6.2 Installing the Transmitter & Receiver
6.2.1. Preparing for Installation
Follow these steps to prepare your site:
1. Determine where the host computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where you want to locate the remote USB device(s).
3. If you are using surface cabling, the extender supports a maximum distance or 100m ( 328ft ).
Or
4. If you are using premise cabling, make sure that Cat.5e cabling is installed between the two locations,
with Cat.5e information outlets located near both computer and USB devices. The total length of this
cable, including patch cords, must not be longer than 100m ( 328ft ).
6.2.2. Installing the Transmitter (Local Unit)
1. Plug the supplied USB cable into the transmitter and connect an available USB port of computer.
2. Plug one end of the Cat.5e cable into the Link port (RJ-45) on the transmitter. (Please see Category
cable wiring)
3. Power LED indicator lights on.
6.2.3. Installing the Receiver (Remote Unit)
1. Plug the other end of the Cat.5e cable into the Link port (RJ-45) on the receiver.
2. Plug the 5VDC power adapter into the receiver, and AC plug into the power receptacle. (If you are
using 4 ports hub receiver, do plug 5VDC 2A power adapter)
3. Connect the USB devices through USB cable into the USB hub(s) of receiver.
4. Power LED indicator lights on

6.3 Checking the Installation
1. Check the Link (Orange) LED indicators blinking both transmitter and receiver.
2. For Windows users (2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1,10, 11), open Device Manager to confirm the extender has been
installed correctly. Expand the Entry and check the USB controllers. If the extender is installed correctly, it
should be listed as a “Generic USB Hub.”
3. For Mac OS X users, open the System Profiler to confirm that the extender has been installed correctly. In the
left column under Hardware, select “USB” and check the right panel. If the extender has been installed
correctly, you should find it listed as a “Hub” under the USB High-Speed Bus/USB Bus.
4. If the extender is not detected correctly or fails to detect, go to the page of Troubleshooting.
NOTE:
The extender complies with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specifications governing the design of USB devices. However,
we do not guarantee that all USB devices are compatible with the extender, as there are a number of different
factors that may impact the operation of USB devices over extended distances.

7. Category cable wiring
Take precaution selecting the Cat.5e wires before connecting; use a cable tester to check the wires are
correctly terminated. (Incorrect Termination may cause damage to the receiver unit). Recommend to use
T568B wiring as shown below
8. Troubleshooting
Table -1 provides troubleshooting tips. The solutions are arranged in the order in which they should be executed
in most situations. If you are unable to resolve the problem after following these instructions, contact your
distributor for further support.
Table -1 Troubleshooting tips
Problem Cause Solution
The USB device is
attached but not
functioning.
• The USB device requires
drivers that were not installed.
• The USB device does not
support USB hubs.
• The USB device might be
failed.
1. Install the required USB device driver on the computer
operating system before plug in the USB device to the
receiver. Access your USB device’s manufacturer’s Web
site for detail info.
2. In the Universal Serial Bus (USB) controllers section of
Device Manager, check if the USB device is listed.
The USB device is
attached but not
functioning.
• An over current condition has
occurred because the USB
device is drew more current
than it can be supplied per
USB specification (500mA).
Operating systems may pop up
to indicate an issue.
1. Unplug the power adapter from the receiver, wait
approximately 30 seconds; plug the power adapter into
receiver again.
2. If over current keeps occurring, either the USB device
may use more power than the USB specification, or the
USB device may be damaged.
3. Consult your USB device documentation and plug into
your USB device with the required power adapter.
