Ethernet communication

The Ethernet function allows the TC201 terminal to be integrated into a wired network infrastructure via the cradle. This configuration is useful in areas where a stable connection to the local network is required or where terminal management is performed at a fixed point.

Ethernet connectivity can be used for:

• operational data synchronization;
• connecting the terminal to local applications and systems;
• device management in the company’s infrastructure;
• transferring information in areas with limited wireless coverage;
• preparing the terminal before the next shift.

Network cabling and Ethernet infrastructure configuration must be verified separately as they are not mentioned in the commercial content provided for this code.

USB communication

The CRD-TCVT-1D1BE offers USB communication for connecting the terminal to a computer or compatible system, depending on the application used.

The USB connection can be used for:

• terminal synchronization;
• controlled data transfer;
• device configuration;
• administration and service operations;
• integration with applications that require a physical connection.

The Zebra CBL-EC5X-USBC3A-01 cable, sold separately, is required for cradle configuration.

Charging the terminal without Rugged Boot

The main position is sized for the Zebra TC201 terminal in the standard configuration, without a Rugged Boot or other case that changes the dimensions of the device.

For correct use:

1. remove the Rugged Boot or additional case;
2. check if the terminal and contacts are clean;
3. insert the device into the dedicated position;
4. check for correct alignment;
5. confirms the loading and the necessary communication.

Backup battery slot

The cradle includes a separate slot for charging a Zebra TC201 compatible spare battery. The battery can be ready simultaneously with the terminal for the next shift.

This configuration is useful for:

• operations carried out in multiple shifts;
• intensive scanning activities;
• frequent use of wireless connections;
• quick replacement of a discharged battery;
• keeping a spare battery available;
• reducing operational disruptions.

The battery code must be checked before ordering to confirm compatibility with the TC201 terminal and cradle slot.
