Using the Tablet PC Docking Station and Screen Protector A USB hub is a connecting device that can be powered or unpowered. Powered hubs must be connected to external power. Unpowered hubs must be connected either to a USB connector on the Docking Station or to a powered hub. USB hubs can be connected to a USB connector on the Docking Station or to other USB devices. Hubs support varying numbers of USB devices and are used to increase the number of USB devices in the system. Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device. For software information about a specific device, refer to the documentation included with the device. Using Communications Devices To connect the system to a network when the tablet PC is docked to the Docking Station, insert the network cable into the RJ-45 network jack on the back of the Docking Station and not into the RJ-45 network jack on the tablet PC.
