wirelessly and, from the product, enjoy various multimedia contents stored on the notebook PC.
You can also use triple monitors by configuring the display settings.

2.3 Connecting the Product to a PC to Use "Central Station"

Connect the product to a PC via Wireless USB and the USB cable.
Connecting the product and PC via Wireless USB and the USB cable will allow you to hear audio when
you plug headphones or speakers into [ ] on the product. (Not available when the D-SUB or HDMI-DVI
cable is connected.)
If a PC is connected, the product will automatically switch to the mode of the detected input source. If
several source devices are connected to the product, the input source will automatically change
according to this priority, from left to right: Wireless USB mode > USB mode > Analog mode > HDMI
mode.
When the product connects to a PC for the first time, the optimum resolution (1920 x 1080) will be
selected automatically and the display will be set to extended mode. For subsequent connections of the
product to the PC, customized resolution settings will be applied.
When multiple display output ports on the PC are connected to the Central Station monitor, different signals may output depending on the system specifications of the PC.

2.4 Utilizing "Central Station"

Central Station is only available when the product is connected to a PC via Wireless USB or a USB cable.

2.4.1 Using the Product as a USB HUB

Using the product as a hub, connect and use various source devices with the product at the same time.
A PC cannot connect to multiple source devices at the same time as it has a limited number of input/
output ports available. The HUB feature on the product will improve your work efficiency by allowing you
to connect multiple source devices to the USB ports on the product at the same time without connecting
them to a PC.
z The product is compatible with a USB 2.0 cable. However, your PC should support USB 3.0 for
the HUB function to work fully.
z If you experience a communication problem with a PC that provides the USB 3.0 function,
download and install the latest driver version from the PC manufacturer.
Using the Product as a USB HUB
If multiple source devices are connected to the PC, the many cables around the PC may look messy.
Connecting the devices directly to the product will resolve such inconvenience.
z To detect and start a source device faster, connect the device to the blue USB 3.0 port on the
back of the product.

2.4.2 Connecting to a LAN

"Central Station" allows you to use the Internet from a PC when you connect a LAN cable to the product
(if the product is connected to the PC), without having to connect the LAN cable directly to the PC.
This is achieved by an internal chip that transmits data received via the LAN cable to the PC as a
converted USB signal.

2.5 Configuring the Central Station Monitor IP

1 After installing the integrated driver for Central Station monitors, go to Control Panel Network
and Internet Network and Sharing Center Change adapter settings.
2 You can see that the following two devices are displayed.
a. The user PC’s network device
b. The Central Station monitor’s network device (USB to Ethernet adapter)
The two devices above refer to your PC’s LAN network device and your Central Station monitor’s
network device.
To use the Internet using the Central Station monitor’s LAN network, configure the network settings as follows according to the type of IP you will be using.

2.5.1 Dynamic IP

The dynamic IP address mode automatically configures the network settings on the PC using data sent
by a server, which allots an IP address. This is possible, owing to the “DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)” service. The service consists of three steps: an IP address allotment request is
sent to the DHCP server when the PC boots up, the DHCP server that received the request transmits
network information such as the IP address to the PC, and the transmitted network information is
automatically registered to the network settings on the PC. The DHCP service is convenient and useful
especially in an environment where multiple PCs are used. Theoretically, the IP address changes each
time the PC boots up (or an IP allotment request is sent); in many cases, however, the existing IP address
is re-allotted. An Internet router performs two roles: creating a private IP address (NAT service) and
automatically allotting the IP address to each PC (DHCP service) at the same time.
When using your Central Station monitor’s or notebook PC’s LAN network, ensure you insert a LAN cable into only one device. Otherwise, a system crash may occur.
Dynamic IP User
1 To use a dynamic IP address, connect a LAN to your Central Station monitor. 2 Next, go to the network settings menu and activate the Central Station monitor’s network device
(select “Use”).

3 Using the network properties menu, check that the IP address mode for the Central Station
monitor’s network device is set to Auto.
Go to Control Panel Network and Internet Network and Sharing Center Change adapter settings. Next, right-click on the Central Station monitor’s network device (marked “LAN9512/LAN9514 USB 2.0 to Ethernet 10/100 Adapter #7”).
Select Properties Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties.

2.5.2 Static IP

To configure the IP address (private or official) on your PC, someone (mostly a server system) must
distribute and allot an IP address to the PC. An official IP address is allotted by your Internet service
provider, and a private IP address is allotted by your Internet router. You can select whether to configure
the IP address on the PC automatically or manually. The static IP address mode is used to manually enter
an IP address. The static IP address mode is suitable if the IP address for the PC should not be changed
(such as for a file sharing server) and generally is not used, except under such special circumstances.
When using your Central Station monitor’s or notebook PC’s LAN network, ensure you insert a LAN cable into only one device. Otherwise, a system crash may occur.

Be sure to perform this process before configuring the IP.
4 Configure the static IP. Assign the static IP that is allotted to the Central Station monitor’s network
device.

To use the notebook PC’s LAN network, set the Central Station monitor’s network to Do not use
and the notebook PC’s network device to Use. Next, configure the IP settings.

2.6 Notice before your use of Wireless USB or USB Mode

1 Most games require a high resolution and fast response time. When you play a game, it is
recommended that you use Analog or HDMI mode instead of Wireless USB or USB mode. Note that playing a game or movie is not supported in Wireless USB or USB mode on a Windows XP or VISTA operating system.
2 Recognizing the Wireless USB or USB mode may take awhile if the mode is used for the first time or
the standby mode is deactivated on the PC.
3 To use the USB HUB function when the monitor is in USB mode (when the monitor is connected to
the USB 2.0 port on the PC) or in Wireless USB mode, it is best to connect a USB cable to the black USB 2.0 port on the monitor.
4 If the PC enters Standby mode when the monitor is in Wireless USB mode, the wireless connection
will be disconnected and the USB HUB function will be disabled.
