Connecting two direct connect hub systems

If your system includes two Direct Connect Hub units, connect them together as follows:

Do this

Notes

1Connect the USB cable (E6473-60005) to the (USB Downstream) port on the front panel of the Direct Connect

Hub connected to the computer.

(USB Downstream) port on the front panel of any available USB Downstream. Otherwise, plug the DB25 key into the parallel port of the computer

Direct connect hub connections

To prevent damage to the direct connect hub or phone, always power the direct connect hub off before connecting or disconnecting a phone.

Verifying E6473B hub installation

To verify driver installation and that your PC can see the E6473B hub you should use the configuration utility and device manager to confirm port identification.

Once the E6473B hub drivers have been installed, a COM port utility is added to your PC. With this utility you can see what COM ports have been assigned to which part of the hub and lets you change COM port labelling.
