9XTend‐PKG‐U™ USB RF Modem – Product Manual v2.x4x [2007.01.04]
2. RF Modem Operation
2.1. Driver Installations
WARNING: When operating at 1 Watt power output, observe a minimum separation distance of 2' (0.6m) between
modems. Transmitting in close proximity of other modems can damage modem front ends.
2.1.1. USB Background Information
To interface through the USB port of a PC, OS-specific drivers must be installed. The PKG-U RF
Modem is a "plug-and-play" device that should automatically be detected by the PC. Once the
modem is detected, the PC will display an installation wizard that facilitates driver installations.
Drivers for Windows, Macintosh & LINUX operating systems are included on the MaxStream CD.
Two drivers, 'Hardware USB Bus' and 'Virtual Com Port', must be installed.
To Install Drivers (Using the Microsoft Windows OS):
USB has two types of devices: Those that supply drivers (a host, such as a PC); and those that
require a driver (a client, such as a MaxStream USB RF Modem). When a USB client is plugged into
a host, the host prompts for a driver. Once a driver is located, the host loads the driver on the first
use of the USB client; then reloads the installed driver on all subsequent uses.
A USB client should not be plugged into another client. If another USB client (such as a USB video
camera) is plugged into a MaxStream USB RF modem (also a client), the devices will not commu-
nicate. It would be incorrect to attach a USB modem to a host on one end and attach a USB
modem to a USB client at the other end. Virtually all USB peripherals (video cameras, PDA cradles,
printers, etc.) are USB clients.
Some client devices can act as a host. This is known as "USB on-the-go". An appropriate USB on-
the-go enabled device (such as a PDA with USB on-the-go support) may connect to and utilize a
MaxStream USB RF Modem. Contact MaxStream for information about device drivers.
