PenCentra 130
These instructions provide details on using the
PenCentra 130 Docking Station with your pen tablet.
The PenCentra 130 Docking Station is best suited for
desktop computing tasks when a quick and tempora r y
connection to peripheral computer equipment is needed
and the pen tablet alone does not provide the necessary
connectivity. The docking station provides the following
interfaces for connection to peripheral computer
equipment (see Figure 1 for locations):
• Serial port
This port allows you to connect an external device with a
serial interface.
Note: • The docking station serial port does not
support the ring indicate feature
• Pin 9 on the docking station serial port does
not supply 5 volts (as the pen tablet does).
• PS/2-style port
This port allows you to attach a PS/2-style mouse or
keyboard.
• USB port
This port allows you to attach a Universal Serial B us
(USB) connector.

Circuitry in the PenCentra 130 and the docking
station is designed to be robust, however, the pen
tablet and connected devices can be damaged if
procedures given in these instructions are not
followed when connecting devices.
To avoid damage to your hardware, observe the
following guidelines when using your docking

This port allows you to connect an AC Adapter to
provide input power. This input can be used for
powering the system while it is running, or for charging
the system battery.
