3.2.9 USB Devices
ServSwitch Agility and Agility Dual remote receiver units have four USB ports to which peripherals may be connected. The ports
are interchangeable. To connect more than four peripherals, one or more USB hubs may be used. The total current that may be
drawn from the USB ports is 1.2A, which should be sufficient for a keyboard, mouse (no more than 100mA each) and any two
other devices (500mA maximum each). If more power for USB devices is required, use a powered USB hub.
1 Connect the lead from the device to any of the four USB sockets on the rear panel of the ServSwitch Agility unit. See
Figure 3-21.

the computer so that full functionality is available, subject to the following limitations:
•Keyboards,miceandotherHIDdevicesaresupported.
•Storagedevices(i.e.flashdrives,USBharddisks,CD-ROMdrives)aresupported,buttheymayoperatemoreslowlythanwith
a direct connection.

•Manyotherdevices(suchasprinters,scanners,serialadaptersandspecialistUSBdevices)willwork,butduetothehugevariety
of devices available, successful operation cannot be guaranteed.
