DOCKPOD IN-DEPTH

STACK&PLAY™ CONNECTOR

Your DockPod has two main functions: 1) to supply electrical power for up to five stacked-on RocketPod modules, and; 2) to relay data signals between those modules, your computer, and other devices connected to the same USB and/or FireWire data buses.

The Stack&Play connector, located on the top-side of your DockPod, is the power and data link to your stacked-on RocketPod modules. The standard power and data connections located on the back of the DockPod are used to connect DockPod to your computer.

STACK LIGHT

The Stack light, located on the fascia of your DockPod, tells you when a proper link has been established between the DockPod and any stacked-on RocketPod modules. The Stack light will be illuminated when your DockPod is powered on and one or more RocketPod peripherals are stacked onto the DockPod.

VOLTAGE METER

15

Your DockPod is equipped with a built-in, analog voltage meter. The voltage meter measures the amount of power used by stacked-on RocketPod modules. Whenever there is a sufficient power fluctuation caused by some activity from a RocketPod module, the needle will fluctuate until a rest state is reached.

POWER BUTTON

When the DockPod is turned on, the power button illuminates with a stunning, deep blue color. DockPod’s power button is also used to control power to stacked-on RocketPod modules.

FIREWIRE AND USB 2.0 COMPATIBILITY

Your DockPod is equipped with both a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface and a FireWire (IEEE 1394a) interface for the ultimate combination of compatibility, convenience and flexibility.

You can use the USB 2.0 connection, or the FireWire connection, or both at the same time. RocketPod Peripherals that are currently available or coming soon are available in either USB 2.0, FireWire, or both USB 2.0 and FireWire Combo configurations.
