Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin USB Plus Hub. The Hub provides seven downstream USB ports that offer backward-compatible, Plug-and-Play connectivity with all USB devices, including USB 1.1 (or low- and full-speed) devices, as well as with USB 2.0 (or high-speed) devices. This includes such peripherals as scanners, printers, mass-storage devices, and high-resolution cameras. The Hub is self-powered, which allows you to cascade devices with additional hubs, so that up to 127 USB devices may be connected to a single port.

The Hub lets you connect your peripherals through the back or top ports. Reserve the top ports for flash drives and MP3 players while using the back ports for stationary devices. The cable-management feature lets you easily remember which cables correspond to each device. The Hub also provides a status LED for each individual port and a master power LED.

Installation

Important Note: Please do not connect any USB devices to the Hub until instructed to do so in step 4 of this installation procedure.

1.Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or surge protector. Plug the DC connector into the DC power jack found on the rear of the Hub.

2.Plug the flat end of the provided USB device cable into the downstream port of your computer, or downstream port of another hub, then plug the mini-USB connector on the device cable into the upstream port on the rear of the Hub.

Installation

Important Note: The Hub must be connected to a USB 2.0-compliant host in order to function in high-speed mode (480Mbps data rate). If the Hub is connected to

a USB 1.1-compliant host, it will operate only in low-speed or full-speed mode (1.5Mbps/12Mbps).

3.Windows will now detect your Hub and install the required driver support. (The Windows ???Install New Hardware Wizard??? may prompt you to provide your Windows Installation CD to complete the driver installation process.)

Important Note: High-speed hub drivers are included with most USB 2.0 PCI upgrade cards, and are preinstalled along with the PCI card drivers. If you purchased an upgrade card prior to the release of high-speed hub support, please check

with your PCI card vendor for an updated USB 2.0 driver. The Belkin USB 2.0 driver supports all competitive cards based on the NEC host controller with the exception of Adaptec.

4.Plug the USB A connector of the USB device, or an additional hub, into any of the downstream ports of the Hub.

Important Note: When moving a device from one port on the Hub to another, it may be necessary to reinstall the USB drivers for that device.
