Connect the USB Devices
1. Install any software on the host computer that is required to operate
the USB device(s). Refer to the USB device documentation for
installation instructions.
2. Using USB 2.0 cables (not supplied), connect the USB devices (USB 1.1
or 2.0 compatible) to the USB-EXT-2-REMOTE. Up to two USB devices
may be connected.
3. Confirm that each USB device is properly installed on the host
computer and that it is detected by the operating system.
NOTE:
The USB extender is engineered to deliver maximum
compatibility with the widest possible range of devices. Crestron does
not guarantee that all USB devices or hosts are compatible with the
USB extender.
Check the Installation
Check that the Activity, Host, Link, and Power LEDs light on both the
USB-EXT-2-LOCAL and the USB-EXT-2-REMOTE. If the Host or Link
LEDs do not light, then the cabling between the USB extenders may be
installed incorrectly or may be defective.
The following table describes the behavior of the LEDs on the front panel
of the USB extender.
