ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D Appendix A About AEC-4420P/PB 1 Overview ACARD AEC-4420P and 4420PB are converters that turn internal IDE interfaces into external USB ones. They are chiefly used together with ACARD Copy Controller series. AEC-4420P can easily connect a CD\DVD writer or a hard drive that is connected to a standalone copy controller to PC through the USB interface, but AEC-4420PB can only connect a CD\DVD writer to PC. Then, you can control the CD\DVD writer or the hard drive through PC.

ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D 5 Function As indicated above, AEC-4420P/4420PB is connected to an ACARD copy controller via link mode control. Generally, when the copy controller is standalone, QSwitch is connected to IDE connector. But when the copy controller is to be link host, Q-Switch will be switched to USB Bridge through link mode control, and thus 4420P/4420PB will be connected to PC.
ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D 6 Connect 4420P to Writer The picture below shows the connection of AEC-4420P with a writer. The connected writer can be used as an external writer when the copy controller is in link host mode. See page 16 to 18 for the connection of the 2-pin signal line.
ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D After connection and linking to the computer, you can press ESC on the copy controller’s panel for 2 seconds, enter Function 12. Adv Setup, and select Switch USB Mode. Press ENT to see “USB L.H Mode” display on the LCD. You can also click “My Computer” to check if there is a new DVD writer appearing. Now you may use some recording software like ACARD Ha!

ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D 10 Image Manager Install the software Image Manager that is in the support CD. Image Manager helps you manage those image files transmitted from PC to the hard drive connected with AEC-4420P. In Windows Vista when using Image Manager, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, you have to turn off UAC at first. The steps are described as follows: a. Click “Control Panel”. b. Click “User Accounts”. c. Click “Turn User Account Control On or Off”. d.
ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D Now use Image Manager according to the following steps. (1) Click the icon of the last host card to see the newly connected hard drive. The last host card has no title, but it represents AEC-4420P. Figure 1 (2) On Figure 1 move the cursor to the hard drive to see its capacity and so on. Now click [Image Manager] to enter Figure 2.
ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D (3) On Figure 2 choose a partition of the hard drive like B where you want to put the image file transmitted from the system’s hard drive. And also choose the form of the file such as .CPM, .ISO or .DVM. (4) Now suppose you want to choose an image file of 1.ISO and click [Open]. Figure 3 (5) After opening the file, you will enter Figure 4 and see the information. Figure 4 (6) Click [OK] to transmit the image file as Figure 5 shows.
ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D (7) After transmission, if it is successful, there will be a message showing so. Figure 6 (8) You can see the newly transmitted file appear in partition B as Figure 7 shows. Figure 7 (9) On Figure 7 click [Image Information] to see the file’s information as Figure 8 shows.
ARS-2030LD/2032D/2034D (10) On Figure 8 click [OK] to return to Figure 7. Then click [Edit title] to edit the title of the file.
