INTRODUCTION

The USB-84A-BC "MegaCastPlus" ™ USB Keyboard or USB Mouse Broadcaster-Multicaster routes either one USB keyboard
or USB mouse simultaneously to up to ten PC's. The Broadcaster allows one hub between it and the input devices. The hub
may be external or built into the keyboard.
The Broadcaster also features user selected Inversion Multicasting , where PC#1 is excluded from multicasting. Multicasting
remains active for PC's 2 through 10.
The Broadcaster comes with the VIP-210 power supply.
Note: The "MegaCast" does not come with USB extension cables. One cable per PC is needed. They may be ordered
from Vetra separately.

INSTALLATION

Before connecting PC's to the Broadcaster-Multicaster, make sure the Broadcaster is powered by its Power Supply!
The PC's may be powered or not when you connect them to the Broadcaster-Multicaster.
Keyboard or mouse may be connected to the Broadcaster at any time.
Do not power down the Broadcaster while any PC is connected to the Broadcaster!
There are three main steps to make the Broadcaster-Multicaster ready for use:
1. Power Up:
First, connect the power supply included with the Broadcaster-Multicaster to the Power Jack, marked "+5VDC IN", on the
back panel of the Broadcaster. Note that the front panel "PWR ON" indicator on the Broadcaster is on. When powering up
or connecting the PC's, note that the appropriate "PC STATUS" indicator on the front panel comes on.
2. Connect PC's to Broadcaster unit:
Connect any available USB input on the PC's to the Broadcaster using USB A-B cables. Connect PC #1's USB port to the
back panel connector of the Broadcaster marked "PC1". Connect PC's #2 - #10 USB ports to the appropriate back panel
connectors of the Broadcaster marked "PC2" - "PC10". The Broadcaster-Multicaster will operate with less than all ten PC's
connected.
3. Connect Keyboard or Mouse to Broadcaster-Multicaster unit:
The USB keyboard or mouse is connected to the Broadcaster at the front panel marked "DEVICE IN". Note that to select
inversion multicasting, a keyboard is required. Therefore, if a mouse is used with the USB-84A-BC, inversion multicasting
cannot be selected.
