INTRODUCTION

Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 DockStation (the
DockStation). This low-cost universal docking station solution will give
you, by far, the easiest and most convenient way to connect devices to
your laptop, or legacy-free PC. It lets you connect your devices to the
DockStation, and leave them in that setup when you travel with your
laptop; when you return, you can instantly reconnect your multiple
devices to your computer using just one cable, with Plug and Play
ease—you don’t even need to reboot.
The DockStation provides two Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports, one 10/100
Ethernet port, a full-speed parallel port for your printer, a serial port to
connect your modem, digital camera, PDA, and one VGA pass-through
port for connecting a full-size monitor.
