2. Installation
Note: This product features built-in drivers that install
automatically upon connection to a computer with an active
network connection. If they do not install, or do not fully
install, you can obtain the driver file from the included CD or
tripplite.com/support.
1. Connect the built-in USB cable on the display
adapter to an available USB 2.0 port on your
computer.
2. Connect the display adapter to a monitor using a
VGA cable, such as Tripp Lite’s P502-Series High
Resolution VGA Cables.
3. Once connected, the computer will recognize the
display adapter and complete the installation. The
video signal should now display on the add-on
monitor.
Note: It may take a few moments for the screen to appear on
the add-on monitor. Also, it is normal for the screen to flicker
on and off a few times when first connected. If the add-on
monitor remains blank, you may need to restart your computer.
3. Using the Adapter
3.1 Display Properties
Once installed, the computer video can be Extended
from the primary display to the add-on display, Mirrored
to display the same thing on both, or changed to use
the add-on display as the primary display. This can be
done by opening the Display Settings page on your
computer (see next page) and changing the settings.

3. Using the Adapter
Windows
To access the display settings on a Windows
computer, right-click on your computer’s desktop and
select the Properties or Personalize option (depending
on your Windows operating system). From there you
will need to access the Settings or Display option to
get to the Display Settings page. A quick way to access
this page is to use the display adapter icon in the lower-
right corner of your computer screen. Right-click on this
icon and select the Advanced option to automatically
pull up your computer’s Display Settings page.

3. Using the Adapter
Below are additional settings available to Windows
users via the display adapter right-click menu:
• Check for Updates – Connects to Windows
Update, checks for newer versions of the Display
Link software and downloads them (if available).
• Optimize for Video – When playing video content
on an add-on monitor, this setting can help to
improve playback performance.
Note: Text may appear less clear when this is enabled.
• Fit to TV – When using your display adapter to
connect a TV to your computer, the Windows
desktop may not always completely appear on
the screen. This setting can be used to adjust the
picture to display properly.
In addition to the display adapter right-click menu,
Windows Vista and Windows 7 users can press the
[Windows Key] and the [P] key at the same time to
pull up the menu below, which quickly allows you to
switch the display settings.

3. Using the Adapter
Notes:
• The display adapter icon only appears in the lower-right
corner of Windows computers and offers a quick way to
adjust the display(s) settings. The settings available in this
right-click menu may vary, depending on your Windows
operating system.
• Only Mirror mode is supported under Windows Vista Display
Driver Model (WDDM) mode. In addition, the Aero Experience
(Flip 3D effect) will be disabled under Windows Vista Display
Driver Model (WDDM) mode as long as the display adapter is
connected.
Mac
To access the display settings on a Mac computer,
open your computer’s System Preferences menu and
select the Displays option. A quick way to adjust these
settings is by clicking on the monitor icon in the upper-
right corner of the screen. When the Show displays in
menu bar setting is checked in the Display Settings
menu, clicking the monitor icon will display a menu
that includes the available monitors and settings.

3.2 Extending Video to the Add-On Display
To extend the video of the primary monitor to the add-
on monitor, follow the steps below:
Windows
1. Open your computer’s Display Settings page.
2. Select the monitor icon that represents the add-on
display you wish to change or choose the add-on
display from the drop-down menu. The primary
display is always icon 1.
3. Once you’ve selected the monitor icon for the add-
on display, check the checkbox to extend video onto
the monitor or select the extension option from the
drop-down list.

4. Drag the monitor icons in the Display Settings page
so they are positioned to replicate the location of
the actual displays. For example, if display 1 is
directly to the left of display 2, the monitor icons
should be positioned that way. This affects which
side of the screen the mouse is allowed to move
to the next display from, and is therefore essential
to ensure smooth mouse movement between
displays.
5. Click the Apply button to activate the changes.
The computer video will now be extended from the
primary display to the add-on display.
Note: When playing a DVD, it is recommended that you
play the DVD on a monitor connected to the computer via
standard cabling, and not an add-on monitor connected
via display adapter. If you need to play a DVD on an add-on
monitor, you must have a 2.0 GHz Core Duo CPU with 1GB
memory, and the screen resolution must be set to 800 x 600
with 16-bit color. If multiple display adapters are connected to
a computer, only one of them can play DVD content.
Mac
1. Open your computer’s Display Settings page. By
default, all monitors added to your computer will
be extended to the right of the primary display.
2. If the displays are set to be mirrored, the Mirror
Displays checkbox will be checked. To uncheck this
checkbox and extend the video among all displays,
check the Arrangement option in the Display
Settings page.
