Thank you for purchasing the ex•tend•it USB•200 Series.
Incorporating ExtremeUSB, the new USB•200 model allows
users the benefits of USB technology beyond the desktop,
extending your computer keyboard, mouse, trackball, and
any USB device up to 330 feet away from the location of
your Macintosh or PC computer.
The USB•200 system consists of two units: the
USB•200S Sender resides next to the host computer, and
the USB•200R Receiver resides next to the extended USB
devices.
The USB•200 signal controls the keyboard, mouse,
trackball and other USB devices by buffering the keyboard/
mouse signal through send and receive line drivers, and the
signal is extended by using standard Category 5 (CAT-5)
cabling.
You can connect additional USB•200 setup to the same
computer, allowing you to access the computer from multiple
locations up to 330 feet apart.

1. On the USB•200S send unit, check that the power indica-
tor is GREEN.
2. On the USB•200S send unit, check that the link indicator
is GREEN.
3. On the USB•200R receiver unit, check that the power indi-
cator is GREEN.
4. Once all LEDs are illuminated as suggested, the USB•200
is ready to accept a USB peripheral device at the USB port
on the USB•200R receiver unit. Follow the installation in-
structions as if one were installing the device directly into a
computer's USB port.
5. On the host computer, check that a general purpose
hub is visible in the Control Panel. Once connected, a USB
peripheral device causes its host computer to automatically
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•200 is not an end 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•200
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•200 model.
