X10gx RF and Non-RF Vehicle Docks
Using the X10gx in a Vehicle Dock
There are two vehicle docks specially designed for the X10gx: the RF dock and the non-RF
dock (see
). Both have an automatic power switching feature, but only the
RF dock has the capability to connect to external antennas.
In earlier X10 series tablets, the 5 VDC power pins in the docking connector were always active
to ensure power to the docking stations. Both the RF and Non-RF docks have a “dock sense”
pin that tells the X10gx when it is docked. This allows the X10gx to turn off power to the docking
pins when the tablet is undocked, and turn power back on when it is docked.
Automatic
P
ower Switching Feature
If you have the X10gx RF dock (DRS P/N 9800F26200-0000), you will be able to connect your
X10gx tablet to external WWAN and GPS antennas, which will dramatically improve reception.
These antennas are automatically switched into the tablet antenna circuits by an RF multiplexer
when the tablet is docked and switched out when it is undocked. Either one or both antennas
can be enabled using the Wireless Devices dialog in ARMORUtils (
The X10gx RF Dock

instructions in Table 3.
