Cheetah USB Hub

Introduction

Accton’s USB204B offers a convenient and cost-effective

means of bringing Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectivity to

the desktop. Accton’s Universal Serial Bus products feature

true plug-and-play connection of PC peripherals "outside the

box" and mark a significant advance in desktop cable

management. These state-of-the-art, practical products

provide ease-of-use benefits to PC users in the home, office,

or on the road.

The USB204B provides 4 downstream ports, for connection to

USB-equipped peripherals (including other hubs), and 1

upstream port for connection to your PC's USB port, or to

another USB204B. It supports both full speed (12 Mbps) and

low speed (1.5 Mbps) devices such as a mouse, keyboard or

joystick. The USB204B can be either self-powerd or bus-

powered. In bus-powered mode, this hub derives its operating

power from the USB connection directly. The Cheetah USB

Hub also provides overcurrent detection and protection for

each port. Five USB hubs can be daisy-chained together in

series, supporting any combination of derives up to a

maximum of 127 (including the hubs).

The components of the USB204B are shown in the figure

below:

Quick Installation Guide

Check the Package

The USB204B includes:

•1 USB204B •2-meter shielded USB cable

•1 power adapter • 1 user guide

•1 registration card (please return)

System Requirements

The USB204B requires the following basic host PC features to

operate:

•A host PC that supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB)

•A PC operating system with a generic USB hub driver,

including Microsoft Windows 95 (OSR2.1 or later), 98, 2000

Hub Operation

The USB204B is a device used to extend the host PC USB

interface. The hub supplies 4 additional USB ports to attach to

devices or other hubs.

Accton’s USB204B can be bus-powered, conveniently

drawing power from the Universal Serial Bus. Therefore, the

host PC has the ability turn on or off any hub, individual port,

or a device attached to a port. The USB204B also supports the

energy-saving suspend, resume and remote wake-on-ring

functions. What’s more, the hub and each downstream port

are overcurrent and short-circuit protected.

Please note the following general points about USB hub

operation:

•Hubs and devices are hot pluggable and can be connected/

disconnected at any time, even while the host PC is

powered on.

•Hubs can be daisy-chained up to 5 deep in series, or in any

combination that does not exceed 127 devices.

•Hubs are dual-powered devices. They can be powered via

the upstream connection (bus powered), or by an optional

power supply (self powered).

•When bus-powered, downstream ports support only “low-

power” devices, such as a mouse, keyboard or a self-

powered hub.

•When self-powered, downstream ports can support “high-

power” devices, such as a printer or a bus-powered hub.

Note: A USB204B must be self-powered by an optional power adapter

to daisy-chain to another hub that is only bus-powered.

Cheetah USB Hub

Connect the Hub to the Host PC

The USB204B should be

connected directly a host PC’s

USB port. The hub only has to be

plugged into the host USB

connector to operate. Up to 4

other hubs can then be daisy-

chained in series from the first

hub.

1. Prepare standard shielded 90Ω

USB cable with Type-A

(upstream) and Type-B

(downstream) plugs on each

end. The maximum cable

length is 5 meters (16.4 feet).

2. Connect the Type-A end of the cable to the host PC’s USB

port and the Type-B end to the hub.

3. Check that the hub’s downstream port power LED is green.

If this LED is off, then follow the advice in the

“Troubleshooting” section to diagnose the problem.

Connect Devices to the Hub

Before connecting devices to

the hub, check the

USB interface

requirements.

Devices can be

“low-power” or

“high-power,”

with “low-speed” or “full-speed” signaling. The USB204B is a

high-power, full-speed device. Refer to instructions supplied

with each USB device for their individual operation.

1. Prepare standard 90ΩUSB cable with Type-A (upstream)

and Type-B (downstream) plugs on each end.

Low-Speed Devices: Shielded or unshielded 90ΩUSB cable

Full-Speed Devices: Shielded 90ΩUSB cable

Cable Length: Maximum 3 m (9.8 ft) for unshielded cable

Maximum 5 m (16.4 ft) for shielded cable

2. Connect the Type-A end of the cable to one of the hub’s

downstream ports and the Type-B end to the USB device.

3. Check that the hub’s downstream port power (green) LED

is on. If this LED is off, then follow the advice in the

“Troubleshooting” section to diagnose the problem.

Quick Installation Guide

Troubleshooting

The USB204B can be easily monitored through its indicators.

You should be able to quickly resolve any problem by following

the troubleshooting steps listed below. If you cannot solve the

problem, contact your Accton distributor for further assistance.

General Problems

Many problems and error conditions can be cleared by first

following these steps:

1. Ensure all upstream cables are properly connected and that

all upstream hubs and the host PC are powered on.

2. Be sure the host PC and hub are not in suspend mode by

pressing any key on the keyboard or moving the mouse.

3. Disconnect devices from the hub and reset the hub. To

reset the hub, simply unplug the upstream connection and

then plug it back in.

Overcurrent LED is Red

This indicates an overcurrent condition exists.

1. Disconnect devices on downstream ports 1 through 4 one

at a time until the LED turns off. The last device

disconnected is causing the overcurrent condition.

2. If the LED is still red with all devices removed, reset the hub

by unplugging the upstream connection and plugging it back

in. If the LED remains red, the unit is defective and should

be replaced.

A Single Downstream Port Power LED is Off

The port has been disabled by the host PC. An overcurrent

condition may exist on the port, or the device driver identified a

problem with the device and turned the port off.

1. Disconnect the device. If the port LED does not turn on,

reset the hub. If the LED then turns on, you can reattach

the device.

2. If the LED does not turn on after the hub reset, you may

have to reboot the host PC.
