Connecting the USB-3114 to your system
To connect the USB-3114 to your system, turn your computer on, and connect the USB cable to a USB port on
your computer or to an external USB hub that is connected to your computer. The USB cable provides power
and communication to the USB-3114.
When you connect the USB-3114 to a computer for the first time, a Found New Hardware dialog opens when
the operating system detects the device. When the dialog closes, the installation is complete. After the
USB-3114 is installed, the USB LED should flash and then remain lit. This indicates that communication is
established between the USB-3114 and your computer.
Caution!
Do not disconnect any device from the USB bus while the computer is communicating with the
USB-3114, or you may lose data and/or your ability to communicate with the USB-3114.
If the USB LED turns off
If the USB LED is illuminated but then turns off, the computer has lost communication with the USB-3114. To
restore communication, disconnect the USB cable from the computer, and then reconnect it. This should restore
communication, and the LED should turn back
on .
