Installation

Prior to Installation – for Windows operating systems only: DisplayLink drivers are required for both video and audio functions when using Windows OS. The drivers can be
downloaded from www.displaylink.com/downloads. Once the drivers are successfully installed, restart the host computer.
Notes:

  • The U442-DOCK21-B is able to recognize USB peripherals, such as a mouse, keyboard or flash drive, without DisplayLink drivers installed on the host PC or laptop running Windows.
  • Mac operating systems do not require drivers. In the event a Mac OS driver is needed, the drivers can be downloaded from displaylink.com/downloads.
  1.  Connect the host computer or laptop to the U442DOCK21-B using the included USB-C to C cable. Use the USB-A to C adapter if necessary.
    Note: Your source device will only charge when using a USB-C to C cable.

  2. Connect a DisplayPort- or HDMI-compliant display to Video Port 1 with a user-supplied cable, such as Tripp Lite’s P580-Series DisplayPort cables or Tripp Lite’s P569-Series HDMI cables.
    Note: Only one display can be connected to each Video Port. If two displays are connected, DisplayPort will be displayed as the default.

  3. Repeat Step 2 for Video Port 2.
    Notes:
    Depending on the display used, TVs connected to the HDMI ports will only support maximum resolutions of 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz. 5K resolution is achieved by connecting the two DisplayPort output video ports to one display simultaneously. When the DisplayPort video ports are connected to their own displays, they will support resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz.

  4. Connect to a wired Gigabit LAN using Tripp Lite’s N201- Series Cat6 Cable (sold separately) if Wi-Fi signals are weak or unavailable.

  5. Connect headphones and a microphone to the available 3.5 mm ports.
    Note: If no sound is output, the audio output source must be changed to USB audio.

  6. Connect a USB-C device to the USB-C port.

  7. Connect up to five USB Type-A devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, flash drive or printer.

  8. (Optional) Lock and secure your U442-DOCK21-B docking station to your desk using the K-LOCK port located on the side of the unit.

  9. Connect the included power supply to the docking station, and power on the unit using the power button located to the left of the DC port.
