Connecting to an Expansion Hub

Expansion hubs are powered by their own external power supply. The practical number of
DT9812, DT9813, and/or DT9814 Series modules that you can connect to a single USB port
depends on the throughput you want to achieve.
To connect multiple modules to an expansion hub, do the following:

expansion hub.
2. Connect the power supply for the expansion hub to an external power supply.
3. Connect the expansion hub to the USB port on the host computer using another USB
cable.
The operating system automatically detects the USB device and starts the Found New Hardware
wizard.
