HUB Operation
When the rst powered OutBack product plugs into the HUB:
• The HUB will go through a power up sequence that ashes all of its LEDs.
• The POWER LED will remain on any time that one or more powered OutBack products are
connected.
• After the MATE is connected it will start communicating with all connected devices.
• Each Port has an LED associated with it that is visible through the cover.
• Any device that is plugged in should have a ickering LED when the MATE is
communicating with it.
Note: In order to operate correctly, the HUB requires that the MATE be code version 2.0 or higher. (See
