Figure 50. Configuring USB 2.0 Extenders through the Java Tool
To create a USB 2.0 extender definition through the Java Tool, proceed as follows:
1. Press the New Unit button. This opens a popup window.
2. From the Templates in the selection box, select USB 2.0 CON Unit or USB 2.0 CPU Unit and
click the OK button. An extender with an eight-digit ID will be created, starting with digit 9.
3. Enter an appropriate name for the extender in the Name field.
4. Enter the port number of the matrix where the USB 2.0 extender is physically connected into the
Port field.
5. Confirm the settings by pressing the Apply button.
6. The USB 2.0 CON extenders now have to be assigned to either an existing CON Device in the
Definition > CON Devices screen, or a new CON Device has to be created for the assignment by
pressing the New button.
7. The USB 2.0 CPU extenders now have to be either assigned to an existing CPU Device in the
Definition > CPU Devices screen or a new CPU Device has to be created for the assignment by
pressing the New button.
8. If parallel operation is used within the matrix, set the Release Time in the Configuration > Switch
screen to 10 s or more.
9. Restart all I/O boards on which USB 2.0 extenders have been configured, or restart the matrix.
The USB 2.0 extenders are now configured and can be used.
Notes:
Created extender units are always set as fixed port extenders. This configuration is necessary to
enable switching USB 2.0 connections through the matrix.
To make a fixed port available again for Flex-Port extender units after deleting a fixed port extender
unit, restart the I/O board.
