High-Speed USB 2.0 Docking Station
3. Operation Notes About the Ports
When connecting peripheral devices to the docking station, pay attention to the following
notes:
LAN Port:
This port supports Ethernet 10/100 Mbps function.
Audio In/Out port:
This port supports audio out (Earphone) & audio In (Microphone) function.
USB Hub Ports:
When connecting a USB device to one of the downstream USB ports of the docking station,
make sure to follow the software installation manual accompanied (if any) with this USB
device.
Serial Port
:
Note that serial port is not a plug and play interface. If you connect a serial port device (e.g.
a modem) to the docking station and the docking station is connected to a PC already, you
need to perform the
Add New Hardware
function from the
Control Panel
or remove and
re-plug the docking station to the PC to find the device and perform the function.
USB-to-serial interface:
The interface was designed to work with modems or any serial device that has drivers
capable of handling “VIRTUAL PORT”. The mice of serial type are old devices and most of
their drivers recognize physical serial ports only. Thus, the compatibility of the USB-to-serial
interface and the serial mouse is not guaranteed at all. There are rare few cases that it can
work, but for the majority of the serial mice, they are not compatible with the USB-to-serial
interface.
