4. Przewodnik konfiguracji

Before connecting the docking station, ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports video output ("Display Port Alternate Mode"), data transfer, and Power Delivery (PD) for full functionality. Not all USB-C ports support all these features.

Image: This diagram illustrates the types of USB-C ports and their capabilities. It shows that for triple monitor support, the laptop's USB-C port must support Thunderbolt 3, Data + DisplayPort, or Data + PD + DisplayPort functions. Ports that only support data transfer or power delivery will not enable video output.

1. Podłącz zasilanie (opcjonalne, ale zalecane): If your laptop requires charging or you are connecting multiple power-intensive devices, connect your laptop's original USB-C power adapter to the docking station's PD 3.0 port. This ensures stable operation and charges your laptop.
2. Połącz z urządzeniem hosta: Plug the integrated USB-C cable of the docking station into your laptop's compatible USB-C port.
3. Podłącz wyświetlacze:
   • For single display: Connect an HDMI cable to either HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 port, or a VGA cable to the VGA port, then connect to your monitor.
   • For dual displays: Connect two HDMI cables to HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 ports, then to your monitors.
   • For triple displays (Windows only): Connect two HDMI cables to HDMI 1 and HDMI 2, and one VGA cable to the VGA port, then to your monitors.
4. Podłącz urządzenia peryferyjne: Plug in your USB devices (mouse, keyboard, USB drives) into the USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports. Insert SD or TF cards into their respective slots. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port for wired network access.
5. Podłącz dźwięk: If using external headphones or speakers, plug them into the 3.5mm Audio/Mic port.

Note: Please provide power to the USB-C Docking Station first when connecting monitors or multiple high-power devices to ensure stable performance.

5. Instrukcja obsługi

5.1 Tryby wyświetlania

Stacja dokująca obsługuje różne konfiguracje wyświetlania, w zależności od systemu operacyjnego.

Image: This diagram illustrates the different display modes. For Windows, it shows Extend Mode (Quad Displays: A-BCD) and Mirror Mode (A-AAA). For macOS, it shows Mirror Mode (A-AAA or A-BBB) due to MST limitations, where all external monitors display the same content.

• W przypadku systemu Windows 10 / 11:
  • Extend Mode (A-BCD): Supports displaying different content on up to four screens simultaneously (laptop screen + 3 external monitors).
  • Mirror Mode (A-AAA): Wszystkie podłączone wyświetlacze pokazują tę samą treść.
• Dla systemu macOS:
  • Due to macOS limitations (does not support MST - Multi-Stream Transport), the docking station only supports extending one monitor, and all external monitors will display the same screen content (A-AAA or A-BBB).
  • You can achieve a mirrored display where all external monitors show the same content as your laptop, or an extended display where one external monitor extends your desktop and other external monitors mirror that extended display.

5.2 Ustawienia audio

When using the 3.5mm Audio/Mic port:

• When HDMI is connected: The audio port can be directly plugged in and used.
• When using the headphone jack alone:
  • Dla systemu macOS: Go to Apple icon > System Preferences > Sound > Output > Select "USB Audio Device".
  • Dla systemu Windows: Click the sound icon on the bottom right of the desktop > Choose "USB Audio Device" as the sound output.

5.3 Przesyłanie danych i ładowanie

• 3.0 USB Porty: Use for high-speed data transfer with external hard drives, USB flash drives, etc. These ports also support BC1.2 fast charging for USB devices.
• Port USB 2.0: Ideal for connecting wireless mouse/keyboard receivers to avoid interference with USB 3.0 devices. Also supports USB 2.0 data transfer.
• Gniazda kart SD/TF: Insert memory cards for quick data access.
• PD 3.0 Charging Port: Connect your laptop's power adapter here to charge your laptop while using the docking station. This port is for power delivery only, not data transfer.
