System Requirements for Setup
Hardware requirements
- You must have a USB controller in compliance with USB-IF standard and USB “A” receptacles in your PC or Mac systems.
- No special requirements for memory size, CPU speed, and chipsets, if you’ve already properly installed your USB controllers or cards. Most PCs are shipped to intrinsically embed in their own USB controller so that you don’t have to install any.
Software requirements
No special restrictions, if you’ve already properly installed your USB
controller in your Windows or Mac Systems.
Restriction of USB Hub Addition or Multiple Connection of M2-xx0 USB
Extension cables in a row to a USB device: Opticis does NOT guarantee using
any additional hub before/after M2-xx0 USB extension cables or such multiple
connections.
Installation
Important: Please use the installation procedure below. Failure in
operation may result if the start-up sequence is not correctly followed.
Precaution to install: NOT recommended to use multiple connections of
M2xx0 cables or additional hubs. Refer to 1-5 Troubleshooting for such
applications in inevitable case after confirming that each M2-xx0 cable works
based on the following steps.
Step 1
Carefully unpack the contents of the shipping group.
Step 2
Connect an AC/DC power adapter to the downstream module of M2-1×0.
Step 3
Plug the “A” plug-in of the upstream module of M2-xx0 into the USB “A”
receptacle of PCs. Note: If you do this step while opening the Windows system
manager, at the moment to the plugin, you can see getting the system manager
refreshed itself and it shows attaching a general USB hub under the USB
controller.
When you proceed with Step 3 in advance, you might find in a moment the system
manager recognizes it as an unknown device, but at last, recognize attaching a
general USB hub under the USB controller.
Step 4
Plug the “A” plug-in or “B” receptacle of your USB device into the “A”
receptacle or “B” plug-in of the downstream module of M2-1×0. Then you can
find attaching your device drive controller in the Windows system manager.
IMPORTANT NOTE: when installing M2-xx0 cables, ensure not to bend them over the minimum bend radius and pull them over the tensile load as instructed in 1-6 Product Specifications. When operating, ensure not to put any sharp edge corner on the cables.
Troubleshooting
The generic USB hub under the USB controller cannot be seen in Windows
System Manager.
If you cannot see it even after having installed as instructed in 1-3
Installation,try to de-plug and re-plug the A plug-in of the upstream module
of M2-xx0, while the power is being supplied to its downstream module. Or, de-
plug and re-plug the power plug-in of AC/DC power adapter from/to its
downstream module.
If proceeding not to see it, reboot the PC and re-install as instructed in 1-3
Installation.
Your USB device connected to an M2-xx0 cable does not work properly.
Check first if the generic USB hub is attached in Windows System Manager. If
not, follow the above instruction after disconnecting your USB device. Not
working yet even though succeeding attaching the hub, check if the device
driver is installed in the Windows System Manager. If NOT, go to the website
of the manufacturer of your USB device to download its proper device driver
and reinstall it. Or, contact the manufacturer.
Want to use multiple connections in a row or USB hub additions.
Opticis could guide, based on its evaluation results, that many USB devices
would be allowed to use one (1) USB hub with M2-xx0 cables less than roughly
100 feet (40m) extension. It certainly depends on which USB devices and hubs
are used. The multiple connections do not exceed roughly 130 feet (40m) long.
When doing this, we strongly suggest checking the USB controller in Windows
System Manager for every connection of a hub or an M2-xx0 cable.
Maintenance
No special maintenance is required for the optical USB extension cables and
power supplies. Ensure that the cables and power modules are stored or used in
a benign environment free from liquid or dirt contamination.
There are no user-serviceable parts. Refer all service and repair issues to
Opticis.
