Rev 1.1 5/17
When not properly connected (red icon, above), the HC-USB2-AIR will
show up under ‘Not Connected’.
When properly connect, the HC-USB2-AIR will appear under ‘Connected’
and show relative RF signal strength as well as how many USB Devices are
connected to the Device hub (note that ‘composite’ USB devices may
show up as more than one device. Even though you physically only plug
one physical device into the hub, e.g. A webcam with built-in microphone
will connect as 2 devices: video and audio).
Connection is intermittent (e.g. USB camera is losing image, USB mic is distorting or
dropping out).
o
Your USB 2.0 Device may not be working correctly. Connect your USB 2.0 Device
directly to your PC via wired USB to make sure that it is fully functional before
connecting it to the HC-USB2-AIR system.
o
Signal strength may be weak (see Signal Strength meter on ‘devices’ tab of UWB
Connection Manager, as described above):
System has an effective range of about 15’ to 20’. Success at greater
distances can vary significantly based upon the environment and the USB
2.0 devices connected. Try moving the Host and Device antennae closer
or improving their visibility (see below).
System absolutely requires ‘line of sight’. Be sure that both Host and
Device Module antennae are upright and ‘visible’ to each other (note:
signal can bounce off of walls, floor and ceiling to create ‘line of sight’).
See obstructions, below.
Metal, stone, and other obstructing objects, including the human body
can block RF signals. Make sure that neither antennae is being blocked or
shrouded in any way.
Any RF signal can be affected by EMF (electromagnetic force). Try
relocating Host and/or Device antennae away from other electrical
devices or AC wiring.
o
Try using a different channel than the auto-selected channel. Open UWB
Connection Manager, as described above.
Select the ‘Communications’ tab.
