System Operation; Troubleshooting; Specifications - Extron electronics UCS 601 User Manual

System Operation

No drivers are required for a host PC to function with the UCS 601 unit. The unit is detected by the operating system, and
appropriate USB drivers are loaded. Certain USB peripherals, such as gaming keyboards, USB interactive white boards, scanners,
printers, and similar devices, require specific drivers installed on the PC. To obtain drivers, see the USB device installation
instructions or the peripheral device manufacturer website.
The system is fully operational when the unit, PC or USB host, and peripherals are connected and powered. If problems are
encountered, ensure that all cables are routed and connected properly, and that the latest drivers for each peripheral are installed.

Troubleshooting

USB signals are generally reliable, but are susceptible to bad connections or signal loss from cables that are too long. To avoid
loss of data and communication, follow these guidelines:
•
The USB cables that connect the transmitter to the host, or the receiver to peripheral devices, should not exceed 6 feet
(1.8 meters).
• When connecting the host or peripherals, use only cables designed for USB signals.
• Avoid or limit the use of adapters.
The UCS 601 works as described in point‑to‑point applications. Do not use additional adapters, patch panels, or couplers with
USB cables or fiber optic cables. Additional links in the signal chain can result in reduction of signal integrity and overall system
performance.
When properly connected and operating, the Power LED, Devices LEDs, Input Power LED and Video Signal LED are lit. Front
panel LEDs are also useful for troubleshooting. The following table outlines the status indicated by each LED:
