INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the USB 2.0 LR Extender. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
The Gefen USB 2.0 LR Extender
Gefen’s USB 2.0 LR extends high-speed USB devices simply and reliably.
The compact USB 2.0 LR Sender/Receiver units install in minutes and fully
support all USB versions (V1.1 and V2.0), at speeds of up to 480 mbps
-- essential for high-performance applications such as digital imaging and
interactive gaming.
The two-port USB 2.0 LR hub is ideal for remotely accessing laser printers,
scanners, web cameras, external hard drives, CD/DVD burners, and fl ash
drives. Additional applications include security, industrial control, digital signage,
scientifi c data acquisition and much more due to the universal implementation of
USB standards.
How It Works
Gefen’s USB 2.0 LR supports all major operating systems -- Windows, MacOS
and Linux. No software drivers are required.
When using in-wall building wiring, stranded patch cables may be used to
connect the Sender and Receiver to CAT5 wall plates. The combined length of all
patch cables must not exceed 33 feet (10m) and must be included as part of the
total extension.
A powered USB hub may be connected to the USB 2.0 Extender LR Receiver
to allow more USB devices to be extended. A maximum of 14 USB devices
(including hubs) may be connected to the USB 2.0 LR Receiver.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Using the Led Indicators to Troubleshot Issues
Power LED
The power LED indicators should be active once the included 5V DC power supply

power cable is properly connected and locked to the sender/receiver unit.
Host LED
The host LED indicators should be active once a valid USB source/output device
has been properly connected to the sending/receiving unit. On the sender, the LED
indicator will only be active once the source device is on. A non-active LED may
indicate that the source device is not on or properly connected. On the receiver, the
LED indicator will only be active when a USB devices is properly connected and is
recognized by the source. A non-active LED may indicate that a USB device is not
properly connected or recognized by the source. Please check all USB cables and
install the proper drivers for the connected USB device.
Link LED
