Multiple DisplayLink Adapters?

TechPS · 06-20-2013, 09:37 PM

Hello,

Can I use multiple display link adapters to drive different monitors? We currently have a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon which contains a mini-displayport. The laptop contains an adapter which converts miniDP to DVI. I believe it is powered by a DisplayLink chipset. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops...bon/#techspecs

The user has a need for two monitors; we acquired a SABRENT USB 3.0 (USB-3HDM) adapter. Initially the adapter would not detect correctly until I uninstalled ALL displaylink drivers and installed the displaylink software that came on the Sabrent installation disc.

This allowed the adapters to function individually; however if I connect both the other automatically disables and cannot be enabled. Is this how it is supposed to function? I was under the impression Displaylink would allow up to 6 devices.

Thank you
