4. MAKING USE OF USB
(Universal Serial Bus)
This monitor provides a hub which supports the USB standard. When connecting to
a USB compliant PC or another hub, the monitor functions as a hub to which the USB
compliant peripherals can be easily connected.
As an added advantage, the monitor can be controlled from a PC with a mouse or
keyboard when utilizing the enclosed utility software “ScreenManager Pro for USB”.
Required system environment
• PC equipped with USB ports or another USB hub connected to the USB compliant
PC
• Windows 98/Me/2000 // Mac OS 8.5.1 or later
• USB cable
• The USB hub function may not work properly depending on the PC, OS or
peripherals. Please consult the manufacturer of each device about the USB
support.
• When the monitor is not on, the peripherals connected to the downstream ports
will not operate.
• Even if the monitor is in a power saving mode, the devices connected to the
monitor’s USB ports (both the upstream and the downstream) will function.
Connecting to the USB HUB (Setting up the USB function)

finishing the USB function.
• The followings are procedures for the Windows 98/Me/2000 and Mac OS.
1. Connect the monitor to the PC with the signal cable (See page 10) first, then
turn on the PC.
2. Connect the upstream port of the monitor to the downstream port of the USB
compliant PC or another hub by using the USB cable .
After connecting the USB cable, the USB function can be set up automatically.
