AD v2 Communication and Power
AD v2 can use either a wired (USB) connection or a wireless (WiFi) connection to communicate with SmartStruxure servers. AD v2 can be powered either by an AS-P, AS-B, or USB power adapter, but not by an Automation Server.
Communication over a USB Connection
The preinstalled SmartX AD-Link application enables AD v2 to communicate with SmartStruxure servers over a USB connection.
When AD v2 is connected to AS-P or AS-B, AD v2 can be powered by the SmartStruxure server device through the USB cable. The screen must not be turned on constantly because this may drain the battery.
USB connection to AS-P or AS-B
When AD v2 is connected to an Automation Server, AD v2 must be powered by a USB power adapter. The Automation Server does not provide enough power for AD v2. A USB “Y” cable allows you to connect AD v2 to two different devices, an Automation Server and a USB power adapter, to receive data and power respectively. The screen must not be turned on constantly because this may drain the battery.
USB connection to an Automation Server and a USB power adapter
Use only Samsung-approved power adapters. Using other power adapters can cause the battery to explode or damage the tablet.

HAZARD OF EXPLOSION OR DEVICE DAMAGE Use only Samsung-approved power adapters. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
Communication over a Wireless Connection
AD v2 can communicate with SmartStruxure servers through a wireless access point (AP), which is connected to the same network as the SmartStruxure servers. When used as a stationary HMI terminal, AD v2 is connected to a USB power adapter to ensure that its battery is charged.
