Connection Guidelines
The USB Extender Plus T/R can be installed in existing and new systems within the
following guidelines:
• USB extenders cannot be cascaded (you cannot sequentially connect
a USB Extender Plus T/R to another USB Extender Plus T/R or to a
FOX T/R USB Extender Plus).
• The maximum number of USB hubs that can be connected downstream is four, when
peripheral emulation is disabled, and three when it is enabled.
• The USB Extender Plus T/R is able to support a maximum of 31 downstream USB
devices (including hubs). For example, if two 4-port USB hubs are connected to a
receiver, that totals ten devices (two hub connections plus the eight hub ports).
