How to use

Connect the dock to a laptop USB-C port that supports data transfer and, if required, USB Power Delivery. Attach an HDMI cable to the HDMI output for a digital monitor or a VGA cable to the VGA output for an analog display; both outputs can be used according to the host system's display capabilities. Plug wired peripherals into the Type-A USB ports and connect the network cable to the RJ-45 port for wired internet access. Configure display settings and network adapters on the host operating system as needed to enable extended or mirrored displays and to select the wired network connection.

Recommendations

Use a USB-C port on the laptop that supports data and power delivery for full functionality. For the highest video resolution, connect via the HDMI output and ensure the host device and display support the target resolution. When using multiple high-bandwidth peripherals, connect the dock to a host USB-C port that offers sufficient bus power and bandwidth.
