Troubleshooting
If your USB Cat5 Extender/Hub is not working properly, try the following:
• Make sure that the unit is connected to the included AC Adapter and
plugged into a working power source
• Ensure that the Cat5e/6 cable connecting the Local and Remote Units
does not exceed 150 ft. (45m)
• Ensure that none of the USB cables being used to connect a device to
the USB Cat5 Extender/Hub are longer than 16 ft. (5m)
• Ensure that the Cat5e/6 cable is working properly by connecting it
between two devices you know work properly (e.g. connect a working
computer to a live network and try accessing the internet). If the
Cat5e/6 cable does not work in this environment, try using another
Cat5e/6 cable.
• Ensure that the USB cable functions properly by connecting to a device
that you know works properly (e.g. plug a USB printer directly into a
computer). If this does not work, try using another USB cable.
• Ensure that the USB device you are plugging in works properly by
connecting it to a working device using a USB cable that you know
works (e.g. connect a USB printer to a working computer using a cable
you know works). If this does not work, your USB device may not be
working properly.
