The MD300 is plugged in using the supplied extension cable or directly in to a socket on the hub. The hub configuration allows extended cable length so you can locate the MD300 for optimal reception.

Note:

Some powered hubs may not provide adequate power. Your hub must be capable of supporting high power USB devices and must not be overloaded by the connection of too many such devices. Other high power devices include USB-powered disk drives, scanners and rechargeable music players. If you are experiencing problems, unplug these other devices to test if your hub is overloaded.

USB 1.1 and 2.0

Your MD300 is a USB 2.0 product, however it should work in the majority of USB 1.1 ports. In both cases, communication with the MD300 is USB High Speed, up to 12Mb/s, which is more than sufficient to handle the 3.6Mb/s HSDPA throughput.

As a guide, USB 1.1 ports are likely to be found in these cases:

•All PCs manufactured before 2002

•All PCs originally sold with Windows 2000 installed

•Current PCs where the USB port is provided only for use with keyboard and mouse.

USB 2.0 ports can be identified in the Device Manager. Select Start Control Panel System, Hardware Tab, Device Manager.

The presence of an Enhanced Host Controller indicates USB 2.0 support:
