U3014, uplink via DP possible?
Hi all,
I have an older U3014 that I have connected to two machines. I had hoped that using a display port for the second machine woudl utilise it as a USB uplink as well andmake that machine's USB connections work (since DP can carry usb data). However that does not work.
I assume it's a limitation and there is no way to make htis particular monitor auto-switch usb inputs when I switch the video source like newer modesl can?
Or is there a sertup step I am missing?
Chewers,
frank

Correct. The old ones did have this function. You need another upstream USB port.
At least its only one USB cable to swap over, if you use the monitor usb ports

@Andy K thanks for confirming. Will think of a different setup until I can switch to a newer monitor.
