Note
: Your configuration will depend on the number of handhelds you normally have in
your classroom. It is not necessary to set up three or four docking stations if you only
need one or two.
Setting up Multiple Docking Stations
The CX docking station can support up to 50 handhelds in five docking stations. When
connecting five CX docking stations together, TI recommends using two USB ports with
two docking stations on one port and three stations on the other port. All CX docking
stations must be connected to a power outlet.
Complete the following steps to configure multiple docking stations.
1. Place the docking stations on the surface.
2. Insert the AC adapters into each docking station, and then connect adapters to a
power strip or wall outlet.
When using multiple docking stations to charge batteries or transfer files, you
must connect each docking station to a power outlet or power strip.
3. Link the docking stations together with USB cables. The standard-A port is used to
transfer data out. The mini-B port is used to transfer data in.
4. Connect the teacher computer to the closest docking station (for data transfer).
