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.
