Rx Usb Devices; Rx Aux Port - ADDER AdderLink Infinity ALIF2000 User Manual

RX USB devices

The ALIF RX unit has four USB
ports to which peripherals may
be connected. The ports are
interchangeable. To connect
more than four peripherals, one
or more USB hubs may be used.
The total current that may be
drawn from the USB ports is
1.2A, which should be sufficient
for a keyboard, mouse (no more than 100mA each) and any two other devices
(500mA maximum each). If more power for USB devices is required, use a
powered USB hub.
To connect a USB device
1 Connect the lead from the device to
any of the four USB sockets on the rear
panel of the ALIF unit.
Supported USB Devices
USB devices are supported using True Emulation technology. This means that
the signals of each USB peripheral are emulated to the computer so that full
functionality is available, subject to the following limitations:
• Keyboards, mice and other HID devices are supported.
• Storage devices (i.e. flash drives, USB hard disks, CD-ROM drives) are
supported, but they may operate more slowly than with a direct connection.
• Isochronous devices (including microphones, speakers, webcams and TV
receivers) are not currently supported.
• Many other devices (such as printers, scanners, serial adapters and specialist
USB devices) will work, but due to the huge variety of devices available,
successful operation cannot be guaranteed.

of 115200. The port has software
flow control, but no hardware
flow control.
To connect the AUX port
1 Ensure that power is removed from the ALIF unit.

between the AUX port on the right hand side of the ALIF rear panel and
