4. Configuring DisplayLink Displays
This section describes how to use DisplayLink’s Software. The section is divided into sub-sections relating to your
operating system.
Note: The terminology for "mirror mode" can vary between operating systems and the DisplayLink GUI. The terms
“Clone”, “Mirror” and “Duplicate” are interchangeable and provide the same function of making the contents of the 2
selected displays identical.
4.1. Behaviour on first connect
When connecting a device based on the DL-3x00 family, the firmware version will be checked by the host software. If
they do not match, the firmware on the device will be updated. While the firmware is updating, a window similar to
that shown below will be shown.
This process may take up to 20 seconds. Once complete, your device should begin to function.
4.2. Device/Monitor Detection
The DisplayLink System tray GUI, covered below, will only be available when a DisplayLink device is detected on the
USB bus.
When using a DL-1x0 or DL-1x5 based product, a new monitor will also be added in Windows Display Properties, even
if there is no monitor connected to the device.
DL-3x00 devices now support monitor detect, therefore a new display will only be available once the device is
connected to the PC AND a monitor is attached to the video output of the device.
4.3. Resolution Support
When a monitor is connected to a DisplayLink device, the DisplayLink host software reads the supported modes from
the display. These are the only supported modes offered by the DisplayLink software, through the DisplayLink UI or
Windows Display Properties. The DisplayLink software will use the montior’s preferred mode by default.
If the monitor does not report any supported modes, DisplayLink will offer a list of default modes.
Note: not all supported monitor modes may be offered if they are not supported by your DisplayLink device.
