Hardware Setup - STS-PE, STS-P2UE, and STS-P2UE+
The STS-PE, STS-P2UE, and STS-P2UE+ have minimal setup requirements in the tablet. The tablet
battery indicator icon can be useful to have enabled, but is optional. The charging status of the tablet can
always be checked in the tablet battery menu. Setup of a PoE capable switch port is specific to each
Network switch, and therefore beyond the scope of this document.
Hardware Setup – for the STS-PE, STS-P2UE, and STS-P2UE+
Step Procedure Observations
1 Prepare the Network Switch port to be used with
the STS**. Consult your Network Administrator
for policies regarding PoE and DHCP setup.
2 Turn on the tablet The standard startup banner(s) and music are
reported. A new tablet requires the standard first
time setup required by manufacturer.
3 Attached the PoE-ETHERNET port on the
STS** to the PoE capable Network Switch port
prepared in step 1.
The Charge-Only light (green) will flash on and
off for 2 seconds, after which the SimulCharge
light (yellow) is on and the Charge-Only light is
off.
4 Connect the STS** to the tablet with the custom
Micro USB to Micro USB cable provided.
Always verify the connector orientation before
attempting to insert it to a device. Either end of
the cable can be plugged into to tablet.
A tablet status message briefly appears to report
“USB connector connected” and issues a beep.
The tablet battery icon will now show a
lightning bolt to indicate it is being charged.
The RJ45 USB Activity light will be yellow.
5 Go into the tablet setup menu for Connections >
More Networks > Ethernet. The Configure
Ethernet menu allows you to select DHCP or a
Static IP Address. Select a suitable configuration
for your network.
6 In the tablet More networks > Ethernet menu
press the box for Ethernet to turn Ethernet on.
The Ethernet label and box go grey while the
tablet attempts to make a network connection.
The Link Indicator (green) is flashing as the
tablet performs the initial interaction with the
network. If using DHCP, a DHCP Server on the
network assigns the IP Address for the tablet.
When the Ethernet interface is ready, a check
mark appears in the select box. If a DHCP
lookup fails, the check box eventually is
restored from grey to black with no check mark.
If DHCP does not succeed within the tablet
timeout period, the tablet makes no further
attempts until you press the select box again.
7 Optionally plug in a USB accessory to one of
the STS** USB-A receptacles (if present).
The tablet reports a connection message such as
“USB mass storage connected” for a flash
memory stick.
The tablet is now operating as a USB Host and is being charged by PoE capable Network Switch port.
