Feature Purpose
Wake On LAN When a computer in sleep or hibernation mode is connected to the port replicator,
this feature turns on the computer when a wake-up signal is received from a connected LAN cable.
Wake Up (USB) When a computer in sleep or hibernation mode is connected to the port replicator,
this feature turns on the computer when a wake-up signal is received from a device connected to a USB port.
Note: When the Wake Up (USB) feature is enabled and the docked computer is in sleep or hibernation mode, the computer’s AC power light may be on or off, depending on the computer model. In either case, the computer will turn on when a wake-up signal is received from a USB device.
■ Do not use the AC adaptor that was included with your computer. Always use the Toshiba AC
adaptor that was provided with this product or use Toshiba recommended alternate adaptors to avoid any risk of fire and/or other damage to the computer and/or port replicator. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire and/or damage to the computer and/or port replicator, possibly resulting in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.
■ When you connect the AC adaptor to the port replicator, always follow the steps in the exact order
as described below. Connecting the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step, otherwise the adaptor DC output plug could hold an electrical charge and cause an electrical shock or minor bodily injury when touched. As a general safety precaution, avoid touching any metal parts.
