About the USB Rover 1300

The USB Rover 1300 incorporates Icron’s ExtremeUSB™ technology. This

technology breaks the five-meter distance barrier for the connection of USB

peripheral devices and allows users to enjoy the benefits of USB technology

beyond the desktop. With the USB Rover 1300, USB devices can be located

up to 100 meters from the host computer. In addition, the USB Rover 1300

can supply power to remote low-power and some high-power USB devices.

The product is composed of two individual units, the Local EXtender (LEX)

and the Remote EXtender (REX).

The LEX Unit

The LEX unit connects to the host computer using a conventional

USB cable.

The REX Unit

The REX unit connects to the USB device using a conventional USB

cable. The REX 130 unit allows you to connect one full speed USB

device.

Network Cabling

The LEX and REX units are interconnected by up to 100 meters of

Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. The UTP cabling

must have a straight-through conductor configuration, with no

crossovers, and must be terminated with 8-conductor RJ45 connectors

at both ends.

USB Cables

USB cables have two distinct connectors. The Type A connector is used to

connect the cable from a USB device to the Type A port on a computer or

hub. The Type B connector is used to attach the USB cable to a USB device.

Power Handling

Some USB devices are powered directly from the USB and do not require

individual power supplies. These devices are called bus-powered devices.

The USB Rover 1300 can provide power to these devices so they can be

operated remotely.

Bus-powered devices are further divided into low-power and high-power

categories. Low-power devices are allowed to draw up to 100 mA from the

USB. Typical examples include mice, joysticks, and keyboards without

hubs. High-power devices are allowed to draw up to 500 mA from the USB.

Typical examples include cameras and keyboards with hubs. To determine if

a device is high-power or low-power, consult the user documentation for the

device.

The USB Rover 1300 can supply sufficient power to support all low-power

devices and most high-power devices. Devices that place a very heavy power

drain on USB (>300 mA) are not supported. Most USB cameras operate well

within this power budget.

NOTE: Devices with their own power source are usually considered to be

low-power devices from a USB perspective and are thereby

compatible with the USB Rover 1300.

Compatibility

The USB Rover 1300 complies with USB 1.1 specifications governing the

design of full speed USB devices. However, Icron Technologies Corporation

does not guarantee that all full speed USB devices are compatible with the

USB Rover 1300.

User Guide

Before You Begin

Before you can install the USB Rover 1300, you need to prepare your site.

1. Determine where the host computer is to be located and set up the

computer.

2. Determine where you want to locate the USB device.

3. If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5

UTP cabling to connect the two locations.

If you are using premise cabling, ensure Category 5 UTP cabling is

installed between the two locations, with Category 5 information

outlets located near both the computer and the USB device.

Installing the LEX Unit

1. Place the LEX unit near the host computer.

2. Plug the Type B connector on the USB cable (included) into the Host

port on the LEX.

3. Plug the Type A connector on the USB cable into the USB port on

the computer.

Installing the REX Unit

1. Place the REX unit near the USB device.

Connecting the LEX Unit to the REX Unit

NOTE:To ensure proper operation, we recommend that only Category 5, or

better, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling be used to connect

the LEX unit to the REX unit. The UTP cabling must have a

straight-through conductor configuration with no crossovers, and

must be terminated with 8-conductor RJ45 connectors at both ends.

With Surface Cabling

1. Plug one end of the Category 5 UTP cabling (not included) into the

Link port on the LEX unit.

2. Plug the other end of the Category 5 UTP cabling into the Link port

on the REX unit.

USB Rover 1300

With Premise Cabling

1. Plug one end of a Category 5 patch cord (not included) into the

Link port on the LEX.

2. Plug the other end of the patch cord into the Category 5 information

outlet near the host computer.

3. Plug one end of the second Category 5 patch cord (not included)

into the Link port on the REX.

4. Plug the other end of the second patch cord into the Category 5

information outlet near the USB device.

NOTE: The maximum length of the Category 5 UTP cable, including patch

cords, must not exceed 100 meters.

Checking the Installation

1. Check that the Link LEDs on both LEX and REX are on.

Connecting a USB Device

1. Install any software required to operate the USB device. Refer to

the documentation for this device, as required.

2. Connect the USB device to the Device port on the REX.

3. Check that the Host LED on LEX is on.

4. Check that the Device LED on REX is on.
