Compatibility
Duplicator is USB 2.0 compliant. Works with USB 3.0 devices at 480Mb/s.
Works with the following devices:
- USB Flash media drive
- USB External hard disk
- Addonics Pocket Ultra DigiDrive (including PCMCIA storage devices or
flash
storage with the Addonics adapters)
- Addonics Pocket eSATA/USB DigiDrive
- Addonics Pocket Micro SATA UDD
- Addonics Diamond or Ruby ExDrive, with or without Cipher feature, using
the Addonics USB 3.0 to eSATAp Adapter
- Any of the above USB storage devices used with the Addonics CipherUSB
NOTE: Using an external power supply with storage devices that support
external power is strongly recommended.
Using the Duplicator with Adapters not supplied by Addonics is not
supported or recommended.
Duplicating source media encrypted using the Addonics Cipher family of
products can be done without using the Cipher hardware – which will result
in encrypted duplicates. This requires the Setup option Copy Area to be set
to “Whole Media.”
The Duplicator can copy media formatted as FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2 or
ext3 with the Setup option Copy Area set to “System and Files.” Copying
NTFS media this way requires target media that is larger in capacity than the
source.
Quick Start
1. Insert the source device into the source slot, and any target devices
desired.
2. Turn on the unit.
3. After a self-diagnostic, the unit will scan all ports and start on the Copy
function.
4. Press OK to begin.
5. The Duplicator can operate in Asynchronous mode if it is able to contain
all of the source data in internal memory – about 200MB. Otherwise it will
operate in Direct mode.

For Direct mode:
Once the Duplicator has analyzed the source device, it will scan for
suitable target devices. While examining connected targets, the port's green
LED will blink. If the device is suitable, the green LED will glow. If the device
is unsuitable, the red LED will glow. The Display will show how many targets
are ready.
Press OK once all of the targets are ready to begin copying. The
green LEDs will blink to indicate activity. Once copying is complete for a
target, the green LED will glow to indicate copy succeeded or the red LED
will glow to indicate the copy failed.
For Asynchronous mode (default):
Once the Duplicator has analyzed the source device, it will scan for
suitable target devices. While examining a target device, the green LED will
blink. If a target device is suitable, the green LED will continue to blink and
the copy process will begin immediately. When a target is finished, the green
LED will glow to indicate the copy succeeded, or the red LED will glow to
indicate the copy failed.
Once a target device's port LED is glowing green or red, the device
may be removed and another inserted in its place. The new device will be
examined and copying will proceed. The LCD Display will show an ongoing
tally of devices that passed and failed the copy process.
Duplicator Functions
The Duplicator menu has three sections: Main Menu, and Utility and Setup
which are accessed as Main Menu Items 6 and 7.
Main Menu
1. Copy
Performs the Copy process as described in the Quick Start section. When
the Copy function is on the menu display, it also shows the current setting for
the Copy Area function in the Setup Menu: (Data) for the “System and Files”
setting, or (Whole) for the “Whole Media” setting. For details, see 7.2. Copy
Area.
2. Compare
Performs a full comparison between the target devices and the source
device.

3. Copy+Compare
Performs both the Copy and Compare functions in a single step. Between
the two functions the devices are all powered down for a duration set by the
Power Off Time Between Copy+Compare function in the Setup menu.
Copy+Compare does not display the Copy Area setting.
4. Capacity Check
Performs a basic test on target devices to determine if they are functioning
properly. Does not report the status of the source device. Displays pass and
fail counts, and number of drives remaining to test under “Capacity” when in
progress. When complete, each target port will show a green or red LED
glowing to indicate which devices pass or fail. Using the arrow keys will
show the status or capacity of each device.
Capacity Check does work in Asynchronous mode, so once it's been
activated, target devices can be removed when finished and more target
devices can be inserted.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
5. Information
The Information function is actually a sub-menu with two functions:
5.1. USB Info.
Pressing OK for USB info will begin with a port number (beginning with [1],
which is the SOURCE port). Use the arrow buttons to move between ports.
As each port is selected, the unit will read a device if present, and report on
the capacity and file system found on that port.
5.2. System Info.
Displays the type of duplicator (by source and target count, for example 1-7)
and the firmware version.
Utility Menu
6.1. Do Format
Formats the target media using the following sub-options:
6.1.1. Auto Format
The Duplicator will format the media using the following rules:
If the media is formatted using one partition of either FAT16 or FAT32, the
unit will simply reformat the media the same way.
If the media is not formatted using a FAT file system, it will be formatted as
FAT16 if the capacity is under 2GB, or FAT32 if greater than 2TB.
6.1.2. FAT Format
The Duplicator will format the media as FAT16.
6.1.3. FAT32 Format
The Duplicator will format the media as FAT32.
Having chosen one of the three sub-options, press OK once more to confirm
the choice or ESC to cancel.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.

