SAFETY
Operating Instructions
Operating your CrystalLink USB 2.0 Fiber extender is no different than
having your USB peripherals directly connected to your computer’s USB
port.
Any compatible USB 1.1 or 2.0 device can be totally controlled and operated
normally with no special configuration or commands. USB printers, digital
cameras, scanners, or any compatible USB 1.1 or 2.0 device will function
properly. If more than 1 USB device needs to be remotely accessed, you
can add a standard USB hub to increase the number of USB devices.
When using a USB hub, keep in mind that each USB port on the receiver
can supply up to 500ma of current. Connecting a 4-port USB hub to the
receiver port receives a max current of 500ma to the USB hub or 125ma per
hub port.
UP to 14 USB devices, including additional USB hubs can be connected to
the receiver unit. Powered USB hubs may be need if several high powered
USB devices are connected.
