Chapter 1
Introduction to Connectivity Peripherals
Connectivity peripherals for the Point 510 and Point 1600 pen tablet systems are engineered using
modular design principles. Each connectivity peripheral is assembled using components which may be
used in different connectivity peripheral products. Components that make up connectivity peripherals
are shipped unassembled.
This chapter gives an introduction to each connectivity peripheral. Use this chapter to verify that the
components comprising the connectivity peripheral you intend to assemble are present. For details on
assembling these peripherals, refer to the appropriate section of Chapter 2.
Table 1-1 shows the model numbers for connectivity peripheral products. Note that some models are
available in locking and non-locking versions. The components used to assemble each connectivity
peripheral are described later in this chapter.
* The type of cradle module (locking or non-locking) installed in this assembly determines
whether the connectivity peripheral is a locking or non-locking version.
†The cradle module is not sold as a separate product. It is sold as a component of other
connectivity peripherals.

Cradle Module
1-3
Cradle Module 1
The cradle module is a central component in the following connectivity peripherals:
• port replicator
• high-usage cradle
• high-connectivity cradle
• wall-mount cradle
The cradle module holds the pen tablet when it is inserted in these connectivity peripherals. Two types of
cradle modules are available, a locking version (cradle module FMW26CR8), and a non-locking version
(cradle module FMW26CR28). The non-locking version is not equipped with the tubular lock and cradle
latches that are present on the locking version. The locking version of the cradle module is used to
assemble locking versions of connectivity peripherals while the non-locking version of the cradle module
is used to assemble the non-locking connectivity peripherals.
Assembly and installation instructions given in this manual generally refer to the locking version of the
cradle module; however, these instructions also apply to the non-locking version (with the exception of
instructions regarding locking and latching the pen tablet into the cradle module).
The Portable Port Expander 1
The portable port expander is best suited for mobile computing tasks where a quick and temporary
connection to peripheral computer equipment is needed and the pen tablet alone does not provide the
necessary connectivity.
The portable port expander is shipped from the factory fully assembled and ready for use. The portable
port expander is equipped with a mechanical latch and spacer that help secure the portable port expander
to the pen tablet. Before using the portable port expander, confirm that the latch and spacer are installed
on the portable port expander. See “Portable Port Expander” on page 2-1 for details.

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.)

Wall-Mount Cradle 1
The wall-mount cradle provides a folding keyboard tray and can be located in hallways or other wall
areas to give mobile workers a convenient place to store the pen tablet, input data with a keyboard and
connect the pen tablet to an external power source. Locking versions are equipped with a tubular lock
which allows you to lock the pen tablet into the cradle. The wall-mount cradle is assembled using a cradle
module, wall-mount base, and a keyboard.
Charge-Only Cradle 1
The charge-only cradle is designed for a desk-top or counter-top installation where a quick connection to
a DC power source is needed. The pen tablet can be placed in the charge-only cradle and used while
external DC power is supplied by the cradle. The cradle accommodates the pen tablet with or without the
hand strap (FMWHS5) attached. The connector pins on the cradle are “high-usage” type connectors and
are designed to withstand a large number of insertion and removal operations. The charge-only cradle is
shipped from the factory fully assembled. An AC adapter (shipped with the pen tablet and also sold
separately) is required to provide power to the cradle.

Portable Port Expander 2
The portable port expander can be used alone with the pen tablet or it can be installed in the cradle
module as a component in other connectivity peripheral assemblies.
The portable port expander is equipped with a latch mechanism and spacer to allow it to be attached
directly to the pen tablet. For details on attaching the portable port expander to the pen tablet and
connecting peripheral devices, refer to the Connectivity Peripherals User’s Guide.
Removing the Latch and Spacer (For Installation in Cradle Module Only) 2
The portable port expander is shipped with two extra screws that are used if the portable port expander
is installed in the cradle module as a component in another connectivity peripheral assembly. If you plan
to install the portable port expander in the cradle module, you must first remove the latch and spacer. To
do so, remove the screws (called out in Figure 2-1) that fasten the latch and spacer to the portable port
expander. (Save the latch, spacer, and screws in case they are needed later.) Once the latch is removed,
the portable port expander can be installed in the cradle module.
