P74395ea_F5U231ea_uk 05-09-2003 14:51 Page 1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port TetraHub (the Hub). The Hub provides four downstream USB ports that offer backward-compatible, Plug-and-Play connectivity with all USB devices, including USB 1.1 (or low- and full-speed) devices, as well as with USB 2.0 (or high-speed) devices. This includes such peripherals as scanners, printers, mass-storage devices, and high-resolution cameras.
P74395ea_F5U231ea_uk 05-09-2003 14:51 Page 2 INTRODUCTION In contrast, a traditional four-port USB 2.0 hub provides only 12Mbps of bandwidth for use by low- and full-speed devices, and this bandwidth is shared by each of the four ports. The TetraHub delivers up to 48Mbps of bandwidth, 12Mbps for each port!* In addition to the “Quad TT” feature, the TetraHub also monitors the speed of each connected device and provides users with a visual indication of its connected speed.

If you purchased an upgrade card prior to the release of high-speed hub support, please check with your PCI card vendor for an updated USB 2.0 driver. The Belkin USB 2.0 driver supports all competitive cards based on the NEC host controller with the exception of Adaptec.

Plug the USB-A connector of the USB device(s) you wish to connect into any of the Hub’s available downstream ports. 2. Follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer of the device. Important Note: When moving a device from one port on the Hub to another, it may be necessary to reinstall the USB drivers for that device.

These are defined as low-speed (1.5Mbps), full-speed (12Mbps), and high-speed (480Mbps). The Belkin TetraHub is the only USB hub on the market today that provides a visual indication of a connected device’s speed. This is accomplished using proprietary speed indication circuitry.
