You can use the port replicator to connect your notebook computer to another
computer, or to connect other peripherals, such as the Sony Digital Still Camera.
To connect a desktop computer
Use the
symbol to locate the Serial connector on the port replicator. Plug a null-
modem cable (not supplied) into this port and into the serial port on the desktop
computer.
✍
Turn off your computer and the
peripherals, unplug the AC
adapter and the power cord
before connecting the null-

Connect the power cord after
connecting all other cables.
Turn on the peripherals, then turn
on your computer.
