INTRODUCTION

En
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 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 2.0 devices. This may include such peripherals as scanners,
printers, mass storage devices, and high-resolution cameras. The Hub
is self-powered, 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.
