Zusammenfassung:An information handling system includes displays, each of which has a first upstream-facing port (UFP), a second UFP, a downstream-facing port (DFP), and a multiplexer for selecting among the first UFP and the second UFP. The DFP of each display is connected to the first UFP of its respective succeeding display so as to form a ring network topology. A host computer is connected to the second UFP of a first display, and the multiplexer of the first display configured to select the second UFP.
