Troubleshooting the Docking Station
I cannot operate the optical drive in the docking station when the docking station is connected to the
computer and the computer is connected to another computer via an i.LINK connection.
To set the i.LINK ® network switch
1. Disconnect your computer from the docking station.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter and all cables from your docking station.
3. Set the i.LINK ® 1 network switch on the bottom of the docking station to the unmarked side with a thin pen tip.
4. Connect the docking station to the computer.
5. Turn on your computer.
Do not set the i.LINK ® network switch when the computer is on. This causes the computer to malfunction.
Set the i.LINK network switch after removing all cables connected to the docking station.
