LIGHTWARE USB20-1GBE-DS4 HDMI Distribution Amplifier

Product Information

The USB20-1GBE-DS4 and USB20-1GBE-HS10 are USB 2.0 extenders that allow you to extend USB devices using CAT5e/6/7 cables up to 100 meters. They support LAN and direct cable connectivity and offer transparent USB extension with a throughput of up to 480 Mbps. The USB20-1GBE-DS4 features four USB A-Type connectors for connecting USB devices. Each USB-A port can supply up to 1A of power to connected devices, with a maximum total power output of 3A across all four ports. It also has a DC power connector for powering the device, a service port for service purposes, and an RJ45 connector for Ethernet connection. The USB20-1GBE-HS10 has a USB B-Type port for connection to the host device, a service port for service purposes, and an RJ45 connector for Ethernet connection. The devices have status LEDs that indicate power, link status, enumeration, and activity. The RJ45 connector also has LEDs that indicate the speed and activity of the Ethernet connection.

Product Usage Instructions

Powering Options
The USB20-1GBE-DS4 device is supplied with a 24V DC adaptor with interchangeable plugs. This adaptor is used to power the USB20-1GBE-DS4 device. On the other hand, the USB20-1GBE-HS10 device is powered over the USB connection to the host device.

Pairing the Devices
Pairing between the USB20-1GBE-DS4 and USB20-1GBE-HS10 devices is done manually using the MAC address of the devices. Follow these steps to pair the devices:

1. Use a long, thin object (e.g., a paper clip) to press the Pairing button of one of the devices once shortly. This will cause the Link LED to flash quickly.
2. Press the Pairing button on the other device in the same way. The Link LED of both devices will light continuously, and the MAC address of the USB20-1GBE-DS4 device is added to the list of paired devices in the USB20-1GBE-HS10 device, and vice versa.
3. Repeat the procedure for each USB20-1GBE-DS4 device in the system. Up to seven USB20-1GBE-DS4 devices can be paired with a single USB20-1GBE-HS10 device at once.

Note: The pairing procedure has a time limit of 10 minutes. If the pairing does not occur within this timeframe, the procedure must be restarted.

Important Safety Instructions

Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product and keep it available for future reference.

Introduction
The USB20 Extender series can be used to build a system to transmit USB signals across greater distances than what is generally allowed by a USB cable, taking advantage of the data transmission capabilities of CATx cables and network switches. By using switches, transmission distances of up to 100 meters can be reached. This makes it possible to place USB devices (such as microphone, web camera, keyboard and mouse, mass storage etc.) far away from the Host device while still having full usage of them.

Highlighted features

• USB 2.0 extension using CAT5e/6/7 cables up to 100 meters
• LAN and direct cable connectivity supported
• Dynamic pairing to compatible host side extenders

The adaptor is only supplied with the USB20-1GBE-DS4 device.

Cable Extension Information
The maximum cable length between the extenders or a switch and an extender is 100m. This means that by equipping a switch between the extenders, a maximum of 200m destance can be reached. If more switches are added between the extenders, each can lengthen the distance by 100m.
Either CAT5, CAT6 or CAT7 cables can be used.
If the extenders are placed in an environment where the ESD level can be higher than average, it is recommended using shielded CAT cables for undisturbed signal transmission.

Powering Options
Only the USB20-1GBE-DS4 device is supplied with a power adaptor. USB-1GBE-HS10 is powered over the USB connection to the Host device.

Pairing the Devices
Pairing happens using the MAC address of the devices. It does not happen automatically, it must be done manually. The process is the following:

1. Use a long, thin object (e.g. a paper clip) to press the Pairing button of one of the devices once shortly. This will cause the Link LED to flash quickly.
2. Press the Pairing button on the other device in the same way. The Link LED of both devices will light continuously, and the MAC address of the DS4 device is added to the list of paired devices in the HS10 device and vice versa.
3. Repeat the procedure for each DS4 device in the system. Up to seven DS4 devices can be paired with a single HS10 device at once.

The pairing procedure has a time limit of 10 minutes. If the pairing does not occur in this timeframe, the procedure must be restarted.

If the devices are paired, but there is no network connection, the Link LED will blink slowly.

Deleting a paired device
You can delete paired devices from the memory by pressing the Pairing button for more than 10 seconds. Please keep in mind that this will only delete the pairing list in the current device. To completely remove the pairing on both devices, this procedure must be done on both of them.

Setting a Dynamic IP address (DHCP)
You can set DHCP by pressing the Pairing button for the first 5 seconds of the device turning on. DHCP gets enabled and the device restarts.
