Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Powered USB High Speed Hub, which is
designed to enable users accessing USB devices without additional external
power supply connection. SUNIX 4-Port Powered USB 2.0 High Speed Hub
provides a simple and affordable way to add up to four 2.0 compliant
Powered USB ports to your PC. With this plug and play upgrade, it is easy to
connect POS peripherals which require more than the normal power provided
by a standard USB connection, thus eliminating the need for cumbersome
power supply bricks. In addition, SUNIX Powered USB Hub is backward
compatible to regular USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Overview

USB allows peripheral devices to exchange data with a PC and also to receive
power over the USB bus. Unfortunately, the bus supplied power is limit to 2.5
Watts (0.5A @ +5V) per port, sufficient to provide enough power to input
devices, web cameras among other low power devices. Other devices like
printer, displays, pin pads, external CD-ROM and hard drives still require an
external power supply. Here comes Powered USB, it eliminates the need for
additional power supplies. Powered USB provides the necessary power as
well as the communication signals over a hot pluggable cable. In addition, the
Powered USB solves the physical host side cable locking problem associated
with the standard USB connector by providing a host cable locking
mechanism.

SUNIX Powered USB High Speed Hub provides a convenient and affordable
way to add up to 4 Powered USB 2.0 ports on your PC. Devices which require
more power than provided by the regular USB interface can be easily installed
and used with no need for an additional power supply. SUNIX PUB1300H
Powered USB Hub provides both +12V and +24VDC through the power
adapter directly to its 4 Powered USB ports. Besides it is also backward
compatible to regular USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices.

POS systems become more and more stylish now days, with limited space for
the terminal and all peripherals inside. Safe your valuable space and get rid of
the peripherals’ power supplies using the Powered USB Hub. This product is
the ideal solution for today’s point of service systems.

steps:

1. Check that all cables are correct and securely connected.

2. Make sure the devices are turned on.

3. Make sure the devices are getting the power they require.

4. Make sure there is no problem with the Hub installation.

5. Please confirm Link and ACT LED action. If the Link LED light and ACT

LED is off, it means your USB device is not working.

2. Computer failed to start after inserting the Powered USB Hub.

Turn off the computer, remove the Powered USB Hub, and try to restart the
computer. If the computer starts successfully, it means that the Hub has not
been inserted into the USB host port correctly. Please insert the Hub firmly
into another USB port.

3. The USB cable has been extended and the device no longer works.

The length of the USB cable must not exceed 3.5 meters. Please do not
extend the cable or a USB repeater must be used if the cable is longer
than 3.5 meters.

4. Is it possible to connect current USB 1.1 devices to the Powered USB

Hub?

Yes. The device will not, however, obtain the USB 2.0 high speed (480
Mbits/sec) but the USB 1.1 full speed (12 Mbits/sec) communication.

5. I can NOT get USB2.0 High Speed? Is there any driver update?

Powered USB Hub built-in USB2.0 high speed controller, and it runs USB2.0
high speed data communication when user connects this Hub to USB2.0 host
port from computer. In addition, it is back compatible with USB1.1 full speed
commuication when connecting USB1.1 host port.

 Please upgrade your computer USB interface to USB2.0 high speed

specification.

 If your computer already built-in USB2.0 interface port, but it still can not

run USB2.0 high speed commuication. Please upgread your operation
system service pack to the latest one, because USB2.0 driver bounds
with Microsoft Windows system. We suggest updating your operation
system to Windows 2000 service pack 4, Windows XP service pack 2,

power adapter. We provides standard 24V/2A and 12V/4A power adapter in
the packing. If you need higer power current output to your Powered USB
device, you should change another sufficient power adapter.

Pay attention that in order to prevent over current problem, each Powered
USB port built-in PTC fuse. +24VDC powered USB channel built in 3A PTC
fuse, and each +12VDC powered USB channel built in 1.55A PTC fuse. If
your powered USB device draws higher current than fuse specification, the
PTC will turn off the power for each individual port if an unusual overload is
sustained.

If our current model or power specification can not satisfy your request,
please contact us for the detail service.

7. There is no +24, or +12 VDC power output to Powered USB device.
