INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the MANHATTAN® Multi-Port Docking Station with Enhanced
Video, Model 179102.

This handy device replicates a wide range of ports with a single USB connection so you can
easily install additional peripherals with a convenient all-in-one solution. Combined with primary,
extended, rotation and mirror functions, it helps increase productivity, improve “desktop”
arrangements and extend the visual work area across dual monitors with less overlapped
windows, fewer hidden palettes and better-organized views. Its enhanced capabilities provide
SVGA and widescreen resolution support up to 1920 x 1200 in 16-bit color and standard
monitor resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 in 16/32-bit color.

A four-port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub with RJ45 10/100 Mbps network, SVGA (HD15 female),
stereo headset and microphone ports help notebook computer users to quickly reconnect

to home/ofce-based peripherals. Desktop computer users can bring additional, convenient

ports to the front of the case to help reduce tangled cables for a neater workspace. USB 1.1
compatibility supports older devices and provides Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer speeds up
to 480 Mbps for external storage, printing and other activities

The easy-to-follow instructions in this user manual help make setup and operation quick and
simple, so you’ll also soon be enjoying the benets of these additional features:

• Provides four Hi-Speed USB 2.0, two audio, one 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 and one SVGA ports
to connect additional peripherals

• Plug and Play – Windows compatible

• Lifetime Warranty

NOTE: Some screen images have been modied to t the format of this user manual.

FUNCTIONS

The Multi-Port Docking Station works
with LCD or CRT monitors. Click the UVD
icon to choose one of three modes:
Primary, Extended and Mirror (plus Off
and Rotation options).

Clicking the UVD icon
also provides access to
the Resolution options,
which can be changed
here or by going to
Display Properties/
Settings (see below).

11

FUNCTIONS

Primary Mode

The system’s main graphics adapter will automatically switch to act as the secondary graphics
adapter, and the main screen will now work as the extended desktop. The monitor connected
to the Multi-Port Docking Station will now act as the primary Windows desktop. NOTE: Some
display utilities and drivers found with certain AGP (accelerated graphics port) and built-in
display adapters may prevent this option from working on some systems. You can disable the
other utility program (usually in the same toolbar located on the bottom-right corner of the
desktop) to make this function work properly.

Extended Mode

By default, the monitor connected to the Multi-Port Docking Station will work as the “extended”
desktop, which expands the primary Windows desktop of your system. You can change the
relative position of this extended desktop in Display Properties/Settings.

Mirror Mode

In this mode, the Windows desktop will be replicated, or “mirrored,” to the secondary CRT/LCD
monitor. The screen resolution setting on the secondary monitor will follow the primary screen’s
resolution. If the selected resolution setting is not supported by the primary screen, however,
a warning dialog box will be displayed and the suggested screen resolution will be shown.

12

FUNCTIONS

Off

This option simply disables the Multi-Port Docking Station.

Rotation

This presents further options —
“Right,” “Left,” “Flip” or “Normal”
— for setting the orientation of
the secondary CRT/LCD
monitor in Extendedor Primary
mode.

FAQ

Following are some frequently asked questions — and answers — regarding the installation
or operation of the Multi-Port Docking Station.

Q: Why can’t I make the Hi-Speed Multi-Port Docking Station the primary display?
A: Some video card manufacturers include a utility that prevents other video cards from being

set as the primary card. Check the bottom- right corner taskbar for the utility, and disable
the utility before designating the Multi-Port Docking Station as the primary display.

Q: Why won’t my DVD player work when I move it over to the extended display?
A: Some DVD playback software packages don’t support playing on a second display adapter

of any kind. You can try opening the program in the secondary display rst before playing
the DVD.

Q: Why won’t my video play on Media Player if I move it over to the extended desktop?
A: Check that you’ve moved the Media Player window completely over to the second screen.

Q: Why doesn’t my mouse move past the right side of the screen as it should on an

extended desktop?

A: Check the display settings and make sure that your display No. 2 is on the right side of
display No. 1. You can rearrange how Windows treats displays in relation to each other in
Display Properties/Settings.

Q: Why are there are lines running horizontally up and down my screen?
A: This is due to a low refresh rate setting. You can change this by going to Display Properties/

Settings → Advanced Settings. NOTE: Make sure you select the USB 2.0 VGA device rst
and not set the refresh rate higher than what your monitor can support, as this can damage
your monitor. You can also try to reset/refresh/resynchronize your monitor.

Q: Why doesn’t Direct3D work?
A: This is a current limitation of the Multi-Port Docking Station. Check for driver updates in the

future to add support for this. If your application requires this, use the main display adapter.

OPERATION TIPS

Following are some tips that may help if you are experiencing any difculties using the Multi­Port Docking Station. Contact your dealer for additional assistance, if needed.

• Check to make sure that all connectors are plugged in correctly.
