About the docking station ports
The
USB 3.0 ports
on the on the docking station (one on the front and three on the
rear) are standard USB 3.0 throughput ports. When the dock is connected to a host
laptop, these ports provide a trickle charge to a selection of USB-charged devices.
The
USB 3.0 fast-charge and sync ports
the docking station (one on the front and
one on the rear) are compliant with USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2
(BC1.2), which means that you can use the port to connect and charge a device faster
than you can using a traditional standard USB 3.0 port.
This front USB 3.0 port can fast-charge a connected device even when the dock isn’t
connected to a host laptop. When the docking station is connected to a host laptop,
the front USB 3.0 port functions as a Charging Downstream Port (CDP), which has
simultaneous charge and sync capabilities.
The provided power adapter must always be connected to the docking station in order
to charge a device using the
USB 3.0 fast-charge and sync port
.
