Overview
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged
in response to the proliferation of external peripheral
devices (scanners, digital cameras, removable drives,
etc.), that are increasingly being connected to the latest
generation of computers. The USB behaves in a similar
fashion to conventional bus ports (i.e., serial, parallel,
PS/2), but since it does not require any IRQs, more
devices can be attached to the system, and the problem
of IRQ conflict is eliminated.
Since many older computers don’t have USB connectors
on board and most new computers come with only one or
two USB ports, USB hubs have been developed to
provide a means to connect up all the USB peripherals
that users may want to use.
The UH-9124 is a four port USB hub that serves as a
cable concentrator and bridge between the computer’s
USB Host Controller, and USB peripheral devices
attached to the system.
The UH-9124 provides four Downstream ports for USB
devices to plug into, with LED indicators to display
information about power status and overcurrent detection
for each port. It supports both full speed (12 Mbps) and
low speed (1.5 Mbps) devices, such as keyboards, mice,
joysticks, etc., and can be daisy chained to provide as
many ports as the user requires.
System Requirements
1. A USB Host Controller installed on the computer
2. Any OS that supports the USB. For example:
M Windows 98; Windows 2000
M Mac OS 8.6 and higher
M OS/2 Warp (with USB driver installed)
Features
M Mac and Windows USB Specification Compatible
M Hot Pluggable (USB Devices Can Be Plugged and
Removed Witout Having to Reset the System)
M Four Downstream Ports with Per Port Overcurrent
Detection and Protection
M Per Port Bus Status LED Indicators
M Bus/Self Powered

1. Power LED
Lights when the unit is receiving power from the power
adapter.
2. Port LEDs (1-4)
M A Port LED lights when the downstream peripheral
device connected to its corresponding port is receiv-
ing power at the correct current level.
M If an overcurrent condition between the unit and the
downstream device occurs, the LED turns AMBER.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
M
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
M Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver;
M Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that which the receiver is connected;
M Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/televi-
sion technician for help.
