Operation of the ACTIVslate with ACTIVhub
The ACTIVhub receives data from the ACTIVslate and communicates with your
PC. The pattern of lights on the hub illuminate to indicate certain functions:
When you plug the ACTIVhub into the USB connector on your PC, the six
Function Indicator LEDs will spin around the hub whilst communication with the
driver is being established. When the driver has been detected, the orange LEDs
stop spinning and the central globe LED illuminates white. This LED provides a
constant white illumination to indicate normal operation and flashes during the
registration process. The top right LED flashes green when ACTIVslate data is
received. The top left LED flashes red to indicate that the ACTIVhub is
transmitting data.
Note: If the orange lights around the hub continue to spin, your computer might
have defaulted to the wrong driver. Refer to the document Resolving USB
ACTIVboard Driver Problems.pdf, which is included on your product CD.
Ensure you follow the procedure relating to the version of Windows™ you
are running on your PC.
When you have connected the ACTIVhub, place it in an elevated position. The
path between the ACTIVhub and ACTIVslate should be unobstructed and no
more than 10 meters, for optimum performance.
