Display conguration

Display conguration for Windows computers

USB mode

1. Click the DisplayLink icon that appears in your Windows system tray after you’ve completed

the Hardware Installation for USB mode steps.

2. When the DisplayLink menu opens, click Video Setup to launch the Windows display

settings.

3. Congure the monitor to your desired settings, including resolution and orientation.

Ethernet mode

1. Double-click the Launch USB Server icon on your desktop, to open the USB server

software.

Quick start guide

2. The USB Server software will now display a list of connected devices. If your network

supports DHCP (assigns IP addresses automatically) the video adapter will be listed below

the Devices column along with your display below it and the status of your display will be

listed as Free and you can continue to step 3.

If your network does not support DHCP (such as when the adapter is connected directly

to your computer, without a router) your VGA adapter and display will be listed below

the Devices column, but with a ?icon on the adapter and display, and the status for each

device may be listed as Dierent Network Segment with Error.

If your network does not support DHCP the adapter and your computer will need to have

dierent IP addresses assigned on the same subnet, in order to detect each other. The VGA

adapters default IP address is 192.168.1.50.

Change your computer’s IP address

If your computer’s IP address can be changed to any subnet, if for example the computer

is connected directly to the VGA adapter, the easiest solution is likely assigning your

computer a (static) IP address of 192.168.1.51. For information on how to do this, visit

Microsoft’s Conguring a DHCP server static IP address TechNet article or contact your

network administrator.

Quick start guide

Change the VGA adapter’s IP address

If your computer’s IP address can not be changed, if for example your entire network is on a

non-DHCP network with dierent subnet than the VGA adapter’s default IP address, you can

follow the steps below to congure the VGA adapter to match your network’s subnet.

a) With the USB server application open, right-click on the main VGA video adapter device

and select Server Conguration.

b) Uncheck the Use DHCP option and manually enter an IP address and Subnet Mask that

matches your network settings.

c) Click Set to save your new settings and return to the main window.

1. Your IP extender will appear in the Device list, with the connected VGA display listed below

it. Select the VGA display from the Device list, then click the Connect Device button.

Note: if your VGA display has a built-in audio controller, the audio controller will also be

listed in the Device list, along with any attached USB peripheral devices. Each device

must be connected using the Connect Device button individually, for your computer to

recognize the device.

2. After you click the Connect Device button, the status of the device will change to locally

connected, and your computer will detect the device and automatically install the required

drivers.

Notes:

• To disconnect any device, select it from the Device list and click the Disconnect

Device button.

• When connecting an audio controller, the controller becomes the default audio

device on your computer. Windows does not allow multiple audio devices to be

used simultaneously.

3. Now that your computer has installed the drivers for your display adapter, the DisplayLink

icon will appear in your Windows system tray. Close the USB Server software and click the

DisplayLink icon.

4. Once you click the icon, a menu will open. From the menu click Video Setup, to launch the

Windows display settings.

5. Use the Windows display settings to congure the monitor to your desired settings,

including resolution and orientation.
