CONNECTING THE USB PORT REPLICATOR

The USB Mobile Port Replicator with Ethernet provides two USB ports, two

PS/2 ports, one RS232 serial port, one parallel port, and one RJ-45 Ethernet

port. This port replicator provides easy connectivity for network, serial, PS/2,

and other USB devices.

To get started, plug one end of the AC power adapter into the port replicator

and the other end into a wall outlet. Do not connect any devices at this time.

Once the port replicator is connected and the software installation is complete,

you can connect your devices and install any supporting software drivers.

Note: Your computer may be turned on or off when you connect the port

replicator.

Before you begin, make sure you can identify the ports on the port replicator

(Figures 1 and 2).

LED Status Indicators

Once you connect the port replicator to the computer and turn on the

computer, the LED lights display as follows:

vThe Hub Link and both USBs glow green.

vThe serial (RS232) and parallel ports glow green when devices are

attached.

vThe PS/2 port lights flash green when a device is first connected

or there is activity on the ports.

vThe Tx/Rx light flash green when data is transmitted to or from

the network.

vThe 100M light glows green when attached to a 100 Mb hub.

NOTE: The Ethernet port is compatible with 10 or 100 Mb networks,

however, the USB connection determines the actual network speed.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

This section explains how to install the drivers to support each port on the port

replicator. If your computer is off, turn it on now.

For the initial installation, you must install the software drivers for each port

insert the CD.

If you are running Windows 2000, you will only need the included Targus

driver diskette. Also, you will see the message Digital Signature Not Found

sequentially following the existing ports in your computer.

Note: The Targus USB Mobile Port Replicator with Ethernet supports hot

Plug N Play (connecting and disconnecting the network cable while the

computer is on and connected to a network) if the notebook is still

powered on when you disconnect the USB cable. When you reconnect the

cable, the notebook will be automatically reconnected to the network.

CONNECTING DEVICES TO THE PORT REPLICATOR

When connecting a new device to any port on the port replicator, the

corresponding software drivers must be installed. Consider the following

guidelines when preparing to connect new devices:

ŸIf your operating system is Windows 98, you will be prompted by

a series of screens beginning with Add New Hardware Wizard.

You may need your Windows 98 CD to complete the installation

of the neccessary device driver.

ŸIf your operating system is Windows 2000, the device driver will

install automatically.

ŸWith either operating system, you must run the Setup or Install

that was included with your device.

ŸTo load any device-specific software, assign the device to a port

as follows:

parallel printer PB1284-1 (USB port)

serial mouse or modem serial USB (COMx) where x is the

number of the COM port

PS/2 mouse or keyboard no port name required; the device

will be converted to emulate a USB

mouse or keyboard.

Installing a Serial Mouse

After connecting a standard serial mouse to the serial port on the port

replicator, press the Reset button until the Link LED flashes (about 5

seconds). Pressing the Reset button resets the serial port. Do this each time

you restart your notebook computer and whenever connecting a serial device.

Installing a Serial Modem

Follow your modem installation instructions to add this device to your port

replicator. When prompted to select the port, choose the Serial USB (COMx),

where x is the COM port number assigned by your operating system.

Installing a Parallel Printer - First-Time Installation

Follow the installation instructions that come with your printer. When

prompted to select a port, choose PB1284-1 (USB port). If this port does not

appear in the list, choose the LPT1 port, complete the manufacturer’s setup for

your printer, and follow the instructions below for Printer Reconfiguration.

Printer Reconfiguration

Follow these instructionsonly if you are reconfiguring your printer from the

LPT1 port to the port replicator’s parallel port. Unplug the printer cable from

your notebook, and plug it into the port replicator parallel port. Select Start,

Settings, Printers. Right-click the printer device you are reassigning, and

select Properties. In the Printer Properties window, selectDetails or

Connection for the Printer. (Section titles vary, so check your printer’s user

manual for specific instructions.) Change the setting toPB1284-1 (USB port)

to redirect printing to the port replicator.

Installing a PS/2 Mouse or Keyboard

Plug the PS/2 mouse or keyboard into a PS/2 port on the port replicator. Once

the device is connected, it will be detected automatically as a USB mouse or

keyboard.

Installing Additional USB Devices

To install any USB device, plug it into a USB port on the port replicator.

Follow the installation instructions provided with your USB device.

Connecting to a Network

The steps to follow to connect your computer to a network depends on the

type of network you are using. If in doubt, see your network system

administrator.

HOT PLUG N PLAY SPECIAL NOTES

Global Suspend the Notebook Computer

When your notebook computer is in suspend mode, the port replicator will

also enter suspend mode to avoid power consumption. When your notebook

computer wakes up, the port replicator wakes up automatically.

Using the Reset Button

The Reset button is used in conjunction with the serial port on the port

replicator. Whenever changing the serial devices connected to the serial port,

press and hold the Reset button until the Hub Link LED light blinks so that

the new device will be detected. Every time your notebook computer is

powered on, press and hold the Reset button until the Hub Link LED light

blinks (about 5 seconds).

PRODUCT LIMITATIONS

Your port replicator is splitting a single connection among a variety of devices

and connections. Because of this, some devices that need a large amount of

bandwidth will consume all of the available resources and can cause

performance issues with the other devices attached.

We recommend the following guidelines:

ŸDo not run multiple high speed devices at the same time, such as a

digital camera and scanner.

ŸIf speed degradation does occur, close one or more USB

applications to improve device performance.

ŸThere may be some temporary halting of some devices when a

high data transfer is occurring. For example, the USB or PS/2

mouse may respond slowly while a graphic print job is printing or

if you are experiencing heavy network traffic.

The parallel port is only compatible with printers and will only support

enhanced bi-directional printer features, such as your printer status.

An older mouse may not work with the port replicator because the driver

cannot find the serial port without a direct connection to the computer.

A PS/2 mouse attached to the port replicator is configured by the operating

system as a USB HID mouse. If the driver continues to look for the mouse on

the PS/2 port, enhanced features may not be available and your mouse will

function as a standard, two-button mouse.