6.2. Measure Speed
Estimates the read and write speed of the target media. After selecting this
function, the port number in use will appear on the LCD, beginning with Port
2 (the first target). Press the arrow buttons to switch between targets. Once a
target is detected, the test will continue to run without accepting any more
input until it is complete, then provide a short report on the read and write
speed for the media found.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
6.3. Media Check
Performs a full examination of all space on target media using the following
sub-options:
6.3.1. H3 Safe
Performs a read-only examination of media, without harming any data.
6.3.2. H5 R/W
Performs a destructive read-write examination of media.
6.3.3. Setup Range
This option determines how much of the media is examined by the Media
Check, expressed as a percentage. This percentage is shown in the Media
Check menu for the Safe and R/W options. Default setting is 100%.
6.3.4. Set Error Limit
This option determines how much of the tested media may show an error
before a media is counted as a FAIL. Expressed as a percentage of the
tested area. The Default setting is 0.
Media Check uses Asynchronous Mode, meaning devices may be removed
once tested and new media may be inserted after the process begins.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
6.4. Quick Erase
Erases all content on all target media, leaving the file system intact. Quick
Erase only works on FAT16 or FAT32 file systems. Media formatted using
other file systems will fail, leaving the data intact. Works in Asynchronous
Mode, meaning media may be removed once erased and more may be
inserted later.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
6.5. Full Erase
Erases all content on target media completely by overwriting all blocks with
zeros, leaving the media unformatted when complete. Works in Asynchro-
nous Mode, meaning media may be removed once erased and more may be
inserted later.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
6.6. DoD Erase
Performs a 3-pass sanitization of all media blocks compliant with DoD
5220.22-M standards.
6.7. System Update
Performs a firmware update to the unit. Update procedure details to be
released with the update itself. Briefly, insert a media into the device contain-
ing the binary firmware image, then press OK. When the process is complete,
turn the unit completely off, wait five seconds, then turn the unit back on.

6.8. Calc. Checksum
Calculates a checksum value for the Copy Area function defined in the
Setup Menu.
NOTE: This function is not to be used to validate copies. Media that have
identical content and structure may still have different checksums. Testing
media devices for accurate duplication should only be done using the
Compare function.
Setup Menu
7.1. Startup Menu
Defines the function that will appear by default after power-on testing is
completed. Any of the Main Menu functions may be selected.
Default is 1. Copy.
7.2. Copy Area
Determines the method for copying from the source device to the target
devices: “Whole Media” copies the entire device, sector-by-sector – without
any regard to the contents. “System and Files” copies only the contents of
file systems understood by the firmware: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2 or ext3.
File systems not recognized by the firmware will be copied using the “Whole
Media” method.
Default is “System and Files.”
7.3. Button Beep
Enables or disables the unit sounding a “beep” noise when buttons are
pressed.
7.4. Asyn Hold Time
During operations that use Asynchronous Mode, this setting determines the
delay after all media have been removed before confirming that an operation
is complete. Once that delay has been expired, the operation will halt and
the display will request confirmation to exit the function. Press OK to confirm
the exit, ESC to resume the function.
Settings are “Turn OFF” to disable this feature, meaning Asynchronous
functions will continue indefinitely until ESC is pressed, or a selection of
delay in seconds or minutes.
Default is “Turn OFF.”
7.5. Target Tolerance
Used to define the acceptable difference in capacity during the copy func-
tion, using one of three settings:
No Limit: Target capacity will not be considered before proceeding.
100% Same: Target capacity will be considered suitable only if the capacity
is identical to the source.
Allow tolerance: Selecting this option offers two additional choices: Set UP
Limit allows either “No Limit” or a percentage greater than the source
capacity. Set LOW Limit allows either “No Limit” or a percentage less than
the source capacity.
The Target Tolerance menu item displays the current setting in parentheses.
Default is “No Limit.”
NOTE: The size of the file system on the source is always duplicated with all
contents. Target devices greater than or less than the source capacity will
not reflect any changes to correct the difference.

7.6. Asynchronous
Enables or disables Asynchronous Mode during the copy function. When
enabled, the Copy, Compare, and Copy+Compare functions will work as
described by the Quick Start section of this User Guide. When disabled,
the Copy, Compare, and Copy+Compare functions will work as described
in the Quick Start section of this User Guide in Direct Mode only.
Default is “Enable.”
7.7. Check Before Copy
Enables or disables testing target media before proceeding with the Copy
function.
Default is “Do Check” (enabled).
7.8. Power Off Time Between Copy+Compare
Determines the delay in seconds between the Copy and Compare func-
tions during Main Menu function 3. Copy+Compare.
Default is 3 (seconds).
7.9. Language
Sets the language used by the firmware's LCD display. Choices are
English or Japanese.
Default is English.
7.10. Working Mode
Determines the approximate rate at which the Duplicator will attempt to
copy media. Faster settings may shorten copy time but result in higher
failure rates, slower settings will cause the process to take longer but will
improve the reliability of the copy.
Default is “Normal Mode.” Choices are: Slowest, Slower, Normal, Faster,
Fastest.
7.11. Set HDD Mode
When enabled, all target devices will be required to be equal to or greater
than the capacity of the source, overriding “LOW Limit” tolerance settings
(see 7.5. Target Tolerance).
7.12. Restore Default
Returns all settings to their factory default values.
