Orion Extender Installation and Operation Manual
60
USB-HID
Orion XTender boards with a USB-HID interface support a maximum of two USB-HID devices. Each USB-HID
port provides a maximum current of 100 mA.
Keyboard
The units are compatible with most USB keyboards. Certain keyboards with additional functionality may require
custom firmware to operate. Keyboards with an integral USB Hub (e.g. Mac keyboards) are also supported.
Mouse
The extenders are compatible with most 2-button, 3-button, and wheel mice.
Other USB-HID devices
The custom USB emulation on the Orion Xtenders also supports other USB-HID devices, such as specific
touch screens, graphic tablets, barcode scanners and special keyboards. However, support cannot be
guaranteed for every USB-HID device.
Notes:
1. Only two USB-HID devices can be connected at a time, such as a keyboard and a mouse, or a keyboard
and a touch screen. An external hub is allowed, but it does not increase the number of HID devices allowed.
2. To support other USB 'non-HID' devices, such as scanners, web cams or memory devices, choose boards
with USB 2.0 (transparent) support.
PS/2
Boards with PS/2 connectors support the use of a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
Keyboard
The units are compatible with most PS/2 keyboards, even with various special keyboards. Certain keyboards
with additional functions can be run with special firmware.
Mouse
The units are compatible with most 2-button, 3-button, and wheel mice.
USB 2.0 (transparent)
Orion Xtender models with transparent USB 2.0 support the connection of
all
types of USB 2.0 devices
(without restriction). USB 2.0 data transfer is supported, depending on the upgrade module, with USB high
speed (max. 480 Mbit/s) or USB embedded (max. 36/100/480 Mbits, depending on the type of board).
Each embedded USB port provides a maximum current of 500 mA (high power). When using a USB high
speed interface with 4 USB ports, 2 of the connectors provide a maximum of 500 mA (high power) and 2
connectors a maximum of 100 mA.
RJ45 (Interconnect)
Orion Xtenders models with CATx interconnects require a 1000BASE-T connection. Connector wiring must
comply with EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T), with RJ45 connectors at both ends. All four cable wire pairs are
used.
Fiber SFP Type LC (Interconnect)
Orion Xtender models with fiber interconnects operate through Gigabit SFPs, which have to be connected with
suitable fibers fitted with LC-type connectors. Correct function of the extenders can only be guaranteed when
the SFPs provided by Rose Electronics are used.
Note
:
SFP modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please follow ESD handling specifications.
