PS/2 Port To connect a PS/2 device, such as a mouse or keyboard, plug it into a PS/2 port on the port replicator and begin using the device. Serial Port Connecting and Configuring a Modem To connect a serial modem: 1 Attach the cable connector to the serial port on the port replicator. 2 Install the modem software driver according to the instructions that come with the device. 3 When prompted to select the port, choose the Serial USB (COMx), where x is the COM port number assigned by your operating system.
Parallel Port Connecting and Configuring a Printer for the First Time To connect a parallel printer: 1 Attach the cable connector to the parallel port on the port replicator. 2 Install the printer software driver according to the instructions that come with the device. 3 When prompted to select a port, choose PB1284-1 (USB port).

(Model PA095 only) Ethernet Port To connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, attach the cable connector to the Ethernet port on the port replicator.

USB Port To connect a USB device, plug it into a USB port on the port replicator and follow the additional instructions provided with the device.
Product Limitations General The port replicator splits a single connection among a variety of devices and connections. Some devices, which use large amounts of bandwidth, such as printers and digital cameras, can consume all available resources and may interfere with the performance of other devices. You may experience some temporary halting of some devices when a high data transfer is occurring.
However, the mouse will continue to work as a standard, two-button mouse and the keyboard as a standard keyboard. Troubleshooting Device Not Working • Make sure that the device is fully inserted into the correct port on the port replicator. • Plug the device into a different port on the port replicator. If it still doesn’t work, test the device by connecting it directly to your computer. • Verify that you ran the Setup or Install program for the device.
Sample Device Manager tab (Windows® XP operating system) From the Device Manager window, expand the following: • Human Interface Devices — displays PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Adapter when a PS/2 device is plugged in. • Network adapters — displays USB Ethernet 10/100 (Model PA095 only) • Ports (COM & LPT) — displays the Serial on USB [COM 2] port • Universal Serial Bus controllers — displays the other devices installed for the port replicator.
If the operating system does not detect automatically that your modem is assigned to Serial USB (COMx), rerun the Hardware Wizard and choose Select from a list instead of Autodetect. Then, select Serial USB (COMx) as the COM port.
