FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement Warning
The USB Link II has been tested and found compliant with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when installed and operated in a commercial environment. The USB
Link II generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with this user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of the USB Link II in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
CE Statement
We, Magenta Research, declare under our sole responsibility that the USB Link II, to which this
declaration relates, is in conformity with European Standard EN 55022/A1 Class A, and
EN 50082-1 (IEC 801-2, IEC 801-3, IEC 801-4)
SAFETY WARNING
Installation • This equipment is to be installed in a restricted access location.
Connection • Not for direct connection to Telecommunication Network Circuitry (TNV)
Power sources • This equipment should be operated only from the power source indicated on
the product. This equipment is intended to be used with a main power system with a grounded
(neutral) conductor. The third (grounding) pin is a safety feature, do not attempt to bypass or
disable it. This equipment can be powered from redundant power sources. Disconnect all power
sources before servicing.
Power disconnection • To remove power from the equipment safely, remove all power cords
from the rear of the equipment, or from the power source receptacle (wall plug).
Power cord protection • Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped
on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
Servicing • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. To prevent the risk of shock, do not attempt to service this equipment yourself because
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Slots and openings • If the equipment has slots or holes in the enclosure, these are provided to
prevent overheating of sensitive components inside. These openings must never be blocked by
other objects.

Network Cabling
The transmitter and receiver units are interconnected by up to 150 meters of
Category 5/6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. The UTP cabling must
have a straight-through conductor configuration, with no crossovers, and must
be terminated with T568B specified RJ45 connectors at both ends.
NOTE:Category 5/6 UTP cabling is the standard data
communications cable installed in most commercial and
some residential buildings.
USB Cables
USB cables have two distinct connectors. The Type A connector is used to
connect the cable from a USB device to the Type A port on a computer or
hub. The Type B connector is used to attach the USB cable to a USB device.

Power Handling
Some USB devices are powered directly from the USB and do not require
individual power supplies. These devices are called bus-powered devices.
The USB Link II can provide power to these devices so they can be operated
remotely.
Bus-powered devices are further divided into low-power and high-power cate-
gories. Low-power devices are allowed to draw up to 100 mA from the USB.
Typical examples include mice, joysticks, and keyboards without hubs. High-
power devices are allowed to draw up to 550 mA from the USB. Typical ex-
amples include cameras and keyboards with hubs. To determine if a device is
high-power or low-power, consult the user documentation for the device.
NOTE: Devices with their own power source are usually considered to be
low-power devices from a USB perspective.
Compatibility
The USB Link II complies with USB 2.0 and 1.1 specifications governing the
design of full speed USB devices. However Magenta Research does not
guarantee that all full speed USB devices are compatible with the USB Link II.
