Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation
The Dash Port 2 docking station provides an external remote (640x480
VGA) video capability, two additional AUX ports, Ethernet connection
(10BaseT), and AC power to a compatible Dash monitor.
The mechanical hardware is intended to be used in conjunction with the
Dash Port Interface/Isolation PCB to provide a means to quickly and
reliably attach/detach the Dash family of transport monitors.
The docking station can be installed at a bedside location in a health care
facility and in an intra-hospital patient transport.
The docking station is designed to provide electrical and mechanical
connection of AC power and communication devices to the Dash family
monitors and combines AC power to the monitor's AC mains connector,
Ethernet signals to communicate, DC power and asynchronous
communication signals to communicate with ancillary devices.
