port, one HDMI port, one DVI port, and one Ethernet port. The docking station supports high
resolution video up to 2048 x 1152.

drives, mice, and any other USB device. Simply plug a USB 3.0 cable from
the Dual Display Docking Station into a USB 3.0 port on your computer,

Driver Installation
Caution: Do not connect the Xcellon Dual Display Docking Station to a computer before you
install the driver in the computer.
1. To install the driver insert the included Driver CD into your disc drive. Double-click on the
setup.exe file under x:\Driver\ (where x equals the letter of your disc drive).
A User Account Control dialog box will pop up when attempting to install the
program. Click Yes to start the installation.
2. Wait while Windows configures the DisplayLink Core Software. Your screen may
temporarily flash or go black during this process.
3. After the installation is complete, the installation screen will disappear, and the desktop
will appear.
You may need to reboot before being able to use the docking station. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
If an accessory isn’t recognized when connecting one to the docking station,
check the connecting cable to the docking station.
After you finish the installation, you can check whether the software has been properly
installed by opening the Windows Device Manager. Look under “USB Display Adapters”. You
should see “DisplayLink Display Adapter” listed.
If an exclamation mark or a question mark appears next to that name, the driver was not
properly installed. In that case, delete “DisplayLink Display Adapter” and select Delete the
driver software for this device if it’s provided. Unplug the docking station from your computer,
and repeat the installation.
