Thank you for purchasing the Gefen USB•100 Series. The USB•100 incorporates
ExtremeUSB™ technology, which allows users the benefits of USB technology
extended far beyond the desktop at remote locations. Extending your USB peripherals
up to 330 feet away from the location of your office computer is done easily with the
USB•100.
The USB•100 system consists of two units. The USB•100S Sender resides next to
the host computer, and the USB•100R Receiver is linked to the Sender via Category-5
(CAT-5) cable and resides at the desired location of the USB accessory device away
from the computer.
You can connect additional USB•100 systems to the same computer, allowing you to
connect multiple USB peripherals at remote locations up to 330 feet away from the host
computer.

1. On the USB•100S Sender unit, check that the power indicator is GREEN.
2. On the USB•100S Sender unit, check that the link indicator is GREEN.
3. On the USB•100R Receiver unit, check that the power indicator is GREEN.
4. Once all LEDs are illuminated as suggested, the USB•100 is ready to accept a USB
peripheral device at the USB port on the USB•100R Receiver unit. Follow the installation
instructions as if one were installing the device directly into a computer's USB port.
5. On the host computer, check that a general purpose USB hub is visible in the Control
Panel.Onceconnected,aUSBperipheraldevicecausesitshostcomputertoautomatically
enumerate it. This simply means that the computer must identify the new device, assign
it an ID, and ensure that the required software drivers are available for loading when the
device is to be used.
6. The USB•100 is not an endpoint device. Consequently, it does not have a software
component or driver to be loaded. Some peripheral devices that are to be attached to the
USB•100 will have a USB Driver diskette or CD-ROM which will need to be inserted after
initial connection to a USB port on the USB•100.
