Abstract: Example implementations relate to docking stations. A docking station can include a power sensing component to determine an amount of supplied power received from a power supply coupled to the docking station, a host power port to power a host device (HD), a peripheral power port (PPP) to power a peripheral device, and a controller to receive a signal indicative of a change in power demands of a HD or power demands of a PPP, redetermine an amount of host power in response to on the detected change, redetermine an amount of dock power in response to the detected change, and cause transmission of the redetermined host power to the HD and the redetermined dock power to the PPP.

Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a first interface, an upstream device detector, a second interface, and a processor. The first interface receives a multi-channel connection. The upstream device detector is to detect a connection to external graphical processor unit (eGPU) via the first interface. The second interface is to connect a peripheral device that transmit data over the multi-channel connection via the first interface through the eGPU and to a host computer. The processor disables a portion of the multi-channel connection on the first interface when the upstream device detector detects the connection to the eGPU.

Abstract: Examples relate to configuration parameter transfer. An apparatus may include a memory resource storing executable instructions. Instructions may include instructions to receive a first signal from a host computing device. Instructions may further include instructions to initiate communications with the host computing device in response to receiving the first signal. Instructions may further include instructions to receive a configuration parameter from the host computing device in response to initiation of communications with the host computing device. The apparatus may further include a processing resource to execute the instructions stored on the memory resource.
