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.
Caution
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 
station: 
• Do not touch connector pins or connector 
sockets on y our equ ipm en t. Electros tati c 
discharge ca n damage interface circuitry in your 
equipment. 
• Do not connect or disconnect any device when 
the system is running. Alw ays turn off devices 
and suspend system operation before 
connecting to or disconnecting peripheral 
devices.
• Do not use corres ponding co nnectors on the pen 
tablet and the docking station simultaneously. 
Interfaces on th e pen table t are duplicate d by the 
docking station. Connecting devices to 
equivalent connectors on the pen tablet and 
docking station at the same time could damage 
equipment. 
• Do not jam or force component connections.
•  DC input 
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.
The following illustration shows the location of 
peripheral interfaces on the docking station.
