Note from the “Tree” Configuration in the previous section that it is possible to connect more
than two USB Direct Connects to a host, however, only eight USB Direct Connects may be
connected per host.
Another restriction is the following: the hosts must NEVER be connected in such a way that any
two hosts in the network have more than one USB Direct Connect connecting them. Doing this
will form a “ring” which will crash the network. Figure 2 below illustrates what not to do.
Figure 2. How NOT to connect a USB Direct Connect

In this diagram the USB Direct Connect that connects the laptop back to the first computer will
cause the network to crash.

4. Belkin USB Direct Connect Installation

There are two stages to the installation of the USB Direct Connect. The first part installs the USB
Direct Connect drivers. The second stage is Network installation and setup.
The procedure below should be followed on all the computers that will be connected on the
network.

4.1.1. Installation of USB Driver for Win 98:

1. Insert the disk labeled “USB Direct Connect Installation Disk” into your floppy drive

(typically drive A:).

 2. Insert the flat (type A) connector into an available USB port on  your PC or USB hub

attached to  your PC.

 3. Insert the square connector (type B) into either of the two ports on the USB Direct

Connect device. You will see an “Add New Hardware” Wizard.
