Installation
1. Place the Local and Remote units at the desired locations and connect together using RJ45 terminated Cat5 or Cat6 cabling. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Cat5e cabling to connect the Local Unit to the Remote Unit’s location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ45 connector. The cabling cannot go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
OR b) If you are using premise cabling, ensure that the Cat5e cabling between the Local Unit to the Remote Unit has been properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long enough to connect the Remote Unit to their respective outlets. The cabling cannot go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
2. Connect the included power adapter to the Local unit
(USB2002EXT2) or the Remote unit (USB2004EXT2/USB2001EXT2).
Note: connect an additional power adapter (sold separately) to the local unit (USB2004EXT2/USB2001EXT2) for cases where the host computer is not able to supply enough power.
3. Connect the Local unit to the host computer system with a USB cable. The computer can be either powered On or Off. The operating system should detect the extender and install it automatically.
4. USB devices can now be connected to the Remote unit. Once they are connected they will be recognized and operate through the extender.
