Docking Made Simple
The Honeywell FlexDock is a uniquely scalable, modular docking system for Honeywell products, giving you the flexibility to design the docking system that best suits your needs today, as well as in the future. FlexDock is designed to work with numerous Honeywell devices, such as the CK70, CK71, CN3, CN3e, CN4, CN4e, CN70, CN70e, CK3, CN50 and CS40 mobile computers.
The Dual or Quad Base supports optional 100Base-T Ethernet connectivity, enabling high-speed data communications over your network infrastructure. "Daisy chaining" capability allows up to 10 Bases (and up to 40 mobile computers) to share a single host network port, significantly reducing cabling requirements.
The Quad Base, designed for large scale deployments, can be configured to hold either a maximum of 4 mobile computers or 4 battery charging stations, allowing for charging of up to 8 battery packs simultaneously.
The Desktop Base, designed for use in home or small-office environments, accommodates one mobile computer and one auxiliary battery charger (supporting up to two battery packs), and provides USB Host and USB Client data connectivity. You may choose to connect the mobile computer to a host PC via Microsoft ActiveSync, or use optional adapter modules that plug directly into the Desktop Base to provide 100Base-T Ethernet or Analog Modem communications. In addition, the USB Host port may be used to connect supported peripherals, such as an external keyboard, to facilitate data input.
No longer must you comply with rigid docking requirements, or the purchase of different peripherals to perform different tasks. As needs change, FlexDock can be easily modified in its cup configuration to accommodate new requirements.
Space and Installation Cost Savings
In addition to its ground-breaking modular design, FlexDock also improves utilization of valuable back-room storage space. An available Rack Mounting System allows FlexDock bases to be mounted in standard 19-inch IT equipment racks, enabling convenient vertical stacking of docks within a significantly smaller footprint. Racks may be mounted horizontally, or angled 15 degrees up or down to improve visibility and accessibility of mobile computers while docked. A power-supply and cable-management shelf provides a convenient means of keeping cables under control and out of the way.
Future-Proof Design
When it's time to upgrade mobile computers, FlexDock provides an extremely cost-effective means of preserving the customer's infrastructure investment. Cups for the new mobile computers and battery packs can easily be snapped into existing bases. No more "rip and replace" or costly installation and rewiring necessary – just snap and go.
The FlexDock design is also forward-looking: As new Honeywell mobile computers, printers, handheld scanners, and other devices are introduced, FlexDock cups will also be developed, providing customers with even more convenience in storing, charging, and communicating to their mobile devices.
