System Operation
No drivers are required for a host PC to function with the USB Extender Plus T/R. The
transmitter is detected by the operating system and appropriate USB drivers are loaded.
Certain USB peripherals, such as gaming keyboards, USB interactive whiteboards,
scanners, printers, and similar devices, require specific drivers installed on the PC. See the
USB device installation instructions or the website of the peripheral device manufacturer to
obtain drivers.
Once the transmitter, the receiver, the PC or USB host, and peripherals are connected, have
appropriate drivers loaded, and are powered up, the system is fully operational. If problems
are encountered, ensure all cables are routed and connected properly and the latest drivers
for each peripheral are installed.

Troubleshooting
USB signals are generally reliable but are susceptible to bad connections or cables that
are too long. The TP cable can have the same issues. To avoid the loss of data and
communications, follow these guidelines:
•
The USB cables that connect the transmitter to the host or the receiver hub ports to
peripheral devices should not exceed 6 feet (1.8 meters).
•
•
•
When connecting the host or peripherals, use only cable designed for USB signals.
Avoid or limit the use of adapters.
The USB Extender Plus works as described in point-to-point applications. Do not use
additional adapters, patch panels, or couplers with the host USB cables, hub USB
cables, or twisted pair cables. Additional links in the signal chain can result in the
reduction of signal integrity and overall system performance.
When properly connected and operating, the transmitter and receiver Power LEDs, Link
LEDs and Host LEDs are lit. The Hub LED for each connected peripheral recognized by the
host PC is also lit.
Front panel LEDs are also useful for troubleshooting. The following table outlines operating
details indicated by the LEDs.

Remote
Configuration
and Control
This section describes the connection through which the USB Extender Plus can be
configured and controlled remotely via Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands, and
describes the commands that are available. Topics include:
•
•
•
•
SIS Commands
The USB Extender Plus can be remotely set up and controlled via a host computer or
other device (such as a control system) that is attached to the front panel Config port (see
Connecting for Serial Communication on page 8 for information on connecting to this
port). You can issue SIS commands to the extender using your computer RS-232 interface
with a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer or HyperTerminal.
NOTE: The SIS command for resetting must be issued to both the transmitter and the
receiver. Do not reset one unit without resetting the other.
Host-to-Extender Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the USB Extender Plus determines
that a command that was entered is valid, it executes the command and sends a response
to the host device.
Most responses from the USB Extender Plus T/R to the host computer end with a carriage
return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A
string is one or more characters.
Extender-initiated Message
When power is applied to the extender, it sends the following copyright message:
Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics USB Extender Plus, Vn.nn
©
where Vn.nn is the firmware version number.
NOTE: This message is displayed only when power is applied to the extender while it is
connected to the computer via the Config port.

TP Cable Termination
NOTES:
• RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, CAT 6e, and CAT 7 cable
must comply with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standard for all
connections.
• The transmitter and receiver pair work with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cables; but to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance,
STP cables are required.
• Terminate both ends of the cable identically, in accordance with either the
TIA/EIA T 568A or the TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standard.
Figure 8 shows the recommended termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors.

Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of
these products in a rack:
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in
an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F,
+50 °C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets
adequate air flow for safe operation.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical
loading does not create a hazardous condition.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the
effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Consider the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
To find an appropriate rack mounting kit for your installation, go to the product page at
Furniture Mounting
