Installation

1 Connect the local unit to a computer using the built-in USB cable.

• U224-1R4-R – No LEDs illuminate at this point.
- U224-4R4-R – The Red LED on the local unit illuminates to indicate it is receiving power from the computer's USB port.

3 Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 ports on the local and remote units.

• U224-1R4-R – The Red LED on the remote unit illuminates to indicate it is connected to the local unit.
  • U224-4R4-R – No additional LEDs illuminate at this point.

4 (U224-4R4-R only) Connect the external power supply to the remote unit, and then plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Power Distribution Unit (PDU), or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

- U224-4R4-R – The Red LED on the remote unit illuminates to indicate it is receiving power from the external power supply.

Troubleshooting

If your USB Cat5 Extender/Hub is not working properly, try the following:

• Make sure that the unit is connected to the included AC Adapter and plugged into a working power source
• Ensure that the Cat5e/6 cable connecting the Local and Remote Units does not exceed 150 ft. (45m)
• Ensure that none of the USB cables being used to connect a device to the USB Cat5 Extender/Hub are longer than 16 ft. (5m)
• Ensure that the Cat5e/6 cable is working properly by connecting it between two devices you know work properly (e.g. connect a working computer to a live network and try accessing the internet). If the Cat5e/6 cable does not work in this environment, try using another Cat5e/6 cable.
• Ensure that the USB cable functions properly by connecting to a device that you know works properly (e.g. plug a USB printer directly into a computer). If this does not work, try using another USB cable.
• Ensure that the USB device you are plugging in works properly by connecting it to a working device using a USB cable that you know works (e.g. connect a USB printer to a working computer using a cable you know works). If this does not work, your USB device may not be working properly.
