PoweredUSB ports to your PC. These additional ports are controlled by the PC’s Standby and Wake
commands. This add-on Hub makes it easy to connect the PC to devices that require more than the
500mA of +5 volts supplied with the standard USB interface.

2.4.1 Power Supply
The PoweredUSB specification requires supplying +24V at 2.3A and +12V at 1.5A to each voltage
designated port. These requirements are met only if the power supply has sufficient wattage for this
amount of power.
The Epson PS180 brick and Dell printer power supply are examples of lower-cost alternate power
supplies that can be used with this Hub and peripherals requiring less power. Two power plug
receptacles are provided on the back of the 4-Port PoweredUSB Hub to facilitate the use of alternate
power supplies.
The three-pin connector is normally used for the Dell and Epson Bricks. The four-pin connector is
used for a high-current power supply. See Figure 2-9 for an illustration of cable routing from the 4-
Port PoweredUSB Hub.
CAUTION The P1 and P2 DC input jacks on the back of this Hub are for input only. Do not plug
power supplies into both input jacks simultaneously as equipment damage that might void the
product warranty could occur.

2.4.2 Host Connector
The connection to the host computer is achieved via a standard USB 2.0 certified Hi-Speed “A” to
“B” cable that is included in the Accessory Kit, or with any equivalent USB 2.0 certified Hi-Speed
cable. Refer to the Section 2.1, "Product Components List" for information about the Accessory Kit.

2.5 Operation
The 4-Port PoweredUSB Hub is a standard USB Hub that complies with the USB 2.0 specification,
and adds PoweredUSB ports. When connected to a Host, it is enumerated as a Generic USB Hub. This
Hub also meets the PoweredUSB .08g specification. For more information about this specification,
go to www.poweredusb.org.
POS peripheral
caveat
According to the USB 2.0 specification, devices attached to a USB interface should enumerate from
the Hub’s USB Vbus, regardless of the PoweredUSB powered ports. Some POS devices do not
comply with this specification, and will not enumerate unless the upper sections of the PoweredUSB
ports are active.
When running on operating systems such as Windows XP with no devices attached (an empty Hub),
the operating system turns the Hub off. The operating system does not detect non-compliant
peripherals when they are hot-plugged into an empty Hub. Consequently PoweredUSB power is
not supplied to the peripheral. In this case, you can restore correct operation as follows.
1. Unplug the Host side connection for five seconds, and then plug it in again.
2. Be sure that at least one USB device is plugged in when the computer is booted, or leaves
standby mode.
3. Plug in a standard USB compliant device, such as a mouse or keyboard.
4. Disable the low-power, standby operation. With this configuration, power is always supplied to
the PoweredUSB ports regardless of the PC’s operational state. For more information, contact
CyberData as instructed in Appendix C, "Troubleshooting/Technical Support".

2.6 Port Electrical Specifications
The 4-Port PoweredUSB Hub adheres to the USB 2.0 electrical specifications as follows:
Standard USB
lower A supply
Each lower portion of the PoweredUSB port provides +5V @ 500mA. If more than 500mA are drawn
from a port, that port goes into USB over current, the +5 volts is turned off, and the condition is
reported to the host according to USB 2.0 specifications.
PoweredUSB
supply
The listed maximum currents depend on the selected power supply. Both the +12V and +24V
PoweredUSB ports are protected with active over current circuits. If an over current condition
occurs, unplug the DC connection, remove the overcurrent condition, and re-cycle the DC
connection to the Hub by unplugging it, and then plugging it in again.
●+12V Ports (3) – 1.5A each
●+24V Port (1) – 2.3A
