Chapter. 3

Using Smart Station

What is Smart Station?

Smart Station refers to an advanced-concept monitor that offers enhanced usability by providing useful new functions such as Wireless Connection, USB Hub, and Mobile Control.

The system is optimized especially for notebook PC users.

Wireless Connection

Smart Station provides a clean cable-free working environment through the Wireless

Connection feature.

• Insert a small wireless-connection dongle to your PC. The PC will automatically connect to

your Smart Station monitor without the need of a cable.

• The Smart Station monitor automatically detects and connects to a notebook PC (where the wireless-connection dongle is inserted) that is within range. The screen will automatically turn off when the notebook PC is moved out of range.

USB Display / USB Hub

Using older monitors can be inconvenient when using the USB Hub function because you need to connect a USB cable in addition to a display-output cable (D-sub, DVI, etc.).

The USB Display feature of the Smart Station monitor enables the USB Hub and display output to function at the same time using a single USB cable.

• The USB Hub provides three USB ports and one mobile port.

• Unlike notebook PCs and older monitors (that have a limited number of ports) being unable to connect to multiple source devices, the Smart Station monitor allows you to use multiple source devices at the same time using the HUB feature.

• If a wireless connection is established, you can use the wireless USB Hub function without the need to connect a USB cable.

Using Smart Station

Mobile Control

Connect the Smart Station monitor to your PC and mobile device such as a smartphone. You can control the mobile device using the keyboard and mouse connected to the PC. This

feature will allow you to use various services such as SNS more conveniently.

• Sharing a keyboard and mouse: You can control both your mobile device and PC using a single keyboard and mouse.

NOTE

• You can use three monitors by conguring the display settings.

• Wireless Connection is supported on Series 7 only.

• Mobile Control supports only mobile devices that have the USB Host function. Support for this feature

depends on the specications of your mobile device.

• Galaxy S2 is supported. Galaxy S2 from Sprint (available in the US market) is not supported because it

does not have the USB Host function.

• To nd if your mobile device supports USB Host, contact the device manufacturer.

Read the Following before Using the Wireless Connection / USB Hub Functions

1. To use the Wireless Connection / USB Hub functions, connect your PC to the Smart Station

monitor using the wireless-connection dongle or USB cable.

2. The USB Display function enables both the display output and USB Hub to function with a

single USB cable.

3. Using the USB Hub function is not possible if only an HDMI or HDMI-DVI cable is

connected (without a USB cable connected).

4. Playing games usually requires a high resolution and fast response rate. It is recommended to play games in HDMI mode connecting directly to a graphics card rather than using

Wireless Connection or USB mode. Playing games or videos is not supported while in Wireless Connection or USB mode on Windows XP or Vista.

5. When the Wireless Connection or USB mode is used for the rst time or the power-saving mode is deactivated on the PC, it may take a while for the Wireless Connection or USB

mode to be detected.

6. To use the USB Hub function when the Smart Station monitor is in USB mode (where a USB 3.0 cable is connected to your PC) or in Wireless Connection mode, it is recommended to connect the USB cable to the black USB 2.0 port on the monitor.

7. If the PC enters power-saving mode while the Smart Station monitor is in Wireless

Connection mode, the Wireless Connection will be disconnected and the USB Hub function

will be disabled.

NOTE

Wireless Connection is supported on Series 7 only.
