About this Manual
This manual contains information about the installation and operation of the Extron
USB HUB4 AAP and the USB HUB4 MAAP. The terms “hub” and “HUB4” are
used to refer to both models interchangeably when instructions apply to both.
About the USB HUB
The USB HUB4 AAP and USB HUB4 MAAP are compact, four-port USB hubs
designed to mount within a double-sized Extron AAP or MAAP frame. They
enable multiple USB devices to be connected to a single USB port on a host
computer and can be mounted in a variety of locations. The MAAP models are
available in a black or white finish; the AAP models are available in black, white,
and RAL9010 white.
Features
The USB HUB4 products feature the following:
USB 2.0 compatibility — The HUB4 is compatible with USB 2.0, enabling
communication with a variety of USB peripheral devices.
Mounting options — The HUB4 faceplate can be mounted on a wall, furniture, or
in Extron architectural products (such as Cable Cubbies or HSA Hideaway
Surface Access enclosures) that accept double-sized MAAP or AAP connector
panels.
Power — The USB HUB4 can be powered directly from a computer via the USB
connection, or with an optional Extron PS 1210 C external 1 A, 12 VDC power
supply.
Front panel LEDs —
• The Activity LED lights when any peripheral device has been enumerated
(has been recognized and has had communication established) by the
USB host and is currently communicating with it.
• The Power LED lights when the HUB4 is receiving power from either an
external power supply through the Power In captive screw port or from
the USB host connection.
Multiple USB device connections — The USB HUB4 can be connected to a host
computer either by a conventional Type A-to-Type mini B USB cable or a
captive screw connection (for areas where space is restricted).
Four USB Type A connectors on the front panel enable up to four peripheral
devices to be connected to a host PC via a single USB connector on the
computer.
