Connection Diagram Description
This section illustrates the typical connection setup for the docking station. A source device, such as a Notebook, Mobile, or Tablet PC, connects to the docking station via its USB-C port. The docking station then expands connectivity to multiple external displays through its HDMI 1, HDMI 2, DP, and VGA ports. Additionally, it provides access to other peripherals via its USB-A ports, network connectivity through the RJ45 Ethernet port, and data storage access via the SD and Micro SD card readers.
Graphics Settings for Windows 10

Warm Reminder ⚠️
- Please ensure the USB-C port on your Smartphone/Tablet/Laptop supports the DisplayPort (DP) Alternate Mode feature before purchase, as your PC will not output any video content otherwise.
- For 4Kx2K@60Hz video display, please confirm that your PC supports DisplayPort (DP) v1.4 (HBR3).
- For optimal compatibility with MacBooks, it is recommended to update your macOS to Catalina (10.15.1) or a later version.
