Description:
This driver supports the DLO HomeDock Pro iPod dock.
DLO HomeDock Pro
The HomeDock Pro includes a RJ45 to DB9 female adaptor. The RTI RJS-232 can be attached directly and a null modem is not required.
Important Note: Do not connect the RJ45 control port of the XP-8 and HomeDock Pro directly together with a network cable as this is not compatible.
General Settings
Serial Port: Choose the serial port that the HomeDock Pro is connected to.
Force On-Screen Navigation Mode: When enabled, the HomeDock will be forced into On-Screen Navigation Mode. It will continue to force the HomeDock into On-Screen Navigation Mode even if the user places the HomeDock into iPod Mode.
Note: The HomeDock Pro has two distinct modes: On-Screen Navigation Mode and iPod Mode. iPod Mode allows you to operate the iPod directly while in the HomeDock. The HomeDock must be in the On-Screen Navigation Mode for 2-way feedback. When the driver initializes, it will put the HomeDock into On-Screen Navigation Mode.
Note: When the HomeDock Screen Saver is active, feedback will stop. Go to Settings > Screen Saver Time and select Never to disable the Screen Saver.

Dock Mode: Indicates whether the dock is in iPod mode or Dock mode (On Screen Navigation Mode).
Note: Item List Data is not supported as the driver emulates the On-Screen GUI of the HomeDock Pro. The HomeDock Pro does not sync and provide all of the data available from the iPod.
