ATEN UF-220 User Manual

After the drivers for the first interface ports are installed, you go through the procedure a second time to install the drivers for the second interface ports. Simply repeat the steps described above.

To check that the adapter was correctly installed, navigate down through the following folders: My Computer → Control Panel → System; Select the Device Manager tab; Click the Plus Sign in front of Universal serial bus controller. If the adapter was installed correctly, the following entries should appear:

M Under Universal serial bus controller:

NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller

USB 2.0 PCI to USB Enhanced Hub Device

USB Root Hub

USB 2.0 Root Hub Device

M Under IEEE 1394 bus host controllers:

VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller

Note: Depending on the Windows version, there may be some slight variation in the wording.

Connecting Peripherals

USB Peripherals:

1.Plug the B connector end of the peripheral’s USB cable into its USB port.

2.Plug the A end of the cable into any available USB port on the UF-220.

Note: If you install a USB 1.1 peripheral, the entry for its driver on the Device Manager page will show an exclamation point in front of it. This is only because the peripheral isn’t 2.0.

There isn’t a problem, and the entry can be disregarded.

IEEE 1394 (FireWire) Peripherals:

1.Plug either end of the peripheral’s IEEE 1394 cable into its IEEE 1394 port.

2.Plug the other end of the cable into any available IEEE 1394 port on the UF-220.

Troubleshooting

Note: If you are experiencing problems, first make sure that there are no problems with the cables, and that they are all properly connected.

Overview

The UF-220 is a PCI card implementation that brings the two new industry standards for peripheral data transfer to older PCI computers. It provides two external and one internal USB 2.0 ports, as well as two external and on internal IEEE 1394 (FireWire) ports, and has the intelligence to handle devices for both bus types simultaneously.

By combining both USB and IEEE 1394 in a single unit, you can have the best of both worlds. For example, you can capture and edit the output from a DVD camera connected to a FireWire port at the same time as you work with a keyboard, mouse, printer, or disk drive connected to your USB ports.

The internal ports are provided specifically for connecting internal devices, such as removable media drives, CD-ROM, DVD, and hard disk drives, etc. For both USB 2.0 and FireWire, the UF-220 supplies power from the PCI bus if a connected device doesn’t have its own source of power.

With all six ports always active, the UF-220 is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the benefits of the latest bus technologies regardless of what bus-type peripheral he wants to connect.

Installation

Installing the Card

Install the UF-220 in the computer’s expansion card area in the same way you would install any other expansion card. See your computer’s User Manual for details, if necessary.

Windows Driver Installation

Windows XP:

Windows XP has native USB driver support. If USB 2.0 drivers aren’t already installed in your computer, get them by clicking the Start button, and then selecting Windows Update.

Systems prior to XP:

1.When Windows boots up it detects the UF-220’s presence and the New Hardware Wizard appears; Click Cancel to close the New Hardware Wizard.

2.Insert the driver disk that came with your product into your CD drive and wait for autorun to display its contents.

3.Open the folder for USB 2.0 Host Controller Driver (NEC); open the folder for the UF-220; open the folder for your version of Windows.

4.Double Click the driver icon. The drivers are now copied to your system.

5.After the drivers have been copied to your hard disk, a dialog box appears confirming that the installation has finished. Click Finish to reboot your computer and complete the installation.
