Installation The installation of the USB Extender set is straightforward and can best be achieved in most cases by following these stages for each module: • Mount the module • Connect the cables Mounting a module – desk or rack Rack mount Note: The module switches are not accessible once it is inserted into the rack, therefore, check all settings before insertion.
Connections LOCAL Module connects to the PC SERIES User SERIES REMOTE PC LOCAL The naming of the LOCAL and REMOTE modules relate to their proximity to the computer system. REMOTE Module connects to the peripherals by the user Video 1 Locate the supplied video cable and attach one end to the connector marked on the LOCAL module.
USB Audio 1 Locate the supplied audio cable and attach one end to the required jack socket marked (speaker) or (microphone) on the LOCAL module (if you need to simultaneously use the speaker and microphone connections, a second audio link cable will be needed). 2 Insert the plug at the other end of the audio cable to appropriate socket on the PC system: • Microphone sockets are often coloured pink • Speaker sockets are often coloured light green.
Optional power supply A power supply is only required by the LOCAL module when no USB connection is made to the USB port of the PC. 1 Attach the output connector of the power supply to the LOCAL module socket marked ‘POWER’. 2 Insert the IEC connector of the supplied power lead into the corresponding socket of the power supply. Connect the other end of the power lead to a nearby mains socket. Audio link cable Required only when using microphone and/or speakers.
Connections at the REMOTE module The REMOTE module contains a USB hub that provides four separate USB 1.1 channels. 1 Attach the leads from up to four USB devices to the REMOTE module sockets marked . USB devices .
Links between the REMOTE and LOCAL modules are made via one (or two) twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher. Ensure that the total twisted pair cable length for each connection (including patch boxes) does not exceed 100 metres. • When extending only video and USB, only a single link cable is required. • When extending video, USB and audio signals, two link cables are required.
Power supply 2 Insert the IEC connector of the supplied power lead into the corresponding socket of the power supply. Connect the other end of the power lead to a nearby mains socket. A power supply is always required by the REMOTE module. 1 Attach the output connector of the power supply to the REMOTE module socket marked ‘POWER’.
Operation PO W ON Power surge fuses HO Both modules contain internal automatic cut-out fuses to protect against power surges. ST LIN K AU D TO REMOTE If a module stops responding • Check whether the module’s ON indicator is lit. If the ON indicator is lit, then the problem is unlikely to be power related, check all the connections.
