Connecting your MD400 to your PC

This section tells you about the different ways you can connect your MD400 to your PC.

•Direct connection

•Extension cable (provided)

•Via a powered hub

Note:

Your MD400 must be plugged into a USB port that is capable of supporting high power USB devices. The MD400 is a USB 2.0 product, however it should work in the majority of USB 1.1 ports with possible reduced throughput. Refer to USB 1.1 and 2.0 on page 12 for more information.

Direct connection

The MD400 can be plugged directly into a USB port as shown below. This configuration offers the best portability.

Note:

To avoid damage to the MD400 or your laptop’s USB port, remove the MD400 before placing your laptop into a carrying case.

Caution!

Some laptops have USB port positions that may conflict with operation. Use the included extension cable if:

•The USB ports are close together and the modem covers an adjacent port that is needed.

•The modem can not be plugged in directly, e.g., the USB port is recessed and the USB connector on the modem can not reach.
