Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
1. Introduction
The TXDOCK Docking Station with Video is a unique expansion
unit designed for computers that have extra connectivity
demands. With just one USB port on the computer, its
connection can be extended to not only USB peripherals, but
also to Ethernet network, speaker, microphone and an additional
monitor. It also offers desktop computer users the convenience of
accessing the peripherals within the reach, eliminating the hassle
of connecting or disconnecting the peripherals from the rear of a
computer.
With the video port, your computer can be connected to one
more monitor, LCD or projector. The connected monitor can be
congured to either mirror your primary screen or extend the
Windows desktop, allowing visibility of more applications at the
same time. No more stacking windows within the connes of a
single display.
The upright design helps to spare your desktop space. Most
peripherals are connected behind while two USB ports and
audio outputs are implemented on the front panel for easier
accessibility. An industry standard security lock is also provided
for anti-theft.

docking station is powered on.
3. Plug the square end of the USB cable into the USB upstream
connector at the back of the docking station.
4. Plug the other end of the USB cable into an available USB 2.0
port on your computer.
Upon the USB connection, your computer will automatically

docking station.

17
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your network
hub, switch or router.
Connecting VGA/DVI Monitor
For DVI models: The equipped DVI-I (DVI-Integrated) connector
transmits both digital and analog signals. This means it supports
either of these two connection types:
• It can be connected to a DVI-D (digital) monitor using a
DVI cable (not provided)
• Or, it can be connected to an analog VGA monitor using
the provided DVI-I to VGA adapter and a VGA cable (cable
not provided).
Upon connection it’s normal for the screen to icker black a
couple of times. Once the connection is made, an extended
screen will appear on the add-on monitor. Sometimes it takes a
moment or two for the add-on monitor to show the video.
For Windows Vista, if the add-on monitor does not appear
automatically, you may need to reboot your system.
See the next chapter for instructions on changing the display
mode.

Connecting USB Devices
Connect your USB devices to the USB ports on the docking
station. As long as one USB device is connected to the port and
the connection works properly, the USB LED glows green (on).
When no USB device is connected to the port, the LED light is off.
If your USB device, such as a printer or optical drive, etc., came
with its own AC adaptor, make sure that it is plugged into the
device and a working electrical outlet.
Connecting Microphone and Speaker/Headphones
To connect your speaker/headphones, insert the plug to the
green hole on the front of the docking station.
To connect a microphone, insert the plug to the pink hole on the
front of the docking station.

3. Using the Docking Station with Video
USB 2.0 Ports
The four USB ports on the docking station function just like
the ports on a USB hub. Simply connect any USB device to the
docking station’s USB ports when required.
• All the four USB ports provide power when the computer is
either off, suspended or hibernated. This means you can use
the USB port for power charging purpose.
• The USB port supports hot-plug feature. You may plug and
unplug an USB device from the docking station at any time
when required.
• Some USB devices, e.g., printers and optical drives, require
higher power to operate. To use these devices, the power
adapter shipped with the device should be plugged into the
device and the mains.
Audio Ports
Prior to using the speaker/microphone connected to the docking
station, you have to correctly congure your application to use
USB (Multimedia) Audio Device, i.e., the audio components of the
docking station.
When the docking station is connected to your computer,
the audio devices named USB (Multimedia) Audio Device are
automatically installed and may override Windows default audio
settings. The most obvious effect is that your original music
playback will be re-directed to the speaker connected to the
docking station. However, it’s possible that users may want to
use original sound card for music playback and use the docking
station’s audio ports for chatting via instant messaging software
(such as MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger or Skype). In such
cases users have to manually congure required audio device for
each application.

20
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
Conguring Windows Audio Device
To specify a sound device for music playback in Windows, open
Control Panel and double-click the sound or audio icon. Then
select a desired device in the playback section. If you want to use
your original sound card for music playback, make sure to select
it instead of USB (Multimedia) Audio Device.
Conguring Instant Messaging Software Audio Device
To chat via instant messaging software using the headphone
and microphone connected to the docking station, make sure
the instant messaging software, such as MSN messenger, Yahoo
messenger or Skype, is congured to use USB (Multimedia)
Audio Device as the audio in and out devices.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port supports Ethernet 10/100 Mbps function.
To connect your computer to a network through the docking
station, attach one end of a network cable (not provided) to the
Ethernet port on the docking station and the other end to your
network hub, switch or router for network access.
