Using Your Kanguru USB Duplicator

2. USING YOUR KANGURU USB DUPLICATOR

To setup your Kanguru USB Duplicator for use:

1. Before plugging in the AC Power Cable, please make sure that the voltage is adjusted to the same as your local voltage 110V/220V.

2. Make sure no USB drives are connected when powering on the unit.

3. You are now ready to begin using your Kanguru USB Duplicator. To begin, turn on the unit using the power switch located on the back panel. The Kanguru USB Duplicator is powered by an internal power supply that is controlled by a rocker switch located at the rear of the unit. Flip the switch to the On position.

The system will start up and you will see some initialization screens. When the system has finished initializing you will enter the Main menu. You are now ready to use your Kanguru USB Duplicator.

Things to remember:

• The Kanguru USB Duplicator supplies USB bus power to all drives. Most USB flash drives can operate using USB bus power only. If your USB drive normally requires an external power source to operate (most external USB Hard Drives require an external power source), then it will still require that power source.

• Throughout this manual we will be referring to Source and Targets. The Source refers to the device or image file that contains the data that you want to duplicate. Targets refer to devices that data will be copied to.

• It is OK to connect and disconnect Source or Target drives while the Kanguru USB Duplicator is powered on. However, do NOT disconnect drives while the machine is performing a function. Do not unplug devices while their activity lights are blinking! Please wait until a solid green light or solid red light appears next to the port the drive is connected to before removing it.

• When performing a Copy or Compare function, you can remove a Source drive once all the Target drives have been removed, even if the indicator light next to the Source port is still blinking.

• Make sure that your USB drives are USB-IF compliant. USB drives that are not USB-IF compliant will not work with the USB Duplicator.

• The USB Duplicator will not work with hardware encrypted/protected USB drives.

Navigating the User Interface

2.1 Navigating the User Interface

Kanguru Solutions designed the user interface with the professional in mind. The interface is fast, responsive, and concise. This means that very few key presses are needed to achieve a desired action.

The UI is controlled by 2 buttons located to the right of the LCD screen marked as ‘SET’ and ‘RUN’.

The ‘SET’ and ‘RESET’ buttons can be pressed in two ways:

• Tap – the button is pressed and released immediately. If the BTN. SOUND option is enabled (see section 4.4 BTN. Sound on page 27), a Tap will be accompanied by a short audible tone.

• Hold – the button is pressed and held for 3 seconds. If BTN. SOUND option is enabled (see section

4.4 BTN. Sound on page 27), a Hold will be accompanied by a short audible tone, followed by a higher pitched tone.

Note: When following the instructions listed in this manual, please pay close attention to whether you should tap a button or hold a button. The same button may function one way if tapped and another way if held.

General Operation / Duplication Modes

3. GENERAL OPERATION

The Kanguru USB Duplicator comes with an integrated hard drive. You can designate either a connected

USB drive or the internal hard drive as the Source. For more information about designating the Source location, please see section 4.3 Select Source on page 26. After you have selected your Source location, select a Copy mode.

3.1 Duplication Modes

The Kanguru USB Duplicator can Copy and/or Compare USB drives in any one of four modes:

3.1.1 FULL

FULL mode copies drives sector by sector from the Source to the Target(s), and supports all major

OS formats (DOS/Windows/Mac/Linux). This mode is the slowest copy mode, but the safest.

3.1.2 BRIEF

BRIEF mode copies only the sectors that contain data and skips any blank sectors (including information hidden in sub channels). This mode is the fastest copy mode; it supports the following file systems: FAT, FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, HFS.

Note: If the Source is not formatted as a supported file system then the duplicator will automatically switch to FULL mode.

3.1.3 RESIZE

RESIZE mode is used to copy between Source and Target drives of different capacities. The Resize mode allows for copying from a smaller capacity Source to larger capacity Target drives. Resize copy supports the following file systems: FAT, FAT 32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, HFS. If the

Source is not formatted as a supported file system then the duplicator will automatically switch to FULL mode. When duplicating in Resize mode, Target drives should all be the same capacity.

Note: Due to technical limitations the Resize function may only be executed on devices connected to the top row of USB ports. This feature may be updated in the future with a firmware update to allow Resize to function on all ports. Please contact Kanguru Solutions Technical Support for information about the latest firmware version (see chapter 7. Tech Support on page 36).

3.1.4 SMART

SMART mode checks the Source and Target drives and determines which copy mode is the most efficient and automatically operates in that mode.

