These Edgeports operate as bus-powered hubs. For more information about hubs, see the section “Understanding Hubs” on page 18. To connect your Edgeport, plug the USB cable (with the Type A plug) into a USB port located on your PC or into an available USB port on a standard hub or into a Digi Hubport.
