Central Station is only available when the product is connected to a PC via Wireless USB or a USB cable.
2.4.1 Using the Product as a USB HUB
Using the product as a hub, connect and use various source devices with the product at the same time.
A PC cannot connect to multiple source devices at the same time as it has a limited number of input/
output ports available. The HUB feature on the product will improve your work efficiency by allowing you 
to connect multiple source devices to the USB ports on the product at the same time without connecting 
them to a PC.
 zThe product is compatible with a USB 2.0 cable. However, your PC should support USB 3.0 for 
the HUB function to work fully.
zIf you experience a communication problem with a PC that provides the USB 3.0 function, 
download and install the latest driver version from the PC manufacturer.\
 
Using the Product as a USB HUB
If multiple source devices are co nnected to the PC, the many cables  around the PC may look messy. 
Connecting the devices directly to the product will resolve such inconvenience.
 zTo detect and start a source device faster, connect the device to the blue USB 3.0 port on the left 
side of the product.

2.5 Configuring the Central Station Monitor IP
1After installing the integrated driver for Central Station monitors , go to Control Panel   Network 
and Internet   Network and Sharing Center   Change adapter settings.
2You can see that the following two devices are displayed.
a. The user PC’s network device
b. The Central Station monitor’s network device (USB to Ethernet adapter) 
The two devices above refer to your PC’s LAN network device and your Central Station monitor’s 
network device.
 To use the Internet using the Central Station monito r’s LAN network, configure the network settings as 
follows according to the type of IP you will be using.
 
2.5.1 Dynamic IP
The dynamic IP address mode automatically configures the network settings on the PC using data sent 
by a server, which allots an IP address. This is possible, owing to the “DHCP (Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol)” service. The service consists of three steps: an IP address allotment request is 
sent to the DHCP server when the PC boots up, the DHCP server that received the request transmits

network information such as the IP address to the PC, and the transmitted network information is 
automatically registered to the network settings on the PC. The DHCP service is convenient and useful 
especially in an environment where multiple PCs are used. Theoretically, the IP address changes each 
time the PC boots up (or an IP allotment request is sent); in many cases, however, the existing IP address 
is re-allotted. An Internet router performs two roles: creating a private IP address (NAT service) and 
automatically allotting the IP address to each PC (DHCP service) at the same time.
 When using your Central Station monitor’s or not
ebook PC’s LAN network, ensure you insert a LAN 
cable into only one device. Otherwise, a system crash may occur.
 
Dynamic IP User
1To use a dynamic IP address, connect a LAN to your Central Station monitor. 
2Next, go to the network settings menu and activate the Central Station monitor’s network device 
(select “Use”).
 Go to Control Panel   Network and Internet   Network and Sharing Center   Change 
adapter settings. Next, right-click on the Centra l Station monitor’s network device (marked 
“LAN9512/LAN9514 USB 2.0 to Ethernet  10/100 Adapter #7”) and select Use.
 
3Using the network properties menu, check that the IP address mode for the Central Station 
monitor’s network device is set to Auto.
 Go to Control Panel   Network and Internet   Network and Sharing Center   Change 
adapter settings. Next, right-click on the Centra l Station monitor’s network device (marked 
“LAN9512/LAN9514 USB 2.0 to Ethernet 10/100 Adapter #7”).

Select Properties   Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)   Properties.
 
2.5.2 Static IP 
To configure the IP address (private or official) on your PC, someone (mostly a server system) must 
distribute and allot an IP address to the PC. An official IP address is allotted by your Internet service 
provider, and a private IP address is allotted by your Internet router. You can select whether to configure 
the IP address on the PC automatically or manually. The static IP address mode is used to manually enter 
an IP address. The static  IP address mode is suitable if the IP  address for the PC should not be changed 
(such as for a file sharing server) and generally is not used, except under such special circumstances.
 When using your Central Station monitor’s or not ebook PC’s LAN network, ensure you insert a LAN 
cable into only one device. Otherwise, a system crash may occur.
 
Static IP User
1Set the LAN network for the notebook PC to Disable.
2Go to Control Panel   Network and Internet   Network and Sharing Center   Change 
adapter settings. Next, right-click on the notebook PC’s network device and select Disable.
3Right-click on the Central Stat ion monitor’s network device (marked “LAN9512/LAN9514 USB 2.0 
to Ethernet 10/100 Adapter #7”), and select Use. 
 Be sure to perform this process before configuring the IP. 
4Configure the static IP.
Assign the static IP that is allotted to the Central Station monitor’s network device.
 Go to Control Panel   Network and Internet   Network and Sharing Center   Change 
adapter settings. Next, right-click on the Centra l Station monitor’s network device (marked

5After configuring the IP, click OK. The following message will appear.
 A static IP must be allotted to only one network device. The following mes sage will appear if the 
same static IP is allotted to the network device s of both the notebook PC and Central Station 
monitor. (Ensure the network device that  is not in use is set to Do not use.) 
 
Select No in the message window.
To use the notebook PC’s LAN network, set the Central Station monitor’s network to Do not use 
and the notebook PC’s network device to Use. Next, configure the IP settings.

2.6 Notice before your use of Wireless USB or USB Mode
1Most of the games require high resolution and fast response time. When you play a game, we 
recommend to use Analog or HDMI  Mode rather than Wireless USB  or USB Mode. Also, for playing 
Game and Movie clips on Windows XP or VISTA is not supported.
2When  Wireless USB /USB Mode is used for first time or PC power saving mode is disconnected, it 
may take some time to acknowledge for  Wireless USB/USB  Mode.
3Either it is  Wireless USB or  USB Mode(USB2.0 supported by PC), we recommend to connect to 
USB2.0 port for  USB HUB function.(black colored connector).
4When you use  Wireless USB mode and PC goes down to Standby mode, you cannot use USB Hub 
function since  Wireless USB is disconnected to PC.
