USB OVERVIEW
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a connection technology that simplifies
communication between computers and their peripheral devices (mice,
keyboards, joysticks, printers, audio components, etc.). The computer is the
USB Host; it connects to the USB Devices via standard USB cables. A USB
Hub acts as a bridge between the USB Host and multiple USB peripherals. Bus-
powered hubs draw electrical current for their operation directly from the USB.
High-powered devices will not work with bus-powered hubs. A high-powered
device is one that can draw up to 500mA from the upstream connection. The
USB Console contains four self-powered hubs (one for each system). Therefore,
any USB device, high or low powered, can be attached to the USB Console.
MODELS
USB 4by4 Console:
Allows up to four USB devices to be accessed by up to four PC’s.
USB 2by2 Console:
Allows up to two USB devices to be accessed by up to two PC’s.

INTRODUCTION
Multiple PC’s can share USB peripherals, such as USB printers, USB scanners,
USB cameras, USB keyboards, etc. in various combinations. Access to each
USB device is selected by either manual push buttons on the USB Console or
via a Windows Application Program that displays the status and type of each
USB device attached. Any individual PC can control all connections.
Any PC can connect to any, or all devices, provided that another PC is not
currently using the device. Each PC sees the USB Console as a regular USB
hub to the PC, assuring USB compatibility and meeting all USB specifications.

The LED’s near the downstream port
connectors indicate if a device is attached to
that port. It also blinks when that device is
busy. Devices like mice, keyboards, and hubs
are always "busy" even when they are not in
use since they constantly communicate with the
PC.

These buttons are used to manually switch PC
control of the corresponding USB device. Press
once to determine which PC has control
(indicated by the Controlling PC LED) then
again, while the LED is still on, to select which
PC is to be given control. When the LED turns
off the change will occur.
This is a manual override. The switch will
occur even if a device is busy.

CHANGING CONNECTIONS MANUALLY
The Device LED Indicators by each port will be lit when the device attached to
that port is active. These LED’s will also blink when the device is
communicating to the PC.
To determine which PC is connected to a particular device press the button near
the device port. The PC LED Indicator of the PC that is connected to that device
will light.
To change which PC is connected to a device, press the button two consecutive
times within 1 second, of each other. The LED of the next available PC will
light. When the LED turns off, that PC will be connected to the device. If you
want a different PC to be connected to the device, repeat the same procedure
until the LED associated with the PC you desire is lit. Alternatively, you can
quickly press several times before the LED turns off to reach the desired PC.
When no buttons are hit within 1 second the USB Console time outs, and the PC
you selected is now connected to the device.
