How to Connect the USB 2.0 LR Extender

1. Connect the USB source to the USB 2.0 LR Extender sender unit using the

supplied USB A to B cable.

2. Connect up to two USB peripherals to the USB 2.0 LR Extender receiver

using user supplied USB cables.

NOTE: Powered USB hubs may be connected to these ports up to a maximum

connection of 14 USB peripherals (including hubs). Overall speed and power is

divided among the active devices.

3. Connect the USB 2.0 LR Extender sender and receiver units together with a

user supplied CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable.

NOTE: If field terminating CAT-5 cables, please adhere to the TIA/EIA-568-B

specification. Please see the NETWORK CABLE WIRING DIAGRAM on page 10

for more details.

4. Connect the included 5V DC locking power supplies to both the Sender

and Receiver unit. Do not overtighten the screw assembly of the locking

connectors.

5. Connect each power supply to an available electrical outlet.

Checking the Installation

On the sending and receiving units, check that the Power, Host and Link LEDs

are on and that the Activity LED is blinking. If the Link LED and Activity LED are

permanently off then the cabling between the sending and receiving units are not

installed properly or is defective.

For Windows users (2000, XP, or Vista) open Device Manager to confirm that the

USB 2.0 LR Extender has installed correctly. Expand the entry for Universal Serial

Bus controllers by clicking the + sign. If the USB 2.0 LR Extender has been installed

correctly you should find it listed as a Generic USB Hub.

For Mac OS X users open the System Profiler to confirm that the USB 2.0 LR

Extender has installed correctly. In the left hand column under Hardware, select

“USB” and inspect the right hand panel. If the USB 2.0 LR Extender has been

installed correctly you should find it listed as a Hub under the USB High-Speed Bus/

USB Bus.
