.
NOTE
This software should only be used by network or system
administrators. Improperly configuring network-connected
cradles can cause the cradle to stop working and possible
network disruption.
Cradle Manager is not required for basic installation but it is an available option
for users requiring extra features. Cradle Manager allows you to:
- View cradles that are attached to the network
- View cradle status
- Modify cradle settings including:
IP address settings
DNS and WINS settings
Identification settings
- Restart cradles connected to the network
- Update the firmware of the cradle

TCP/IP Settings
IP Address The IP address that the cradle will use
when communicating on the network.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask that the cradle will
use when communicating on the
network.
Gateway Address The IP address that the cradle will use
to send non-local IP network data.
DNS Address The IP address of a server(s) that can
resolve Internet names into IP
addresses.
WINS Address The IP address of a server(s) that can
resolve Windows network names into
IP addresses.
When You Can’t Use DHCP
For most installations, it is not necessary to manually configure the USB-Host to
Ethernet Adapter. The Ethernet Cradle uses DHCP to automatically configure
its network settings by default. For installations on networks that do not have a
DHCP server or must use static IP addresses for other reasons, it is possible to
customize the Adapter's configuration (e.g. setting a static IP address, assigning
specific name to the Adapter, etc.).
If your cradle is not listed in the Cradle Manager Window, first select “File” and
then select “Set IP Address of Unlisted Device” to add your device. Follow the
instructions.
