Introduction

For Ease of Use

To make duplication even easier, we’ve added a feature that lets you match

up the logical drives shown in the USB Duplication Suite software with the

actual physical port position of that drive. To take advantage of this function,

a “Port Training” needs to be performed to match each USB Port to your

Aleratec USB Duplicator. For example, you would likely designate the upper

port on the duplicator Port 1 and so on (see image).
