P ower Management an d Remote W akeup
The USB Bridge Cable Application supports USB power management; a feature
that is critical when working with Notebooks and other mobile computers. When
either computer goes into suspend mode, the program draws less than 500 µA of
current from it.
The program also supports remote wakeup. When the remote comuter is in
suspend mode, clicking on any file or folder in the Remote window wakes the
computer up.
N ote: If you do not wish to use this feature, open the Option menu; select Setting;
and disable the Allow System to Suspend option.

and directory structure displayed; the remote computer's file and directory
structure doesn't appear yet.

The left indicator is for the local computer; the right indicator is for the
remote computer. They are green when the connection is good; red when
a connection has not been established. Both lights must be green in order
to exchange files between the lcoal and remote computers.
7. PC to M ac Operation
Transferring files between PCs and Macs works the same as exchanging PC to PC
or Mac to Mac files.
File transfers work best on file formats that are supported on both systems -Adobe
Illustrator files, MS Word files, or text files, for example.
Occasionally, you may run into a problem with file formats that are only supported
on one system not being recognized on the other system, in which case the files
may not show up in the new location after you transfer them.
N ote : Unlike the Mac, Windows needs the file name extension to identify which program a file is
associated with in order to open the program by clicking on the filename.
