U2415 - two connections for Display Port

This is my first contact with Dell support and the first time I use the interface of the RFP.

My question will appear in some basic way a lot of people, but I'm confused by the fact that my new monitor is equipped with a cable, which I assume is the only one, I really need to connect. However, the documentation does not confirm it.

On the contraryt, there are two connectors on the monitor that are commented out using the interface to display, but with a different connector port. It's confusing and the documentation is only adding more confusion.

Do I need a cable only? I got a cable with on one side a marked connector of the symbol "monitor - like".

If so, I don't understand the purpose of providing two types of connectors and the need for an explanation (bad), not yet available in Dutch!

Port numbers are 4-5 on page 10

Thank you

If your computer graphics card has the size DP (DisplayPort) out, to connect like this =
RFP computer on--> Dell DP to the CDM cable--> U2415 CDM in

If your computer graphics card has the mini size CDM (Mini DisplayPort) out, to connect like this =
Computer AMD at--> Dell mDP to DP--> DP U2415 cable in

Why we offer both? If the end user can daisy chain multiple monitors. As explained on page 27. Or connect two computers to the same screen using these different ports.

For Belgium, the language is french.

  • U2413, calibration solution Ultrasharp fails to connect to display via the USB port

    Dell U2413 SN: CN-0YCM0F-72872-48P-A81L REV A01 August 2014

    Try to run the ultrasharp Dell V1.5.3 on this monitor calibration solution, however, the software stops and displays "please connect the screen to your computer via a USB cable." I click the OK button after you have checked that the USB port on the computer is connected to the USB connection screen, but ultimately, this message appears:
    "Could not establish a connection to the screen. Please make sure that the USB cable is connected and try again. »

    Has tried this on two different computers, running Windows Pro 8.1. One was connected to the monitor cable HDMI to DVI (Thinkpad 10 via docking station), the other using the provided Dell Display Port printer for (Tablet Thinkpad X 230) mini display port cable.

    The USB ports on computers were connected the Dell supplied USB 3 cable to the monitor. Also tried this on a single computer by using a USB 2 port and a USB cable with the same result. The USB connections on the monitor seems to work ok when you plug a flash drive or the i1 Display Pro. Also, did a reset Monitor USB and verified that Windows has seen additional generic hubs when the USB Monitor is connected to the computer. There are 4 additional hubs when you use additional 2 usb hubs and USB 3 cable when using the USB 2 cable. In addition, power cycled the monitor several times (as recommended in the version that is known for this problem) without success.

    Before the attempt to make the calibration:
    A factory reset on the monitor.
    Ran the monitor self test and SUBMISSION. No problem found.
    Monitor purchased from Dell November 2014

    Same result with V1.5.7

    Any suggestions? Where should I go from here?

    I had success in the U2413 of profiling. I pulled out an old workhorse, a Thinkpad T43
    under Windows XP. Then installed the ultrasharp Dell V1.5.3 calibration solution and all
    updates available from Microsoft, but no other software - nothing of the Dell-supplied with
    the monitor. Used the DVI - connection DVI and USB 3 cable supplied with the monitor. The
    software Profiler has worked well with this configuration. When the program first took to the "Start
    Screen measure"(where the problem occurs already noted) Windows (message status bar)
    has reported that he accessed software Realtek 3.0. So I focused on research at the Realtek
    software on other systems.

    On the Thinkpad 10. There were two 1. "Realtek Card Reader" and 2. «Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader» I have
    removed both and reinstalled the software Realtek for Dell monitor CD. Insert an SD card and
    a USB in the monitor and both were seen by Windows Explorer. There was also a Realtek USB
    3.0 card reader to showing in Manager devices under USB controllers. Using the connections between the T10 to monitor previously described the Profiler software, then ran normally.

    X 230 - I removed the "Realtek Card Reader" (V6.2.9600.30168) software and tried to start the
    Software Profiler and it does not at the same point as before. Then I installed the Realtek USB 2.0
    Software for the Dell card reader. However, there was still no Realtek USB 3.0 card reader
    display in the Manager of devices under USB controllers. Software Profiler is not like before. I then
    inserted an SD card in the monitor and the "Realtek USB Card Reader 3.0" appeared in the device
    Manager. Software Profiler, then ran normally.

    So now my two systems Windows 8.1 software profiling will not work if the 'Realtek USB 3.0 Card '.
    Reader"is not listed in Device Manager. To do this the software must be installed (for example
    starting from the Dell CD) AND an SD card must be inserted into the SD slot on the monitor. Remove the SD card
    Card and the device disappears and profiling software will not run. Insert an SD card and the
    Software Profiler works normally.

    How can I get the "Realtek USB 3.0 card reader ' to automatically load before running the Profiler software?

  • U2415 Display Port DVI adapter - no Signal

    Hi - I have a new U2415 that I'm not getting a signal on when I plug it into my office with a Display Port to DVI.  This is an active adapter that I bought on Amazon.  I have the adapter plugged into the port Display Port, then the cable DVI to my PC.  When I try to "detect" to the monitor displays under Windows 7 64 bit I don't see it in there.  I have 3 other monitors connected to my PC using a videocard ATI Port Quad (ALL DVI) and I know that all ports operate as I went around.

    When I plug the monitor in my book of Mack using the Display port cable accompanying the monitor works fine.  I also know the works of DVI cable very well as I tried it on another monitor.

    I also tried a CDM/DVI with another card and it does not work.

