DOWNLOADFAQ
What is DisplayLink?
With DisplayLink, you can quickly and easily connect several monitors to your PC via a simple USB connection. The DisplayLink driver software for DockingStation communication is installed on your computer.
What is Alternate Mode?
A part of USB Type-C™ is Alternate Mode (Alt Mode). It ensures that several functions can be covered via a USB Type-C™ interface, and thus via a single cable. E.g. DisplayPort™ and HDMI®. For example, a DockingStation can be supplied with signals for audio, video as well as data at the same time. It is very important that both devices (the DockingStation and the notebook or PC) support Alternate Mode (Alt Mode)!
What is Power Delivery?
USB can be used to power simple devices such as a mouse and a keyboard. Depending on the USB standard, the power ranges from 2.5 (USB 2.0), 4.5 (USB 3.0) to 7.5 (passive) watts or 15 watts (active) with USB Type-C™ connectors. However, this is usually not enough to supply large USB devices with sufficient power. In order to solve the problems that occur while charging, USB Power Delivery (USB PD) has published a specification for power supply over USB. Devices can be supplied with up to 100 watts of power via the USB Type-C™ interface. For example, to charge your notebook.
Compatibility with host computers?
• The ICY BOX IB-DK2243AC DockingStation requires a USB Type-C™ port with DisplayPort™ alternate mode support as well as the installation of the DisplayLink driver software to be able to use the full range of functions. Refer to the notebook manual for information on the USB Type-C™ port. This USB Type-C™ feature is described as Alternate Mode, Alt Mode, DP Support, DisplayPort Support or Display Support. The current DisplayLink driver can be downloaded from the following link: https://www.displaylink.com/downloads Make sure that it is always up to date.
• The DockingStation can also be used without USB-Type-C™ with alternative mode support. However, this excludes the use of the third HDMI® port, which is only available with alternate mode.
