-The Mobile Base station is the central point of control for the Idrive devices assigned to the "mobile location". It controls the configuration and management of the idrive devices and facilitates the download and localized storage of events from Idrive devices as well as the capability to review and grade events. When you return to your home to a location the laptop needs to connect to the internet so it can communicate with the Idrive Global Center to provide web access to you fleet’s information. Please see the [http://wiki.idrive.pro/index.php?title=Idrive_Control_Center_2.0_User%E2%80%99s_Guide '''Idrive Control Center 2.0 User's Guide'''] for detailed information.

When you return to your home or office the laptop needs to connect to the internet via the laptop's built in Wifi Network so it can communicate with the Idrive Global Center to provide web access to your fleet’s information. (Do not attempt to use the wired network connector, it is statically configured to work only with the idrive access point) Please see the [http://wiki.idrive.pro/index.php?title=Idrive_Control_Center_2.0_User%E2%80%99s_Guide '''Idrive Control Center 2.0 User's Guide'''] for detailed information.

 ::'''X1 Camera Connection'''
-::The Mobile Base Station communicates with the Idrive X1 devices in your vehicles via an 802.11G wireless network. This connection is made up by plugging the supplied Mobile WiFi access point into the Wired Cat5 connection on the laptop. This is where you would normally plug in the network cable. The Camera Connection and WiFi access point settings are configured for use with the Idrive system and should not be changed.

 ===The Idrive System Architecture===
-The architecture of the Idrive system requires two separate network connections. One connection is used for access to the internet and the second is used for downloading of events from the Idrive X1 devices. In the Standard Base Station (Desktop) system there are two wired network connections built into the mainboard of the computer to facilitate this configuration. This is not possible with a laptop so to help avoid confusion in this document we will call the connections '''"Internet Connection"''' and '''"X1 Camera Connection"'''.
