OPERATION NOTES

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ex•tend•it USB•400 Series. Incorporating

ExtremeUSB, the new USB•400 model allows users the beneﬁts of USB technology

beyond the desktop, extending your computer keyboard, mouse, trackball, and any USB

device up to 1650 feet away from the location of your Macintosh or PC computer.

The USB•400 system consists of two units: the USB•400S Sender resides next to

the host computer, and the USB•400R Receiver resides next to the extended USB type

device connected by conventional USB cables.

The USB•400 signal controls the keyboard, mouse, trackball and other USB devices

by buffering the keyboard/mouse signal through send and receive line drivers, and the

signal is extended by using standard ﬁber optic cabling.

The USB•400FO extends any USB device up to 1,650 feet from the location of your

computer, eliminating the 17.5 feet distance limitation of USB. The USB•400FO also

includes a remote 4 port USB HUB to operate up to four USB devices remotely using

“Extreme USB” technology.

USB 400 FO SERIES INSTALLATION

Place the USB•400S unit close to the host computer.

Connect the power adapter to the USB•400S unit using the supplied cable.

Connect the USB•400S unit to the USB•400R unit using the desired length of ﬁber

optic cable outﬁtted wit LC connectors with A, on the sender matching B on the

receiver, and B on the sender matching A on the receiver.

Connect the USB•400S unit to the host computer using the 6ft. USB cable supplied

with the unit .

On the USB•400S send unit, check that the power indicator is GREEN.

On the USB•400S send unit, check that the link indicator is GREEN.

On the USB•400R receiver unit, check that the power indicator is GREEN.

Once all LEDs are illuminated as required, the USB•400 is ready to accept a

peripheral device at the USB port on the USB•400R receiver unit. Follow the

installation instructions as if one were installing the device directly into a computer's

USB port.

On the host computer, check that a general purpose hub is visible from the Control

Panel/System applet. Once connected, a USB peripheral device causes its host

computer to automatically enumerate it. This simply means that the computer must

identify the new device, assign it an ID, and ensure that the required software drivers

are available for loading when the device is to be used.

The USB•400 is not an end device. Consequently, it does not have a software

component or driver to be loaded. Some peripheral devices that are to be attached

to the USB•400 will have a USB Driver diskette or CD-ROM which will need to be

inserted after initial connection to a USB port on the USB•400 model.

USB•400S (Sender Unit)

USB•400R (Receiver Unit)

Place the USB•400R unit close to the USB device to be served.

Connect the USB devices to the USB•400R unit.

Connect the power adapter to a suitable AC source wall outlet.

Connect the power adapter to the USB•400R unit using the supplied cable.
