If an external supply powers the transmitter:
1. Connect twisted pair cable between the transmitter and receiver link connectors.
2. Connect one included power supply to the USB Extender receiver and one to the
transmitter, then apply power to both. The Power LEDs on both light.
Additionally, with both units powered, the Link LEDs light to indicate connectivity on the
twisted pair link.
3. Connect a Type A-B USB cable (Type A male to mini Type B male for AAP and Decora Tx)
from the USB host to the USB Extender transmitter.
4. Apply power to the USB host. After the host has booted, the transmitter Host LED lights to
indicate communication between the host and transmitter. Shortly after, the Host LED on
