USB Hub Requirements for Multiple Station Systems • 10
Front Panel
A type A USB port is located on the front of the docking station. This port can be used
to save calibration and bump test data to a USB flash drive. This USB port is for use
only in the Standalone configuration of the SDM-E2 and is not used in the PC
Controlled configuration.
NOTE: The SDM-E2 does not support connection of a computer to the front
USB port, only a USB flash drive.
USB Hub Requirements for Multiple
Station Systems
If you have more docking stations than you have available USB ports, you will need a
USB hub. RKI provides both a 4-port hub and a 7-port hub. If you have more than 7
docking stations, you will need to purchase one of each hub. Do not connect one hub
to the other. Make sure that each USB hub has its own USB port on your computer.
You may also purchase your own USB hub of any port number from your local
electronics store but it must meet the following requirements:
• USB 2.0
An AC adapter comes with the USB hub(s) sold by RKI but does not need to be
plugged in for SDM-E2 operation. If the hub will be used to charge other devices, the
AC adapter needs to be plugged in.
