Adding mobile devices

You can add mobile devices to your connected Base Station.

When adding mobile devices for the first time, they need to be paired. Devices that have already been paired and removed will be displayed in the MD Manager and can easily be added back to production using the button.

To add a mobile device:

In your production card, activate the function DEVICE SYNCHRONIZATION on the left-hand side of the top bar.
Click on the button MD Manager on the left-hand side of the top bar.
A new window opens and shows a list of all known and connected mobile devices.
Click on PAIRING MODE to set the Base Station to pairing mode.
The Base Station remains in pairing status for 5 minutes.
Switch on your mobile device and activate Pairing Mode if it has not been activated automatically (Switching the SEK on and off, Pairing the SEK to the Base Station).
After a few seconds, the available mobile devices are displayed in the list.
Click on the Add button in the line of the mobile device to be added.
A confirmation code is displayed both in LinkDesk and on the mobile device.
Compare the displayed code at both endpoints.
In LinkDesk, click on Confirm to pair the selected mobile device.

The mobile device has been added to the Base Station and is indicated as a separate card. The card shows the connected Base Station and the occupied RF channel. The device state color changes to:

green: successful operation, or
yellow: warning (e.g. if the audio links have not yet been assigned (see also Device state colors and Routing editor).
