workstation users who need to attach multiple serial (RS-232) ports, a printer port, and USB peripherals to a single 
USB upstream connector. 
Cabling Edgeport 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Type A   
 
 
 
 
Type B 
 
The Edgeport/42 and Edgeport/421 operate as self-powered hubs, requiring a power supply to function. (For more 
information about hubs, see “Understanding Hubs” on page 18.) Connect one end of the power supply into the back 
of your Edgeport and the other end into an AC outlet.* 
The Edgeport/21 derives its power from the host machine through the USB cable, and thus, does not require a power 
supply.  
To connect your Edgeport to a PC or Hub, plug the Type A end of the USB cable into the USB port located in the 
back of your PC or into an available USB port on a standard hub or into a Digi Hubport. Plug the Type B end of the 
USB cable into the back of the Edgeport. 
To connect a USB device to your Edgeport, plug the Type A end of the USB cable into one of the Edgeport/421 or 
Edgeport/42 USB Type A slots and the Type B end of the USB cable into the device.  
* Power to the Edgeport/421 may be supplied by a UL Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit or Information Technology Equipment 
Rated Power Unit rated 5 V dc, at least 2.5 A if used in the U.S. and Canada or a power supply with similar rating and approved 
by your local safety code if it is used elsewhere. For polarity, see diagram to the right. 
 
Installing the Hub Drivers 
For Windows 95 Users  
After plugging Edgeport into your PC, the Update Device Driver Wizard for installing the generic USB hub may 
appear. If so, follow the recommended on screen instructions. Otherwise, Windows 95 will bring up the Update 
Device Driver Wizard for installing the Edgeport drivers, in which case you may proceed to “Edgeport Driver 
Installation” on page 8. 
For Windows 98, CE, SE, Me, 2000 and XP Users 
After following the instructions described in “Cabling Edgeport” on this page, hub installation will be complete and 
you may continue with “Edgeport Driver Installation” on page 8. 
For Windows NT Users  
No separate process is required. Go to “Edgeport Driver Installation” on page 8.
