Automatically use the wired on wireless LAN connection when using the docking station

Hey guys!

I use the my T500 with the Advanced Mini Dock @TheDude recommended in this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T500-Recommended-Compatible-Docking-Station...

I had almost a month now, and whenever I anchor my laptop I have to pass the connection wireless switch off hard or using FN + F5 and extinguish this particular radio.

Is it possible to have the computer automatically choose the wired connection when it is available, otherwise use the wireless radio?

I use Windows 7 Prof 64 bit.

Thank you

ThinkVantage Access Connections (AC) can be configured to do this. Change your location profile and change the order of the adapter associated with this place, for example, order first as Wired and Wireless second.

When I am connected Wired and I pull the Ethernet cable, AC will switch to using wireless automatically. When I put the Ethernet back in, it starts automatically by using the wired and wireless don't report limited or no connectivity (which means that the switch has occurred). You will have to perhaps set up wireless in AC power options, i.e. disable radio when not in use (I did not sentence again).

This could be similar to a docking station solution. Mine is without docking station; When I'm at the office and go to a meeting, I pull the wire and have continuity.

Ideally, the CA should provide a solution. But it may take some fiddling.

    With Docking Station, you can connect all the cables for printer, keyboard and mouse, adapter directly to the charging station.

    So whenever you use a laptop, you have just dock the laptop on the docking station and not need to re connect all cables again.

    This will help you when you move frequently with the laptop.

    With the way the place of sessions 11 is in the docking station, it would be quite difficult to have a connected keyboard because he wouldn't level with your office.  If you use the docking station, shouldn't you already have an existing configuration of the Office you can take the keyboard and mouse of?

  • sound on laptop lost when it is connected to the docking station

    laptop connected to the docking station and audio comes through the audio connection [headphones] on docking station.  No sound on computer

    Hello

    ·         If it works well before? If so, remember to do recent changes on the computer before this problem?

    When you connect the laptop to the docking station, the default audio output device will automatically change to the docking station. Similarly, in the case of plug in the headphones on laptop. I suggest you to check if the audio device by default from computer speakers is properly defined. Follow these steps:

    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click sound.

    b. click the read tab make sure that the correct default audio device is selected. (For most users, the default audio device is pregnant.)

    c. If your default device is not set to the right audio device, on the read tab, select the appropriate device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and make sure that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, click OK.

    d. on the read tab, select the playback device, click set upand make sure that the configurations are set correctly.

    If the sound settings are set correctly and that your speakers are already set as default device, go to "Check if an audio driver is installed" now.

    e. Select the audio device you want as audio device by default, and then click set as default.

    f. click OK to save your settings.

  • No bass when you use the docking station to not probe

    When I use the out port of my docking station (Series edited by moderator) I get no bass sound, just hail my wide range speaker. When the speakers are plugged into the headphone jack directly on the laptop it normal sound, with a full range of sounds. I checked the setting in the CP of its speakers are identified as the range, so this isn't the issue. There is no sound improvement enabled in Control Panel SRS. I'm puzzled. Why no bass when you use the docking station only. I tried two different docking stations with the same result: no bass.

    Yes! I finally solved it on my system:

    • Go to the control panel
    • Choose the material and audio

    or simply to display all Control Panel items

    • Select SRS Premium Sound Pro (it's an icon of circle blue/white)
    • Wait for the program to come black EQ
    • Select the tab/words "listening experience" near the top of the window of SRS Premium Sound PRO
    • Uncheck the 'improvement of Audio '.

    Fact

    In addition, there is the graphic equalizer in there that totally works well to further fine tune your desired speaker and the audio preference.

  • T410 does not connect to the docking station

    I have a Lenovo T410 and a docking station 4338. When I tried to join the computer to the docking station last night, he would not go. I don't see any obstruction or something wrong with the plug on each unit; the computer can't accumulate up as before.

    I have another station host I can try, which should help to determine which device is the problem, but I won't have access to him until next week.

    Have someone has encountered a problem like this? Any suggestions to correct?

    I compared the two docking stations and identified the problem. There are two plastic hooks built into the base, one to the right of the connector, one left and below. In a station works correctly these hooks are discarded because the computer is inserted, then spring back, now in place.

    On my post of malfunction the hooks were stuck, prevent the computer from insertion.

    I was able to fix the problem by pushing hooks with my finger, which take them off. If they stick once again I can try a Lube graphite.

  • Tecra M11 - 17V - identify the serial port on the docking station

    I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra M11 - 17V, which I often use with the docking station that accompanies it.
    There is a DB9 serial port at the back of the docking station, but I don't know what COM Port.

    I use Windows 7.

    In the device, COM9 Manager - COM22 are identified as Port BT (bluetooth). Com7 - COM8 are RIM Virtual Serial Port v2, COM17 is Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port and COM18 is USB-Serial CH340.

    I thought that COM17 or COM18 were the most likely candidates, but have not been able to get to answer using one of them.

    I connect a Psion 5 (Comms app) to him and have developed ports and the Psion 8bits, 19200 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit.

    Hello

    > There is a serial port DB9 on the back of the docking station, but I don't know what COM Port, it is

    I think you have misunderstood something wrong
    COM ports in Device Manager are virtual com ports
    There is no link between a serial port and a virtual com port.

    I have a question: what docking station you have exactly?

    I had an express port replicator and this device required an additional serial port driver installation.
