Parallel Port Connections

Your DockMate is equipped with one DB25 (25-pin)
bidirectional parallel port (device name LPT1). This port
occupies address 0378h, and is designated as LPT1
(default value). Typically, the notebook computer sends
print data to LPT1 unless the menu is configured otherwise.

When using the Parallel Port connection on the DockMate,
the Parallel Port connector on the notebook is disabled.

Video Connector

To install an external VGA monitor (optional), connect the
VGA cable connector to the 15-pin connector on the rear of
the DockMate. The DockMate supports all external
monitors supported by the TM5000. For further
information, refer to the TravelMate 5000 User’s Guide.

n

Note: Refer to the TravelMate 5000 User’s Guide and User’s
Reference Guide
for information on VGA utilities.

AC Connection

Your DockMate must run off of AC power by connecting a
TI AC adapter (TI Part No. 9786094-0003) to the system.
DockMate is designed to be powered by an AC adapter that
is attached to either the connected notebook or to the
DockMate (power transfers through the expansion bus
pins).

Caution: Only a TM5000 AC adapter, TI Part No.
9786094-0003, can be connected to a DockMate.
