THE BELKIN BUSSTATION’”
It is the first USB system designed to adapt to the way you work.
Its innovative, patented modular design gives you the ability to
create and customize your own USB environment. It comes
standard as a 7 port hub and is the best 7 port USB hub available
because it has the most the unique vertical modular design
requiring a minimum of your precious desktop space. As a 7 port
hub, it allows you to connect up to seven USB keyboards, mice,
joysticks, printers, scanners, modems, or other USB devices to a
single USB port on your Ma?’ or PC.
But best of all, the BusStation’” is modular! The base is a 4 port
hub and comes with three removable modules, each having one
USB port. You can add and subtract components from a complete
selection of modules that cover virtually every possible
configuration. This makes the Belkin patented modular design
uniquely “customizable”.
If you have the need to expand and add
ports, simply slide the USB port module off the BusStation’” and
you have room to snap in one of the many available Belkin USB
modules, including SCSI ports, Ethernet .ports, serial ports and
more. Configure it to fit your own computing needs, build your
own multifunction hub - because it’s USB, you don’t even have to
shut down your computer.
7 port hub (standard configuration). Connect up to 7 devices
to a single USB port on your computer.

By adding modules to the BusStation’: you can have your own
custom-configured multi-function USB hub or docking station. You
can add and subtract components from a complete selection of
modules that cover virtually every possible configuration. Need
Ethernet? Snap an Ethernet module in. Need.more USB ports?
Add a 4 Port USB hub. Choose from a variety of stand-alone USB
modules including SCSI ports, Ethernet ports, serial ports and
more. Configure it to fit your own computing needs - because it’s
USB, it’s true Plug-and-Play!

When attaching additional modules to the BusStation”‘, there is
no need to power down your computer, or unplug the
BusStation’“.
Note on Power Consumption
USB specifies that each port can only draw a maximum of 500 mA
of electrical current. If a device draws more than that amount, the
Bus Station’s built-in “Overcurrent Protection” will shut off that
port, and prevent damage to the device and the Bus Station.
When you first purchase the BusStation’“, it is essentially a 7 port
hub. At 500 mA for each port, that’s a total of 3.5 A current.
The included power supply provides 4.0 A, which is more than
enough.
Replacing the one-port modules with other non-hub modules
poses no power issues. However, if you decide to add a 4-port
hub module, you must provide that 4-port hub with additional
power. When you purchase a 4-port hub module, it will include a
2.1 A power supply necessary for each port to provide 500 mA of
current. Simply plug the supplied adapter into the rear of the
4-port hub module, and you’re done! If you do not connect the
2.1 A power adapter to the 4-port hub module, each port on that
4-port hub can only supply 100 mA of current.
Usually, only low-power devices such as mice and keyboards will
run at 100 mA. More complex devices such as scanners, modems,
and additional hubs require the full 500 mA of current.
Note: Modules should only be.added starting from the,,:,

4 Port Hub base of the module working your way up.
1. Remove the sleeve from the USB module following the instructions in

’ 2. Place the module you wish to add in the first empty slot directly
above the 4 Port hub.
3. Do not force the module into the BusStation”.
As you slide the module into the BusStation’” it should securely lock
onto the guide track of the one below it.
4. Gently slide the module into the BusStation’” bay until you hear a
solid click. (See Figure 6)
5. The modules should fit evenly on top of one another.
6. Follow the installation instructions of the USB module you attached
to the BusStation’“.
