Introduction

Welcome to Belkin USB 2.0!

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed USB

2.0 Premium 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. The Hub is

self-powered, which allows the cascading of devices with additional hubs, so

that up to 127 USB devices may be connected to a single port.

The Hub features multicolor LEDs that indicate the operating speed of each

connected USB device and the speed of the link to the host computer. For

additional information, refer to the “Technical Specifications” section.

The Premium hub offers several important advantages over traditional

USB 2.0 hubs. Most important is its implementation of the new “Quad TT”

architecture. Simply stated, when connected to a USB 2.0 host controller,

each of the Premium hub’s four downstream ports deliver a full 12Mbps

of USB bandwidth for low- and full-speed devices while still providing

total support for high-speed devices. This is especially important when

connecting multiple, bandwidth-intensive, full-speed devices such as USB

webcams, speakers, scanners, and external storage devices.

Overview

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 Premium hub delivers up to 48Mbps of

bandwidth, 12Mbps for each port!*

In addition to the “Quad TT” feature, the Premium hub also monitors the

speed of each connected device and provides users with a visual indication

of its connected speed. Refer to the “Determining the Speed of Connected

Devices” section of this User Manual for additional information.

*In cases in which the Premium hub is connected to a USB 1.1 host

controller, the maximum USB 1.1 bandwidth of 12 Mbps is shared across all

four ports.

Overview

Important Note: Please do not connect any USB devices to the Hub until

instructed to do so in step 4 of this installation procedure.

1. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or surge suppressor. Plug the DC

connector into the DC power jack found on the rear of the Hub.

Note: The Hub may be used without the power supply with most USB devices

2. Plug the flat end (USB-A connector) of the provided USB device cable into

the downstream port of your computer or downstream port of another

hub. Plug the square end (USB-B connector) into the USB-B connector on

the back of the Hub.

Important Note: The Hub must be connected to a USB 2.0-compliant host

in order to function in high-speed mode (480Mbps data rate). If the Hub is

connected to a USB 1.1-compliant host, it will operate

only in low-speed or full-speed mode (1.5Mbps/12Mbps).

3. Windows will now detect your Hub and install the required driver support.

(The Windows “Install New Hardware Wizard” may prompt you to provide

your Windows Installation CD to complete the driver installation process).

Important Note: High-speed hub drivers are included with most USB 2.0 PCI

upgrade cards, and are preinstalled along with the PCI card drivers. 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. The most recent Belkin driver is

available at www.belkin.com.

Installation

1. 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.

Connecting USB devices to the Hub

1. The USB 2.0 specification includes three separate modes of data

transmission. These are defined as low-speed (1.5Mbps), full-speed

(12Mbps), and high-speed (480Mbps). The Belkin Premium hub 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. Each downstream port on the Hub has a corresponding

LED that changes color according to the speed of the connected device as

noted below.

Connection Speed LED color

Low Green

Full Red

High Amber

2. In addition, the upstream port has a corresponding LED that indicates the

speed of the computer’s USB host controller as noted below.

Host Controller Speed LED color

Full Red

High Amber

Note: The Hub itself will always connect to the host as either a full- or high-

speed device, never as a low-speed device.
