INTRODUCTION  
En  
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.