○ First it will try to detect the Source drive’s file system. If it does not recognize the file system

11

Duplication Modes then it will copy in FULL mode. The USB Duplicator supports the following file systems: FAT,

FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, HFS

○ If it is able to recognize the file system of the Source, it will compare the capacity between the

Source and the Target.

- If the Source’s capacity is smaller than the Target then it will copy in RESIZE mode. The system will determine whether it needs to execute in Resize mode based on the NEED

RESIZE option under the ADVANCED SETUP menu (see section 5.11 Need Resize on page

33).

- If the Source’s capacity is equal to the Target, then it will copy in BRIEF mode.

- If the Target drives are of mixed capacities, it will determine a suitable copy mode based on the capacity of the smallest Target drive.

- If the Target drives are of mixed capacities and the difference between drives exceeds the

MOST VAR. CAP parameter, then the higher capacity drives that exceed the MOST VAR.

CAP parameter will be excluded from the duplication. The MOST VAR. CAP parameter can be configured under the ADVANCED SETUP menu (see section 5.10 Most Var. Cap on page 33).

12

Defining Copy and/or Compare Functionality

3.2 Defining Copy and/or Compare Functionality

Before performing a duplication, take a moment to define the SET COPY and SET COMPARE options under the SETUP menu. These options will tell the duplicator how the FULL, SMART, BRIEF and

RESIZE modes will function.

3.2.1 Set Copy Functionality

When enabled FULL, SMART, BRIEF and RESIZE modes will execute a Copy process. The SET

COPY option is enabled by default.

To change the SET COPY option:

1. From the Main menu, hold the ‘SET’ button to enter the SETUP menu.

2. Tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the SET COPY option. It is marked with an asterisk by default, signifying that copy functionality is currently enabled.

3. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to toggle whether copy functionality is enabled or disabled.

SETUP

3.2.2 Set Compare Functionality

When enabled FULL, SMART, BRIEF and RESIZE modes will execute a Compare process, comparing the data between the Source and Target drives and confirming that they are identical. The SET COMPARE option is disabled by default.

To change the SET COMPARE option:

1. From the Main menu, hold the ‘SET’ button to enter the SETUP menu.

2. Tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the SET COMPARE option. It should not be marked by default, signifying that compare functionality is currently disabled.

3. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to toggle whether the option is enabled or disabled.

SETUP

3.2.3 Set Copy & Compare functionality

Both the SET COPY and SET COMPARE options can be enabled at the same time. When both options are enabled FULL, SMART, BRIEF and RESIZE modes will execute a Copy & Compare process, copying the data from the Source to the Target drives and then comparing the data on all drives to ensure that they are identical.

13

Duplicating Using a USB Device as the Source

3.3 Duplicating Using a USB Device as the Source

Duplicating Using the Internal Hard Drive as the Source

3.4 Duplicating Using the Internal Hard Drive as the Source

The USB Duplicator has an internal hard drive that allows you to load an image of a USB drive directly onto the hard drive. This provides you with a convenient way to store common jobs directly on the duplicator.

Note: When you designate the internal hard drive as the Source location it frees up an additional USB port, which would normally be used as the Source location, for use as a Target port.

First you need to designate your USB Duplicator’s internal hard drive as the Source location.

1. From the Main menu, hold the ‘SET’ button to enter the SETUP menu.

2. From the SETUP menu, tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the SELECT SOURCE option.

3. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to change the SELECT SOURCE option to “H”. This will designate the internal hard drive as the source location.

Next you have to load an image of your USB drive to the internal hard drive:

1. From the SETUP menu, hold the ‘SET’ button to return to the Main menu.

2. From the Main menu, tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to LOAD.

3. Connect the USB drive into any of the USB ports on the top row. When the Source drive has been initialized you will see the following screen.

Name of the current image file

Size of the USB drive

LOAD 000/

READY TO GO . . .

1GB

4. Tap the ‘RUN’ button. The duplicator will ask you to input a name for the image file.

Please Input

READY TO GO . . .

Note: If the image name starts with a ‘B’ (e.g. B003) then the image is a Brief image. If the image name starts with a ‘F’ (e.g. F003) then the image is a Full image. Brief images can be used for SMART, BRIEF and RESIZE copy modes. Full images can only be used for FULL copy mode. The USB Duplicator will load a Brief image by default. To load a Full image, please see section 5.9 Load Full Image on page 32.

4. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to execute.

WARNING! Do not remove any drives while they are in use. You can tell if a drive is in use if the green
