3.3 Installation
When installing one or more new LAN Docking
Stations to your network, you can set it up in
one of two ways:
Use the DHCP service on your network•
to assign IP addresses to the LAN Docking
Stations based on the MAC address of each
LAN Docking Station, or
Set the LAN docking station to a default IP•
address to access the configuration interface
and assign a fixed IP address
The LAN Docking has a default configuration
setting to use the DHCP server to obtain its
IP address. This makes it easier to do a batch
installation of several LAN Docking Stations in
a corporate network. See Installation using DHCP
below for more information.
If your network does not support DHCP,
you can set the LAN Docking Station to use
a default static IP address to get started. See
Installation using the factory default IP address
below for more information.
3.3.1 Installation using DHCP
If your network has a DHCP server, follow
the steps below to install new LAN Docking
Stations:
Make a note of the MAC address of every1
LAN Docking Station that you are about
to install (The MAC address can be found
on the bottom plate of the LAN Docking
Station).
Configure your DHCP server to assign an IP2
address to each LAN Docking Station based
on the MAC address of each LAN Docking
Station. Refer to the documentation of your
DHCP server for more information.
Deploy the LAN Docking Stations3
throughout your organization. Connect each
LAN Docking Station to the main power
supply with the included Philips power
supply. Connect each LAN Docking Station
to a free network socket using the RJ45
network cable.
Open a Web browser on your PC and load4
the LAN Docking Station configuration
interface for each assigned IP address
to configure the LAN Docking Stations
individually. See Configuration on page 9 for
more information.
D Note
The LAN Docking Station is configured by
default to obtain an IP address from your DHCP
server. If this default setting has been changed,
you must reset the device to its factory default
settings before starting. Read Resetting to factory
defaults on page 17 for information on how
to reset the LAN Docking Station to factory
default settings.
ETip
It is good practice to make a note of the
location and network socket number of
each LAN Docking Station before they are
deployed. You can enter this information into
the comment field of the LAN Docking Station
configuration interface, which will make it easier

8User manual
to troubleshoot and maintain LAN Docking
Stations in your network. See Assigning a
comment to the LAN Docking Station on page 16
for more information about assigning comments.
3.3.2 Installation using the factory default
IP address
If your network does not have a DHCP server,
follow these steps to install a new LAN Docking
Station:
Connect the LAN Docking Station to the1
main power supply with the included Philips
power supply.
Connect the LAN Docking Station to a free2
network socket using the RJ45 network
cable.
Slide a Digital pocket Memo 9600 or 96203
into the docking slot of the LAN Docking
Station.
Press and hold the4 FUNCTION and the
MENU button on the Digital Pocket Memo
simultaneously for 3 seconds. The LAN
Docking Station will be configured to use
the static IP address 192.168.109.1 (subnet

Configure the network connetion settings5
of your PC to use a static IP address
like 192.168.109.xxx and subnet mask
255.255.255.0 for the network socket that is
used to connect the LAN Docking Station.
Open a Web browser on your PC and enter6
http://192.168.109.1 in the address field
Your user name and password is required.7
Leave the USER NAME field empty and enter
‚administrator‘ in the PASSWORD field.
Change the IP address of the LAN Docking8
Station according to your network policy.
See Assigning a static IP address on page 14
for more information.
Make any additional configuration changes as9
you see fit. See Configuration on page 9 for
more information.
DNote
This procedure resets all configuration settings
of the LAN Docking Station to their factory
defaults.
CImportant
If installing several LAN Docking Stations,
be sure to change the IP address of the LAN
Docking Station before connecting the next one
to the network. Failure to do so will result in
IP address conflicts, making the configuration
interface of the LAN Docking Station
inaccessible.

9User manual
ENGLISH
Once the LAN Docking Station is connected to
the network, it can be configured using a simple
HTML interface from any HTML4-compliant
Web browser.

4.1 Setting up the FTP server
The LAN Docking Station can automatically
upload dictation files to an FTP server when a
Digital Pocket Memo is connected.
The LAN Docking Station has been tested with
a number of FTP servers for the Windows and
Linux platforms. It should also function with
any other FTP server conforming to the FTP
protocol specifications standard. The following
FTP servers have been tested with the LAN
Docking Station:
Microsoft Internet Information Server•
WS FTP Server•
FileZilla Server•
freeftpd•
DNote
The LAN Docking Station supports SFTP•
connections according to the SSH-1 standard.
The protocol versions SSH-2 and SSH-3 are
currently not supported.
The LAN Docking Station opens FTP data•
connections in passive mode. If there is a
firewall between the LAN Docking Station
and your FTP server, make sure that the LAN
Docking Station can connect to port numbers
used for passive data transfer. Refer to the
User Manual of your FTP server for more
information.
Setting up the file upload directory4.2
on your FTP server
Create a directory on the FTP server to store
uploaded dictation files. This dictory will be
referred to as the ‚file upload directory‘ in this
user guide.
If you have multiple LAN Docking Stations
on your network, there is no need to create
a dierent file upload directory for each
installation. The LAN Docking Station was
designed to work more eciently with a single
shared file upload directory.
ETip
It is a good practice to make the file upload
directory available to employees at your
organization as a shared network folder
that they can map to a drive letter on their
computers. This makes it quick and easy for
them to pick up dictation jobs, and allows you
to control access to the uploaded dictation files
using the existing user and group configuration
in your network domain.
Files stored in the file upload4.3
directory
When dictation files are uploaded from a Digital
Pocket Memo, the LAN Docking Station creates
a subdirectory with the serial number of the
Digital Pocket Memo under the file upload
directory and places all uploaded files there. The
file names of the uploaded files are composed of
the name of the author, the sequential number
of the file, and the .DSS file extension.

11User manual
ENGLISH
The LAN Docking Station also creates a
“configuration” subdirectory in the file upload
directory and creates a file named MAC_config.
txt, where MAC is the MAC address of the
LAN Docking Station. These files contain
configuration information for the LAN Docking
Station and are used by the Administration Tool.
See LAN Docking Station Administration Tool on
page 18 for more information.
Setting up the file upload user4.4
account on your FTP server
Create a user account on your FTP server
that the LAN Docking Station will use to
upload dictation files. This user account needs
the following access rights to the file upload
directory:
Create subdirectories•
Create and write files•
List directory contents•
The user name and password for this user
account must be entered at the LAN Docking
Station configuration interface. See the next
chapter for details.
4.5 FTP settings
Once you have your FTP server set up, you
must configure the LAN Docking Station to use
it. To configure the FTP settings, follow these

connections, check the SFTP radio button
on the FTP settings panel. Otherwise, check
the FTP radio button on the FTP settings
panel.
Enter the domain name or IP address of3
your FTP server into the FTP SERVER field.
The FTP server does not have to be on the
the local area network. If you reference
the FTP server using its domain name,
make sure that at least one DNS server is
configured (see Assigning a static IP address
on page 14) or that you are using DHCP
(see Assigning an IP address from DHCP on
page 13).
Enter the port number of your FTP server4
into the FTP PORT field. The port number
should be 21 for FTP or 22 for SFTP,
unless your FTP server is configured with a
nonstandard port number.
Enter the name of the FTP user account5
into the USERNAME field. This should be
the user account you have set up to receive
