Working With The Dock N' Charge - Warpia Dock n’ Charge SWP240A Product Manual

6. Configuring External Displays
This Section describes how to use DisplayLink Software which is
included with the Dock n' Charge and is used to run the external
displays
Notes:
• The DisplayLink System tray Graphical User Interface (GUI), covered below, will only
be available when the Dock n' Charge is plugged into the USB port of the computer
and an external display is plugged into the Dock n' Charge
• Terminology for "Mirror Mode" can vary between operation systems and the
DisplayLink GUI. The terms "Clone", "Mirror", and "Duplicate" are interchangeable and
provide the same function of making the contents of the selected displays identical.
Resolution Support
When a Display is connected to the Dock n' Charge, the DisplayLink host software
reads the supported modes (resolutions) of the Display. These are the only modes
offered through the DisplayLink GUI or Windows Display Properties window. The
software will use the monitor's preferred mode by default.
If the Display does not report any supported modes, DisplayLink will offer a list of
default modes to choose
Note: This communication standard is called EDID. While connecting your external
display directly to your computer may allow you to use other resolutions that what we
provide, we strictly adhere to the EDID protocol. This is the only way to ensure that a
resolution or refresh rate that could cause damage to the external Display is never
used.
Windows 8 & 7 – Controlling the Display
When Displays are attached, an icon appears in the taskbar. This gives you access to
the DisplayLink Manager menu.
