Setup for Chapter 10 Hub Testing
To set up Examiner to test a hub:
Connect as shown in Figure 3-5 Test Setup for Hub Chapter 10 Tests or Figure 3-6 Test Setup
for Hub Chapter 10 Tests (Without Analyzers) below, connecting a USB 2.0 cable from the
Control Computer hosting the Examiner application to the rear control ports of both USB
Explorer 280’s that will execute the Examiner’s tests (US and DS).
Optionally, connect USB 2.0 cables to the rear control ports of both Explorer 280 Analyzers, in
order to capture the traffic occurring between the US port under test (PUT) and Examiner (US),
and between the DS port under test (PUT) and Examiner (DS). Examiner will control the
analyzer(s) as well. If not connecting the analyzers, the USB 3.0 cabling may be installed direct
from Examiner to the PUT, as shown in Figure 3-5. If the analyzers are used, a second USB 3.0
cable is required between the analyzers and the hub under test (one cable US, one cable DS).
The DC power supplies for the Examiner units and the analyzer units
are not shown in the Figure below, but are required.
