Instructions

  1. Connecting the Dock to the Laptop
    Connect the USB-C cable attached to the dock to your computer. The device is Plug and Play compatible and will be detected and configured by your computer automatically. This process will take a few seconds the first time you plug the device into your laptop. You may receive a notification that it has been installed and is ready for use.
    Once the device has been recognised and set up by your computer you can connect other devices as desired such as monitors. USB devices and a network cable.

  2. Connecting a Power Adapter (Optional)
    When the dock is connected to a computer that supports charging using USB-C Power Delivery (USB PD) it can pass up to 100W of power from an external power adapter (not included) to charge the computer. To charge the laptop through the dock, connect a USB-C PD power adapter to the USB-C port 0 on the end of the dock and connect the power adapter to a mains power outlet.

  3. Connecting Devices to the Dock
    Connect external devices such as monitors. USB devices, Ethernet network cable and headphone/mic to the dock, as necessary. Refer to Page 3 and 4 of these instructions for an outline of the available ports and their functions.

Resolution Support Table
The quantity and resolutions of video outputs supported depend on the capability of the connected computer.
This table provides the maximum output resolutions available for Windows computers based on the version of DisplayPort Alternate Mode supported on their USB-C ports.
When connected to Apple Mac computers display outputs will be mirrored. When used with a Mac this docking station is suitable for use with a single monitor but cannot be used for multiple monitor extended desktop configurations.

USB-C Port Video and Charging Support

Not all USB-C ports on laptops support video output and/or charging using USB PD. Many Windows and Chromebook computers have multiple USB-C ports, but only support video output and charging on one or two of them.
If using a Windows or Chromebook machine it is important to ensure that you plug the device into a port which supports video output for it to be able to show video on external monitors. If you usually use a particular USB-C port to connect your laptop’s USB charger, it is likely that this port also supports video output and we suggest trying the dock with this port.
Many USB-C ports that have no labelling support video output, however USB-C ports which have a DisplayPort logo or Intel Thunderbolt logo printed next to them almost certainly support video output and you should look for these icons next to the ports on your computer.

| DisplayPort Logo
---|---
| Intel Thunderbolt Logo

MacBook devices are equipped with Thunderbolt USB-C ports and support video output and charging on all ports.
If in doubt about whether a USB-C port supports video output. consult the user manual for your computer or the support information on the manufacturer’s website. References made to a USB-C port having DisplayPort. DP or Alt Mode capabilities is a strong indicator that the USB-C port supports video output.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Solution
Video doesn’t show on external display • Check that the cable is connected

securely between the monitor and the computer
• Check that the external monitor is turned on and set to the correct input
• Check that your computer is detecting the external display and is set to show video on it
• Check that the USB-C port on the computer that you have connected the cable to supports video output using DisplayPort Alternate Mode
• If the computer doesn’t detect the external monitor or output video after checking the above. restart your computer and attempt again
Video drops out intermittently| • Check that the video cable is connected securely between the display and computer and there is no strain on the connectors
Laptop doesn’t charge when a USG PD power adapter is connected to the USB-C port on the dock| • Check that the USB PD power adapter is plugged in at the wall and switched on
• Verify that the cable is plugged into a USB-C port on the computer which supports USB PD charging by plugging the cable from the power adapter directly into the USB-C port on the laptop
• Check that the cable between the USB PD power adapter and the dock is connected securely
• Ensure that the USB PD power adapter has a sufficient power output rating to charge the laptop

ALOGIC recommend the use of ALOGIC video cables to ensure reliable, trouble free operation for your computer and peripherals.