    I also downloaded the software Dell Display Manager but it gives an error saying: he needs a Dell monitor supported.

    Any ideas on why the Display port/DVI does not work?  Can someone suggest any other ideas.  I like to keep my current quad DVI video card port as they are costly to change.

    Thank you very much

    A PC DVI video card out can no longer convert to a DP monitor using this adapter. This adapter is designed to do the opposite.
    "Portable active adapter connects a DisplayPort equipped computer laptop or desktop to a monitor or projector with DVI input.

    You need this configuration =

  • P2415Q - no display on DVI, HDMI. No menu. Worked perfectly for a month on the display port

    Line of reason: Dell P2415Q. After a month, works perfectly on the display port, no display on screen Display Port or HDMI, no response to the menu buttons, backlight and power ON but no picture on the screen.

    Description of the problem

    The monitor worked out of the box for a month using the mini display port display port cable supplied with the monitor, which was plugged into my XFX 7970 and 7950 graphics cards. It supports 4K at 60 Hz and has been exceptional for photos, videos and games. Wednesday, the monitor no longer works, no picture or menu is displayed on the monitor. I plugged my old monitor to help diagnose via DVI graphics card even. When I press the power button on the Dell P2415Q monitor, the power LED lights up and the computer detects the monitor (as shown in the menu of the windows screen resolution). He defines as a secondary display but the screen remains black, I see the light power and backlight is turned on. No power save mode popup doesn't appear on the monitor, when I press the buttons of the menu there is no response from the screen, it stays black. I repeated with an HDMI cable, the same problem occurs without intervention or image. I repeated and disabled crossfire (which allows graphics cards to run independently) and tried the second graphics card without response. I tried the HDMI cable I used on my old LG monitor, it works well. I tried to connect a laptop on HDMI to the monitor too, no response from the monitor. I've exhausted all the tests I can think, I guess I'll have to return to the screen for repair or replacement under warranty. A question to the community - and dell rep is there anything else I can try / to make this work?

    Hello

    What happens when you connect to the router via a wired connection?

    Method 1: Reset the Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol:

    One of the components of the Internet connection on your computer is a package of instructions called TCP/IP. TCP/IP can sometimes become damaged or altered. If you are unable to connect to the Internet, TCP/IP can be causing it.

    TCP/IP is a main component of Windows, you cannot delete it. However, you can reset TCP/IP to its original state by using the NetShell (netsh) utility. Reference:

    Method 2: Reset the default Hosts file

    The "hosts" file is an important Windows system file which maps hostnames to IP addresses. Its a simple text file that is stored in the folder "%windir%\System32\drivers\etc\" in Windows NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008 and Windows 7 32-bit editions. In the 64-bit editions, it can be also stored in the folder "%windir%\SysWOW64\drivers\etc\".

    Structure of the hosts file is very simple. It contains lines of text containing the IP address, followed by the host name.

    Sometimes this hosts file is hijacked by viruses, adware, spyware or Trojan software and is changed to redirect your browser to various websites containing malicious code. It could also block security Web sites and the Windows Update Web site in your system so that you can not install virus definitions and security updates in your operating system.

    As a quick test to go Control Panel - firewall Windows and disabling the firewall to see if it works. If you have a 3rd party software AV Firewall control may be in this control panel software.

    As the two PC is connected back to back without access to a DHCP server, they should award an APIPA IP address that should work. To eliminate the problems addressing assign a static IP on both.

    Properties of the Control Panel - Network and sharing Center - change adapter settings - Rt click on Local Area connection-

    In TCP/IP V4 each assign a static IP 192.168.0.X where x is between 1 and 254 and the 2 PC's are different so for example10 and 20, 100 or 1. The value of 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, save the changes and test the connection.

    If disabling the firewall resolves you can add an exception to the firewall program to allow the age3.exe through the firewall. More information here, as you ar accommodation only play locally just look at the top.

  • Firefox displays the two shockwave for Director 12.0.7.148 & 12.0.5.146 plugins

    I am running firefox 26 and when I discovered my plugins (Tools > Modules > Plugins), I see the two Shockwave for Director, 12.0.7.148 and 12.0.5.146. When I click on the link "Check to see if your plugins are up to date", Shockwave for Director 12.0.7.148 is the only one that is listed and also shows to date.

    Is this all true, or I have to delete 12.0.5.146 and if so how?

    Thank you

    You can remove the older Shockwave for Director plugin or remove the two (uninstall via Control Panel).

    Shockwave for Director is a different plugin than the Shockwave Flash Player and hardly use these days.

  • Two screens DVI on Port Replicator II with Tecra S10-160

    Hello to all 2!

    Right now I'm working with two external 19 "TFT screens connected to the Port Replicator II (Tecra S10-160 inside with closed screen). A display is connected to the DVI port available, the other is connected on the available on the Port Replicator II VGA port.
    A single display (DVI) is used as the main office, the other (VGA) is used as office improved (both show different content).

    My problem is the poor quality of the VGA signal and the problem, my two new screens are only supported DVI.

    Is it possible to connect two DVI displays to the DVI - D Port Replicator II? I already checked several DVI-Y-cables, but I'm still looking for a solution connect two displays via DVI with the function to get two split screens and not the same content on both screens.

    Hope you got my point and have information or ideas for products for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Have you already tested a VGA to DVI? So, you can use the VGA connector on the port replicator and your monitor's DVI port.

    I mean such a cable like this

    Such an adapter you can always use the function to get two split screens and not the same content on both screens. :)
