INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the USB 2.0 Laptop Docking Station with Video. This is the solution for laptop users who also like to use their laptop in the office, but don't like the hassle of connecting each device every time. With this station, you can connect all peripherals to the docking station, then use the included cable to connect the laptop to the dock. All your peripherals are now connected, with just one cable! This lets you come and go as you please without the hassle of repeatedly connecting and reconnecting devices to your laptop.
This station contains a 3-port USB 2.0 hub, one serial DB9 port, one parallel printer port, one 10/100 RJ45 ethernet port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, and a VGA pass-through port - all in just one unit! Connect your monitor, mouse, keyboard, printer, network, modem, and any USB 2.0 devices to the docking station for a convenient all-in-one connectivity solution.
This docking station eliminates the clutter of cables connecting to your computer as it requires only a single VGA/USB combo cable. Additional USB hubs can be attached to allow you to daisy-chain up to 127 devices. Plug-and-play functionality eliminates the need to reboot during installation. This simple station makes desktop use of your laptop amazingly simple, convenient and, most importantly, inexpensive.
We recommend that you read this manual thoroughly and retain for future reference.
