About this Guide
This user guide contains information to install, configure, and operate the Extron
USB Extender Plus Series transmitter and receiver pairs. Additional product information can be found on the Extron Electronics website at
www.extron.com
.
In this guide, the term “extender” refers to either the transmitter or the receiver. Where differences exist between the transmitter and receiver, they are noted. Unless otherwise specified, the product name “USB Extender Plus” refers to Extender Plus models.
About the USB Extender Plus Series
The USB Extender Plus extends signals over a single CATx twisted pair cable from USB peripheral devices that are located long distances from the host computer. It is compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 devices with a high speed data transfer rate of up to
480 Mbps.
The transmitter connects directly to a USB port on a PC or USB host and includes USB peripheral emulation to enable trouble-free booting of a host computer that is not connected to a keyboard or mouse. The receiver features a built-in active four-port hub that supplies power to multiple attached USB devices.
The transmitters and receivers are available in three form factors that can be mixed and matched:
• Rack mountable models — The USB Extender Plus models are 1 inch (2.5 cm) high, 6 inches (15 cm) deep, quarter rack wide and can be mounted to a rack or under furniture, or placed on a tabletop (see
Mounting the USB Extender Plus Series
on page 37).
The USB Extender Plus Human Interface Device (HID) models extend the usable distance of USB human interface peripheral devices, and card and CAC readers.HID peripherals include standard keyboards, mice, and hubs that do not require special
USB device drivers. The standard and the HID-only rack-mountable transmitters have identical enclosures and connectors, as do the receivers. The only visible difference between these models is an “HID Only” label on the rear panels of the HID-only models.
USB Extender Plus Series • Introduction

Features
• Architectural Adapter Plate (AAP) model — The USB Extender Plus AAP transmitter and receiver fit into a double-space AAP opening and is wall mountable. It can be mounted to a one-gang junction box if desired.
• Decora model — The USB Extender Plus D is a Decora
®
-style wallplate that fits into a one-gang junction box.
NOTE: The transmitter and receiver pair work with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. However, to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables are required.
•
Point-to-point long distance transmission — Extends USB peripherals up to
330 feet (100 meters) on one CAT 5/5e/6/7 cable for point-to-point applications.
• 1:N pairing over the network — One transmitter can be connected to up to four receivers.
• Extended transmission distance through network connection — Up to five gigabit network switches can be connected between the transmitter and receiver to increase the signal distance to up to 1980 feet (600 meters).
• Supports USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 devices — Supports bulk, control, interrupt, and isochronous transfers as defined by the USB specification.
•
Provides data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps — Allows high speed transfer from thumb drives and other mass storage devices.
• Integrated four-port hub — The receiver has a four-port integrated USB hub, which provides 5 volts, 500 mA on each port. Allows simultaneous connection to multiple peripheral devices such as the Extron Annotator 300, mass storage devices, keyboards, mice, or other human interface devices (HID).
• Peripheral emulation — Offers increased system reliability by emulating a continuous connection between the host and an HID-compliant keyboard and mouse.
• Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and monitoring — Front and rear panel LED indicators provide visual confirmation of port activity between an active host and each connected peripheral device.
•
Rack and furniture mountable — Low-profile, 1-inch (2.5 cm) high, quarter rack wide metal enclosures enable the extenders to be installed discreetly, such as beneath a table or inside a lectern.
• Included power supplies — An energy-efficient, external, universal power supply, part number 70-775-01 (28-071-57LF), is provided with each unit. The power supply provides worldwide power compatibility with high demonstrated reliability and low power consumption.
• Remote configuration and control — The transmitter and receiver can be configured via Extron SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands issued from the computer to the front panel 2.5 mm TRS Config port of the extenders.
• Choice of rack-mountable and architectural form factors — Available in a rack mountable metal enclosure, a dual AAP frame version, and a one-gang Decora-style wallplate for easy integration into a variety of environments.
•
Extends human interface devices — The USB Extender Plus HID-only models extend the usable distance of smart card readers and USB human interface peripheral devices that do not require special USB device drivers, including a standard keyboard, mouse, hub, and other devices.

