Introduction
Welcome to the next generation of RadioLAN wireless network
products. The DockLINK is a module, which connects to a 10BaseT
Network device, such as a PC, workstation, or printer, allowing
interaction with RadioLAN wireless network resources.
The DockLINK includes a Radio Unit, a RJ-45 jack for connection to
an Ethernet Hub, a power jack, and a special RJ11 serial port for
connecting the DockLINK to a VT-100 terminal or modem.
There are two versions of the DockLINK:
Model 408 for US Installations: This version uses a plug-in power
adapter that is compatible with US electrical systems.
Model 408Z for International Installations: This version uses a
plug-in power adapter that is compatible with European electrical
systems.
Each version now supports options that you can download anc
configure to enhance the DockLINK’s operation and security
capabilities, so you can add Data Encryption to the already
powerful capabilities included with the DockLINK.

Transform a 10BaseT Network Node into a Wireless Network Station
The primary use of the DockLINK is to transform a typical
hard-wired 10BaseT Network Interface Card into a wireless
network station. This allows the station to access and share
network resources such as printers, modems, and servers.
When you use the DockLINK in the Dock Mode, you can
connect the DockLINK to any device containing a 10BaseT
Ethernet Network Interface Card to transform your standard
Network Interface Card to a wireless network Interface Card.
The DockLINK exchanges information between the Ethernet
device and the RadioLAN wireless network.
Although the DockLINK and the device each have their own
MAC address, the DockLINK hides its address from others
on the wireless network. If attempting to Ping the DockLINK
from a remote wireless station, the DockLINK will not respond. Instead, you will receive an IP Address response
from the network interface card that is directly connected to the DockLINK.
If you set an IP Address in the DockLINK, you will receive an IP Address response only when you Ping the
DockLINK from the device to which it is connected.
When using the Dock Mode, the DockLINK’s configuration screens are “invisible” to wireless network stations
