Introduction to Connectivity Peripherals

Port Replicator

1

The port replicator provides the combined features of the portable port expander, plus additional
keyboard and power connectors. The port replicator is assembled by installing the portable port expander
in the cradle module. For assembly instructions, see “Assembling the Port Replicator” in Chapter 2 of this
manual.

The port replicator is best suited for use on a desk top and is designed for use with the FMWDS3 folding
desk stand. The port replicator replicates ports that are built into the pen tablet and adds connectivity that
is not built in. Typically, the port replicator is connected to peripheral computer equipment and the pen
tablet can then be inserted in the port replicator when the peripheral equipment is needed.

High-Usage Cradle

1

The high-usage cradle is designed for applications where the pen tablet is inserted into and removed
from the cradle frequently. The high-usage cradle is equipped with special “high-usage” connector pins
that are designed to withstand a high number of pen tablet insertion and removal operations. This cradle
is best suited for desk-top or counter-top installations where the cradle remains stationary. Locking
versions are equipped with a tubular lock which allows you to lock the pen tablet into the cradle. The
high-usage cradle assembly includes the cradle module and the cradle base. An AC adapter must also be
installed in the cradle base if the cradle is to provide power to the system. (An AC adapter is shipped
with each pen tablet and can also be purchased separately.)
