INTRODUCTION
1
Thank you for purchasing the ex•tend•it USB•500 Series.
Incorporating ExtremeUSB, the new USB•500 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•500 system consists of two units: the
USB•500S Sender resides next to the host computer, and
the USB•500R Receiver resides next to the extended USB
type device connected by conventional USB cables.
The USB•500 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.
You can connect additional USB•500 Series to the same
computer, allowing you to access the computer from other
locations up to 1650 feet apart.

CHECK LIST
7
1. On the USB•500S send unit, check that the power indica-
tor is GREEN.
2. On the USB•500S send unit, check that the link indicator
is GREEN.
3. On the USB•500R receiver unit, check that the power indi-
cator is GREEN.
4. Once all LEDs are illuminated as required, the USB•500
is ready to accept a peripheral device at the USB port on the
USB•500R receiver unit. Follow the installation instructions
as if one were installing the device directly into a computer's
USB port.
5. On the host computer, check that a general purpose hub
is visible from the Control Panel/System applet. Once con-
nected, 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.
6. The USB•500 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•500
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•500 model.