Connection Guidelines
The USB Extender Plus can be installed in existing and new systems within the following guidelines:
• The USB Extender Plus cannot be cascaded (you cannot sequentially connect a
USB Extender Plus to another USB Extender Plus or to a FOX T/R USB Extender Plus).
•
The extenders have three internal hubs, two of which can be disabled via SIS or the
Product Configuration Software (PCS). The hubs that can be disabled are those for peripheral emulation and 1:N network pairing.
• The USB Extender Plus is able to support a maximum of 31 downstream USB devices
(including hubs). For example, if two 4-port USB hubs are connected to a receiver, that totals ten devices (two hub connections plus the eight hub ports).
• When extenders are configured for 1:N (multiple) network pairing, a transmitter can support only one high speed device at a time. For point-to-point pairing, the transmitter can support multiple high speed devices.

The system is now ready to operate.
Pairing and Unpairing the Transmitter and Receiver (Point-to-Point Only)
In order to function together, the transmitter and receiver must be paired the first time they are used together. Both units must be connected together through their RJ-45 connectors
(the transmitter Output connector and the receiver Input connector) and powered on.
NOTES:
•
Pairing and unpairing via the pair button is required only for point-to-point non-network applications.
•
Before pairing a transmitter to a receiver, Extron recommends that you unpair and
cycle power to each unit in order to clear any previous pairing or to resolve any pairing issues that might occur (see “Unpairing the transmitter and receiver”).
Unpairing the transmitter and receiver
To unpair a transmitter and receiver that have been paired together:
1.
Press and hold the
Pair
button on either the transmitter or receiver until the transmitter or receiver Link LED turns off (approximately 10 seconds) and the Link LED on the receiver begins to blink.
2.
Release the
Pair
button.
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each transmitter and receiver.
4.
Proceed with pairing the units (see
Pairing the transmitter and receiver
on the next page).
USB Extender Plus Series • Installation and Operation 12
Pairing the transmitter and receiver
You can initiate pairing from either the transmitter or the receiver (the procedure described below is for transmitter-to-receiver pairing). To pair the transmitter and receiver:
1.
Using a stylus or small screwdriver, press the recessed
Pair
button on the transmitter front panel and hold it for 1 second. The front panel Link LED on the transmitter begins blinking as pairing is initiated.
2.
Within 10 minutes of pressing the transmitter
Pair
button, press the receiver
Pair
button and hold it for 1 second. The receiver front panel Link LED begins to blink.
When the LEDs of both units have stopped blinking and remain lit steadily, the pairing is complete.
NOTES:
•
After they have been paired, the transmitter and receiver can be powered down and disconnected from each other.
•
A transmitter and receiver need to be paired only once (at startup). If the paired units are reconnected and powered on, they do not have to be paired again.
•
For the AAP and Decora models, be sure to perform this procedure before mounting the units.
Canceling pairing
To stop the pairing process before it completes, do either of the following:
• Do not perform step 2 of the pairing process described above (that is, do not press the
Pair
button within 10 minutes).
• Press the transmitter
Pair
button and hold it for 1 second. The Link LED turns off.
Connecting for Serial Communication
The Config ports on both the transmitter and the receiver enable communication with a computer via an RS-232 connection.
NOTE: On the rack-mountable models (USB Extender Plus standard and HID-only), the
Config port is on the front panel and easily accessible.
On the AAP and Decora models, the Config port is on the rear panel, so that it is not available after the unit is mounted. Any configuration via this port must be done before the product is mounted.
To enable serial communication, connect a 9-pin D-to-2.5 mm cable (not included) from the computer serial port to the Config port on the transmitter or receiver. You can enter SIS commands at the computer and issue them to the transmitter or receiver to control and configure the unit. The port protocol is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
USB Extender Plus Series • Installation and Operation 13
An optional 9-pin D-to-2.5 mm TRS configuration cable is available from

Connecting over the Network
For increased signal distance, you can connect a gigabit network switch between the
Ethernet ports of a transmitter and receiver. Each unit can be connected and placed up to
330 feet (100 meters) from the switch for a total distance of 660 feet (200 meters), as shown in the example in figure 12.
NOTES:
•
The transmitter, receivers, and the PC running the PCS software must all be on the same subnet and network.
•
When using over-the-network or 1:N pairing, you can use only one high speed device at a time to one transmitter. High speed USB devices include webcams, audio devices, external hard drives, and so on.

