Using the Docking System If you purchase a docking system, your OmniBook becomes even more convenient whenever you work at your desk. By making one connection—plugging your OmniBook into the docking system—you can get convenient access to these types of connections: • Printer. • Modem or other serial device. • External SCSI peripherals, such as a CD-ROM drive or disk drive. • Network access cards. • External keyboard. • External mouse. • External VGA display. • Audio connections. • Power.
If you use the docking system with a 101/102-key keyboard, a mouse, and an external display, your OmniBook is transformed into a “desktop workstation.” When you work at your desk, you can use a standard keyboard, mouse, and display—all tied into your OmniBook. In addition, with a network connection, you can easily tap into the services available on your local network, including the shared resources and workgroup applications provided by Windows for Workgroups.
