3. Using the Docking Station with Video 

Video Port 

Display Modes 

There are several ways you can utilize the monitor attached on the docking station. 
The add-on monitor can be configured to use either “mirror mode”, “extended 
mode” or be the primary display as described in this section.   

Extend Your Windows Desktop to Add-on Monitor (Default) 

In this so-called “extended mode”, your display will be spread over the add-on 
monitor(s). This mode allows you to perform multiple tasks more effectively without 
overlapping windows.   

 

Extended mode is the default setting. To set up the video component to use or 
restore extended mode, follow these steps:   

1.  Position the mouse anywhere on your computer desktop, right-click and select 

Personalize

 > 

Display Settings

 on Vista or 

Properties

 > 

Settings

 on 

XP/2000. 

2.  In the 

Display

 drop-down menu, select the option with the string “

DisplayLink 

Graphics Adapter

”. 

3. Check 

the 

Extend the desktop onto this monitor 

box on Vista or 

Extend my 

Windows desktop onto this monitor 

box on XP/2000. 

4.  Drag the icons in the window at the top of the screen to match the physical 

arrangement of your primary monitor and add-on monitor. 

The add-on monitor connected to the docking station may be identified as 
either "2" or “3”, depending on your computer, although there may not be a total 
of 3 screens connected.