USB Extender Plus Series • Installation and Operation 14
Pairing a Transmitter to Multiple Receivers
You can also connect a transmitter and up to four receivers to a network switch, then tie
(pair) the transmitter to the connected receivers using the Extron PCS Control Program. The computer communicates with all connected USB Extenders via the network and makes ties through their hardware (MAC) addresses (see the example in figure 14).
NOTES:
•
The transmitter, receivers, switch, and the PC running the PCS software must all be on the same network.
•
You can have multiple transmitters and switches connected to your system, and each transmitter can have up to four receivers. However,
a receiver cannot be
connected to more than one transmitter.

System Operation
No drivers are required for a host PC to function with the USB Extender Plus. The transmitter is detected by the operating system and appropriate USB drivers are loaded.
Certain USB peripherals, such as gaming keyboards, USB interactive whiteboards, scanners, printers, and similar devices, require specific drivers installed on the PC. See the
USB device installation instructions or the website of the peripheral device manufacturer to obtain drivers.
Once the transmitter, the receiver, the PC or USB host, and peripherals are connected, have appropriate drivers loaded, and are powered up, the system is fully operational. If problems are encountered, ensure all cables are routed and connected properly and the latest drivers for each peripheral are installed.
Troubleshooting
USB signals are generally reliable but are susceptible to bad connections or cables that are too long. The TP cable can have the same issues. To avoid the loss of data and communications, follow these guidelines:
• The USB cables that connect the transmitter to the host or the receiver hub ports to peripheral devices should not exceed 6 feet (1.8 meters).
• When connecting the host or peripherals, use only cables designed for USB signals.
•
Avoid or limit the use of adapters.
• The USB Extender Plus works as described in point-to-point applications. Do not use additional adapters, patch panels, or couplers with the host USB cables, hub USB cables, or twisted pair cables. Additional links in the signal chain can result in the reduction of signal integrity and overall system performance.
When properly connected and operating, the transmitter and receiver Power LEDs, Link
LEDs and Host LEDs are lit. The Hub LED for each connected peripheral recognized by the host PC is also lit.
Front panel LEDs are also useful for troubleshooting.

Remote
Configuration and Control
This section describes the connection through which the USB Extender Plus can be configured and controlled remotely via Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands, and describes the commands that are available. Topics include:
•
•
Using the Command and Response Table
•
Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
SIS Commands
Using SIS commands, you can remotely set up and control the USB Extenders Plus via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) that is attached to the Config port or to the front panel Host port (AAP and Decora models only). If the computer, transmitter, and receiver are connected to a gigabit network switch for a network connection, SIS commands can be sent over Ethernet. You can issue SIS commands to the extender using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer or HyperTerminal.
NOTE: The SIS command for resetting must be issued to both the transmitter and the receiver. Do not reset one unit without resetting the other.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the USB Extender Plus determines that a command that was entered is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
Most responses from the USB Extender Plus to the host computer end with a carriage return and a line feed (
CR/LF
= ]), which signals the end of the response character string.
A string is one or more characters.
Extender-initiated Message
When power is applied to the extender or after the unit has been reset via SIS, it sends the following copyright message:
(C)Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics, USB Extender Plus Series, Vn.nn,
60-nnnn-nn
] where
Vn.nn
is the firmware version number and 60-
nnnn

nn
is the unit part number.
NOTE: This message is displayed only when power is applied to the extender while it is connected to the computer via the Config port.

Rack Mounting Safety Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of these products in a rack:
1.
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F,
+50 °C) specified by Extron.
2.
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe operation.
3.
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
4.
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Consider the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
5.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
To find an appropriate rack mounting kit for your installation, go to the product page at
