Connecting the Local unit to the Remote
unit
Note:
To ensure proper operation, it is recommended that only Cat 5 or better, Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling be used to connect the Local unit to the Remote unit. The
cabling must have a straight-through conductor configuration with no crossovers and
must be terminated with 8 conductor RJ45 connectors at both ends. The combined length
of any patch cords using stranded conductors must not exceed 10m.
With Surface Cabling
1. Plug one end of the Cat 5 cabling (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the Local
unit.
2. Plug the other end of the Cat 5 cabling into the Link port (RJ45) on the Remote unit.
With Premise Cabling
1. Plug one end of a Cat 5 patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the
Local unit.
2. Plug the other end of the patch cord into the Cat 5 information outlet near the host
computer.
3. Plug one end of the 2nd Cat 5 patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on
the Remote unit.
4. Plug the other end of the 2nd patch cord into the Cat 5 information outlet near the
USB device.
Checking the Installation
1. On the Local and Remote units, check that the Power, Host, and Link LEDs are on
and that the Activity LED is blinking. If the Link LED is permanently off, then the
cabling between the Local and Remote unit is not installed properly or is defective.
2. For Windows users (2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7), open Device Manager to confirm
that the UEH4002 has installed correctly. Expand the entry for Universal Serial Bus
