Overview The UN-201 USB 2.0 Data-Link Cable represents an innovative breakthrough in peer group networking. Peer-to-peer is often the best choice in home or small office network configurations, since computers can share their resources and peripherals without the use of a dedicated server.
Features M Single cable USB 2.0 Peer networking - perfect for SOHO networks M Up to 480Mbps data transfer rates M Backward compatible to USB 1.1 M Share files and resources (printers, scanners, modems, CD-ROM drives, etc.
Driver Installation Before you begin the USB 2.0 Data-Link Cable installation, please note the following: M Do not plug the USB 2.0 Data-Link Cable into the computer before installing the driver. The driver must be installed first. M Before you can install the USB 2.0 Data-Link Cable driver, Client for Microsoft Networks must be installed on your system. To check if it has already been installed, open Windows Explorer > Control Panel > Network.
SuperLink Driver Installation The SuperLink driver provides PC-to-PC file transfers between two computers. To install the SuperLink driver: 1.

Double click the Setup.exe icon to start the driver installation program. 3. Choose USB SuperLink Adapter as the driver type to install, and click on Next.
Transferring Files The installation program puts a SuperLink icon on the desktop. To initiate a file transfer, Click the SuperLink icon on each computer. A window with two panels, similar to the one below, appears: The Local computer’s drives and directories appear in the top panel; the Remote computer’s appear in the bottom panel. You can use all the standard Windows file manipulation procedures, including drag and drop, to manage the files on both computers.
1. Basic Peer Networking: Basic peer networking allows the members of the Data-Link network to share resources among themselves. To set up your peer network, do the following: 1. Unzip the driver file archive located on the driver disk that came with this package into a temporary directory on your system. 2. Double click the Setup.exe icon. 3. Choose USB Virtual Network Adapter as the driver type to install, and click on Next.
5. When prompted, click on Finish to complete the installation. When the driver installation process has completed, the installation program directs you to reboot the computer. Remove the driver disk from the drive and restart Windows. 6. Repeat the above for each computer you want to install on the peer network. 7. Daisy chain the computers via their USB ports with the USB 2.0 Data-Link Cables. Setting up the Data-Link Network: To set up the Peer network, for each computer: 1.
Sharing Resources: To share resources, do the following: 1. Open Windows Explorer 2. Navigate to the drive, folder, file, or peripheral (printer, scanner, etc.), that you want to share; Right Click on it; select Sharing. 3.

2. Peer Networking plus Bridging to an Ethernet LAN: Bridge Ethernet LAN Peer Network Peer networking plus bridging to an Ethernet LAN gives the members of the Data-Link network access all the services made available to the Ethernet LAN - such as file and print, company Intranet, and Internet. For the Data-Link network to connect to a client/server Ethernet LAN, a Bridge computer between the Data-Link peer workgroup and the Ethernet LAN must be set up.
To set up the Bridge computer: 1. Power up the computer you have chosen to serve as the Bridge, and log onto the Ethernet LAN. 2. Install the Virtual Network driver as described under Basic Peer Networking (p. 6, above), except that if asked whether you want to install the Network Bridge, Click on Yes. Note: Depending on your Windows version, you may not be asked this, in which case the bridging takes place automatically. 3.
