User manual BELKIN F1U123

[. . . ] And, since it operates like a manual switch, no software is required or power adapter needed. Its advanced yet simple design offers full IEEE 1284 communication in all modes for any and all parallel port devices. Share your parallel-port Zip® Drive between two PCs, or use a Laser Printer and a scanner on the same parallel port. All you have to do is press a button. Package Contents (1) Bitronics DataSwitch: (1) 6 ft. [. . . ] Hence, an F2A047-06 is a 6 ft. 1. 8m cable. ·F2A047-XX ·F2A045-XX 3 Troubleshooting A Cables · Make sure you are NOT using file-transfer cables. Special cables used in DOS InterlinkTM, LapLink®, or Win95 Direct Cable Connection file-transfer cables are not wired "straight-through". In these cables, not all the pins are used, therefore they will not function at all. Belkin's F2A047-xx cables, such as the one included in this package, are recommended for 100% reliable operation. Make sure you are using high-quality IEEE 1284-compliant cables. Most new printers and parallel port devices demand the use of these cables mainly for signal integrity especially in high-speed data transfers. Lower quality cables do not feature the required double-shielded and twisted pairs, thereby increasing the chances of communication errors. The special construction of Belkin's IEEE 1284-compliant cables not only reduce interference and retain a high signal-to-noise ratio, but also provide a lifetime of superior performance. Data transferred through the parallel port is reliable with 1. 8m cables. If IEEE 1284-compliant cables are used, 3m cables may also be used. However, cables longer than 3m begin to degrade the signal, and signal loss is apparent by the much lower transmission speed and increased errors in the application. · · 4 Troubleshooting (continued) B. Application Errors · Check that the proper port is selected. To achieve a link between the PC and the device, the LED of the correct port must be illuminated. If the device does not properly respond when connected directly to the PC, the device may be damaged, not the F1U123 switch. Consult with the manufacturer's tech support for assistance. By rebooting, the operating system checks the ports for the presence of the device. Make sure the correct port is selected so that the drivers are loaded, and the device is fully operable. Not enough power is being supplied to the switch.
