PIN-Association Procedure  
1

When you initially set up the Hub, you must “associate” it  
with the host computer. To do this, enter the PIN (product  
identification number) found on the bottom of the Hub into  
the Wireless USB Manager. This “PIN association” procedure  
is one of two supported methods to establish a secure  
wireless connection.  
1. Plug the power supply into the wall, and then plug the  
DC connector into the Hub.  
2. Open the Wireless USB Manager to set up the  
Hub’s security.  
3. Click on “New Connection”.  
4. Select “PIN Association” and click “Next”.  
5. Enter the PIN into the space provided. The PIN can be  
found on the bottom of the Hub.  
6. The Wireless USB Manager will automatically detect the  
Hub and provide customization options for the device  
name and method of detection.  
7. Click “Finish” to complete the setup and remove the  
USB cable.  
8. Verify that you have established a wireless connection  
through the Wireless USB Manager. You should have an  
icon for the Hub showing two arrows pointing to  
each other.  
9. Station the Wireless USB Hub in range and connect your  
devices to access them wirelessly.

When you initially set up the Hub, you must “associate”  
it with the host computer. To do this, connect the Hub to  
your computer using the provided USB cable. This “cable  
association” procedure is the second optional method of  
establishing a secure wireless connection.  
1. Plug the power supply into the wall, and then plug the  
DC connector into the Hub.  
2. Attach the Hub to your computer using a standard USB  
cable (mini-B to USB-A connector).  
3. Open the Wireless USB Manager to set up the  
Hub’s security.  
4. Click on “New Connection”.  
5. Select “Cable Association” and click “Next”.  
6. The Wireless USB Manager will automatically detect the  
Hub and provide customization options for the device  
name and method of detection.  
7. Click “Finish” to complete the setup.  
8. Verify that you have established a wireless connection  
through the Wireless USB Manager. You should have an  
icon for the Hub showing two arrows pointing to  
each other.  
9. Station the Wireless USB Hub in range and connect your  
devices to access them wirelessly.

When the association procedure is completed, the Hub  
by default automatically connects to the host computer  
whenever it is within operating range. If desired, you can  
select another method for how the Hub will wirelessly  
connect to your computer. This setup may be changed later.

Proper Orientation of Antennas

By design, Ultra-Wideband technology (UWB) radios  
transmit at very low power levels. To achieve peak  
performance, it is important to properly orient the antennas  
on the Hub and your laptop.  
As a general rule, the antennas should be positioned in  
a vertical orientation relative to the horizontal plane. As  
the antenna is integrated behind the laptop screen, we  
recommend maintaining the screen vertical for optimal  
wireless communication. Please see the illustration above  
for an explanation. We also recommend that you place the  
antennas in a direct line-of-sight orientation.

These three buttons within the Wireless USB Manager will  
provide diagnostics, options, customization, and help with  
your Wireless USB Hub. Clicking on the “Settings” button  
will allow you to add a new connection and more through  
the “Options” button.

Troubleshooting  
1. I have gone through the association procedure, but  
still cannot connect to the Hub.  
Check that the power supply is connected and that the blue  
LED on the Hub is lit.  
If you are sure there is power to the Hub, open the Wireless  
USB Manager. On the opening screen, your Hub should be  
one of the devices listed. If it is not, perform the cable- or  
PIN-association procedure again.  
If you see your device listed, make sure there are two green  
arrows pointing to each other over the device icon. If the  
software does not show a wireless connection, move your  
Hub closer to the computer to see if that fixes the problem.  
If neither of those steps work, try resetting your Hub by  
unplugging the power-supply connector from the back of  
the Hub, waiting a few moments, and then plugging it back  
in. Note: After doing this, you must repeat the security-  
association setup.

Maintenance  
2. I have a device installed but I still can’t seem to  
connect to it. What should I check before  
contacting Technical Support?

Have you completed the one-time PIN- or cable-association  
procedure? If so, please verify that the device you set up  
appears in the main screen of the Wireless USB Manager. If it  
does not, try the security-setup process again, following the  
instructions carefully. You will be prompted when the process  
has completed successfully. For cable-association, do not  
unplug the cable until you receive this message.  
Try moving the devices very close together to determine if  
a connection can be made. Once the connection has been  
made, begin moving them further apart to determine the  
maximum operating distance for your environment. Note that  
this distance could be reduced by large solid objects placed  
between the two devices, such as a wall or refrigerator. The  
best setup places the devices in a line-of-sight orientation.  
Check the blue LED status light on the Wireless USB Hub.  
When there is a good wireless connection, the blue LED  
flashes at a constant rate.  
Open the “Wireless USB Manager” application, select the  
“Options” button, and try changing to a different channel  
under the “Advanced Options” tab. Then, see if the devices  
will connect.  
If you used the cable-association procedure, verify that the  
host USB port on your computer works properly. Do this by  
connecting another USB device directly to it. If you are using  
any additional extension cables for association, please remove  
them and repeat the procedure.  
17  
 
Maintenance  
If possible, try the entire Hub installation process on  
another PC to determine if there is a problem with only  
the current system.

Verify the following by referring to your computer  
manufacturer’s support information:  
A) that your system has the latest drivers (available from  
the manufacturer) installed for the system’s chipset;  
B) that your system is using the latest BIOS (“basic  
input/output system”, software that controls basic  
computer functions).  
3. I have two hubs in my house. I can only get one at a  
time to run.  
You may have a situation in which both setups are trying  
to access the same channel. Open the Wireless USB  
Manager and click on “Settings > Options > Advanced  
Options”. By default, both should operate instantly in the  
same environment. If both hubs are set to the same channel,  
change one of them to a different channel. The channel  
range is 09–15.  
4. I keep getting the message, “No Channels Available”,  
when I try to use one of my hubs. What does  
that mean?  
If you have multiple hubs in the same environment, you  
may have reached the limit of available channels. Free up a  
channel by disconnecting Wireless USB communication on  
one of the configured setups.

Maintenance  
Support for USB Classes  
Audio devices (“USB Audio” class) and some webcams  
(“USB Video” class), which have isochronous end points, are  
not supported by the Hub.
