If you use multiple dynadocks with a single computer – for example, one at work and one at home – the video settings for each dynadock are saved when you disconnect the computer. This enables you to have your dynadock at work set up for the Extended Mode while your dynadock at home is configured for Mirror Mode, and those settings will be retained each time you use the dynadock with your computer.

How Standby/Sleep or Hibernate Mode Affects Devices Attached to the dynadock™

External Monitors

The external monitor connected to the dynadock will go blank if the computer goes into Standby/Sleep or Hibernate Mode.

When in Mirror Mode, the external monitor keeps the same settings it had before the computer went into Standby/Sleep or Hibernate Mode once the computer returns to an active state

When in Extended Mode, windows that were previously on the external monitor will not move back to that secondary monitor once the computer returns to an active state

Also, if the external monitor is in Extended Mode and the computer requires a login after Standby or Hibernate Mode, the login screen appears on the primary computer monitor, not the external monitor.

Other Devices

If another device is connected to a port on the dynadock and the computer goes into Standby/Sleep or Hibernate Mode, that device will not function. For example, if you are using the Ethernet port for high-speed network access, network access will not be available until the computer returns to an active state.
