Introduction to Connectivity Peripherals 1-1
Chapter 1
Getting Started
This chapter provides an overview of the Point 510 and Point 1600 connectivity
peripherals and their features.
Introduction to Connectivity Peripherals 1
The Point 510 and Point 1600 connectivity peripherals provide additional interface
capabilities and other additional functionality to your pen tablet system. In general,
connectivity peripherals are designed to connect to the pen tablet in one simple
operation and provide connections to various computer equipment. Table 1-1
provides a quick look at the interfaces provided by each of the connectivity
peripherals. The specific sections comprising the rest of the chapter outline the
interfaces and functionality of each of the peripherals.
* The PS/2-style port on the PPE can be used for either a mouse or keyboard on the Point 1600;
on the Point 510, it can only be used for a mouse.
** Although the wall-mount cradle includes a mouse port, the mouse port is not used in the
wall-mount cradle.

1-2 Getting Started
Portable Port Expander 1
The Point 510/Point 1600 portable port expander is best suited for mobile computing
tasks when a quick and temporary connection to peripheral computer equipment is
needed and the pen tablet alone does not provide the necessary connectivity.
Figure 1-1. Portable Port Expander - Bottom View
Figure 1-2. Portable Port Expander - Top View
The portable port expander provides the following interfaces for connection to
peripheral computer equipment:
• Serial port A
• Serial port B
• PS/2-style mouse/keyboard port (This port can only be used with a mouse on the
Point 510; on the Point 1600, it can be used either with a mouse or a keyboard).
• Parallel port
• Floppy disk drive port
• Video port

Port Replicator 1-3
Port Replicator 1
The Point 510/Point 1600 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 adds
connectivity that is not built into the Point 510 and Point 1600 pen tablets. Typically,
the port replicator is connected to peripheral computer equipment and the pen tablet
is then inserted in the port replicator when the peripheral equipment is needed.
Note: The port replicator for the Point 510 and the Point 1600 is available in two
versions: locking and non-locking. The locking version includes a lock (also called
a “tubular lock” elsewhere in this manual) to secure the pen tablet to the port
replicator. The illustrations and procedures provided in this document address the
locking version.
Figure 1-3. Point 510/Point 1600 Port Replicator
The port replicator provides the following peripheral interfaces and connectors:
• Serial port A
• Serial port B
• Parallel port
• Floppy disk drive port
• Video port
• PS/2-style keyboard port
• PS/2-style mouse port
• DC power input

1-4 Getting Started
High-Usage Cradle 1
The Point 510/Point 1600 high-usage cradle is designed for environments where the
pen tablet is frequently inserted into and removed from the cradle. The high-usage
cradle is equipped with special “high-usage” connector pins that are designed to
withstand a much higher number of pen tablet insertion and removal operations.
This cradle is best suited for desk- or counter-top installations where the cradle
remains stationary.
Note: The high-usage cradle for the Point 510 and the Point 1600 is available in two
versions: locking and non-locking. The locking version includes a tubular lock to
secure the pen tablet into the cradle. The illustrations and procedures provided in
this document address the locking version
Figure 1-4. High-Usage Cradle
The high-usage cradle provides connections for the following interfaces:
• PS/2-style keyboard
• PS/2-style mouse
•DCinput

High-Usage Cradle 1-5
The high-usage cradle is similar in appearance to the high-connectivity cradle. To
distinguish between the two, observe that the high-usage cradle is equipped only
with high-usage connector pins and does not have a connector that contacts the
system interface port on the pen tablet; the high-connectivity cradle has both. The
following figure shows the location of the high-usage connector pins on the
high-usage cradle.

1-6 Getting Started
High-Connectivity Cradle 1
The high-connectivity cradle provides several additional peripheral interfaces that
neither the high-usage cradle nor the pen-tablet alone provide. This cradle is best
suited for desk- or counter-top installations where the cradle remains stationary.
Note: The high-connectivity cradle for the Point 510 and the Point 1600 is available in
two versions: locking and non-locking. The locking version includes a tubular lock
to secure the pen tablet into the cradle. The illustrations and procedures provided
in this document address the locking version.
Figure 1-6. High-Connectivity Cradle
The high-connectivity cradle provides the following peripheral connectors:
• Serial port A
• Serial port B
• Parallel port
• Floppy disk drive port

High-Connectivity Cradle 1-7
• Video port
• PS/2-style keyboard port
• PS/2-style mouse port*
• DC power input
* The high-connectivity cradle, due to its modular design, is equipped with
two mouse ports. Note that only one mouse port can be used at a time.
Note that the high-connectivity cradle is similar in appearance to the high-usage
cradle. To distinguish the two, observe that the high-connectivity cradle is equipped
with a system interface connector; the high-usage cradle does not have the connector.
Figure 1-7 shows the location of the system interface connector on the
high-connectivity cradle.

1-8 Getting Started
Wall-Mount Cradle 1
The wall-mount cradle is designed to be installed on a wall. It has a built-in keyboard
tray, and allows the pen tablet to be charged as it is being used.
Note: The wall-mount cradle for the Point 510 and the Point 1600 is available in two
versions: locking and non-locking. The locking version includes a tubular lock to
secure the pen tablet into the cradle. The illustrations and procedures provided in
this document address the locking version.
The wall-mount cradle provides the following interface connectors:
• DC power input
• PS/2-style keyboard port
• PS/2-style mouse port*
* Due to the modular design of the Point 510 and Point 1600 connectivity
peripherals, the mouse port is not used in most wall-mounted installations
because the wall mount cradle is designed specifically to be used with a
keyboard and does not provide space to use a mouse.
The following illustration shows the wall-mount cradle with a keyboard and pen
tablet installed (keyboard and pen tablet sold separately)
.
Figure 1-8. Wall-Mount Cradle

Charge-Only Cradle 1-9
Charge-Only Cradle 1
The charge-only cradle is designed for a desk- or counter-top installation where a
quick connection to a DC power source (only) 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 connector pins on the cradle are “high-usage” type connectors and are
designed to withstand a large number of insertion and removal operations.
Figure 1-9. Charge-Only Cradle

1-10 Getting Started
Folding Desk Stand 1
The FMWDS3 folding desk stand is recommended for use with the port replicator.
The desk stand can be locked into place in five positions, one folded position and
four open positions. The four open positions allow you to set up the desk stand in
four different viewing angles. A storage pouch is provided with the desk stand.
