INTRODUCTION

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed
USB Pocket Hub (the Hub). The Hub provides three downstream USB
ports that are compatible with both USB 1.1 (low-speed and full-speed)
devices, as well as with USB 2.0 (high-speed) devices.

This means that the Hub is backward-compatible with all of your
current USB 1.1 devices as well as the new generation of Hi-Speed
USB devices. This may include such peripherals as scanners, printers,
mass storage devices, and high-resolution cameras. The Hub is self­powered, which allows the cascading of devices with additional hubs,
so that up to 127 USB devices can be connected to a single port. The
Hub also provides a multicolored status LED for each individual port,
and a master power LED. For additional information, refer to the
Technical Specifications section.

INSTALLATION

1. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or surge suppressor.

Plug the DC connector into the DC power jack found on the
side of the Hub.

Note: The Hub may be used without the power supply when
connecting low-power devices such as keyboards and mice.
Remove the USB A cable connector from its built-in storage
bay, then plug it into the downstream port of your computer, or
downstream port of another hub (see Fig. 1).

Important Note: The Hub must be connected to a USB

2.0-compliant host in order to function in high-speed mode

(480Mbps data rate). If the Hub is connected to a USB

1.1-compliant host, it will operate only in low-speed or

full-speed mode (1.5Mbps/12Mbps).

2. Your Windows operating system will now detect your

Hub and install the required driver support. (The Windows

INSTALLATION

“Install New Hardware Wizard” may prompt you to
provide your Windows Installation CD to complete the
driver installation process).

Important Note: Hi-Speed USB hub drivers are included
with most USB 2.0 PCI upgrade cards, and are pre-installed
along with the PCI card drivers. If you purchased an
upgrade card prior to the release of Hi-Speed USB hub
support, please check with your PCI card vendor for an
updated USB 2.0 driver. The Belkin Hi-Speed USB driver
supports all competitive cards based on the NEC host
controller with the exception of Adaptec. The most recent
Belkin driver is available at www.belkin.com.

3. Plug the USB A connector of the USB device, or an

additional hub, into any of the downstream ports of
the Hub (see Fig. 2).

Important Note: When plugging a USB device into the
Hub for the first time, it may be necessary to reinstall the
USB drivers for that device. Likewise, if you move the
device to another port on the Hub, it may be necessary to
reinstall the drivers.
