	parallel connector.

COM 2:	COM 2 on most docking solutions is a full, nine-
	pin DB-9 serial connector, although only a
	subset of standard signals are supported.
Thumb	Thumbscrews secure a positive connection.
screws:	Insert the port replicator fully before engaging
	thumbscrews. Be careful not to over tighten
	thumbscrews.

The standard port replicator also doubles as a desktop stand for the HAMMERHEAD RT. Simply press the male docking connector on the port replicator into the female docking connector on the back of the unit. The connectors are correctly oriented and only fit in one direction. It is impossible to join them incorrectly. Make sure the connector is fully inserted confirming the port replicator fits snuggly against the back of the computer. Turn the thumbscrews in a clockwise direction to ensure a reliable, positive connection. Do not over tighten. Do not connect the port replicator to the computer while power is attached to the port replicator. Attach the port replicator and then attach the power to the port replicator.

Flat port replicators and custom cable sets are available when connectivity is needed while the unit is mobile. External power should be connected to the port replicators after being firmly connected to the HAMMERHEAD RT. Some custom configurations provide access to ports in the computer housing.

Desktop docking station

The Desktop Docking Station (DESKDOCK) provides complete connectivity and integrated options (e.g. LAN adapter, fax/modem, etc.) for using the HAMMERHEAD RT on a desktop.

The DESKDOCK offers the following connectors for the connection of external devices:

•Two RS-232 serial ports (COM1 and COM2 – 3-wire serial)

•One Centronics-compatible parallel port/floppy interface

•One keyboard port

•Power connector

If the HAMMERHEAD RT is equipped with video output capabilities, one COM port can be used as a VGA port. If a DESKDOCK is equipped for communication with a network, the connection is made through the USB port.

Vehicle docking

The HAMMERDOCK offers compact versatile mounting for a variety of automobiles. The one-piece aluminum body ensures sturdy docking with no adjustments. The HAMMERDOCK has tilt swivel functionality, a built- in keyboard tray, and a push button key lock. A breakout box with a 3- foot or 6-foot cable provides convenient installation for permanent connections.
