Configuring the hub’s powered serial ports
The serial ports can be configured as standard (non-powered) serial ports or powered serial ports. Some
devices use a powered serial port. If the serial port is configured as a powered port, devices that support a
powered serial interface do not require an external power source.
IMPORTANT:
The computer must be turned off before you connect or disconnect serial port devices.
NOTE:
The hub ships with all serial ports configured in standard, non-powered serial mode (0 volts).
There are three voltage settings for each serial port:
●
0 volts
●
5 volts
●
12 volts
To change the voltage setting for each powered serial port:
1.
In the software included with the product, select Settings.
2.
Select Connected devices and then select Powered Serial Port Voltage.
3.
Select the appropriate voltage for the connected device.
IMPORTANT:
To reduce the risk of damage to a connected device, make sure that you select the correct
serial port voltage.
Mounting the hub
The hub can be attached to a wall or other surface using the keyholes on the back of the hub.
The suspension height for the hub should not exceed 2 meters. The spacing for the two screws embedded in
the wall is 180 mm. The screw thread size should be M3, and the screw length should be no less than 6 mm
with a diameter of 3 mm.
