Installing the hardware
Power to the USB-1602HS-2AO is provided with the 10 watt AC power adapter (PS-5V2AEPS). The power
supply ships with a U.S. plug. Optional interchangeable plugs for international locations are available.
Connecting the external power supply
Connect the AC power adapter cord to the EXT. PWR connector on the device's rear panel, and plug the adapter
into an electrical outlet.
The POWER LED on the front panel turns on when the device is detected by the system.
Connect external power before connecting the USB cable to the computer
Connect the external power cable to the USB-1602HS-2AO before connecting the USB cable to the computer.
This allows the USB-1602HS-2AO to inform the host computer (when the USB cable is connected) that the
board requires minimal power from the computer’s USB port.
Connecting the USB-1602HS-2AO to your system
To connect the USB-1602HS-2AO to your system, turn the computer on, and connect a USB cable from the
USB connector on the rear panel to either a USB port on the computer or external USB hub connected to the
computer.
When you connect the USB-1602HS-2AO for the first time, a Found New Hardware message opens as the
device is detected. When the message closes, the installation is complete.
Configuring the USB-1602HS-2AO
All hardware configuration options on the USB-1602HS-2AO are software controlled with the exception of the
digital pull-up / pull-down (described below), which is set for pull-up by default. You can select some of the
