Using the Hub with USB Devices

Using the USB 4-Port Hub with a USB device is easy -- after plugging in the device, just turn it on. Your Windows 95 (revision OSR2 and above), Windows 98, or MacOS computer should auto- matically detect it. USB technology specifically allows devices to be inserted or removed while your PC’s power is on -- it’s true plug-and-play!

Note: Your operating system must have USB sup- port in order for you to utilize the USB 4-Port Hub. For instance, some earlier versions of Windows 95 do not support USB. If you are not sure whether or not USB is supported by your operating system, consult the documentation that came with the operating system.

Bus Powered Indicates that the USB Hub is in operation and is drawing power from your PC.

Self Powered Indicates that the USB Hub’s AC power adapter is connected and is feeding power to the Hub and all devices connected to it. If the self powered LED is ON, the hub is not drawing power from your PC.

There are also 4 port-specific LEDs on the hub. Each LED will light up if the port below it is active and has a device attached to it.
