Step 5: Repeat Step 1 to 4 for another compu-
ter. (Two red lights will turn in to green after
completion of install, and users are able to

Running the USB Data Link Program
Follow the steps below on how to run the USB Data Link program:
1. Plug in both ends of the USB Data Link
cable to the two computers.
2. Double-click on the shortcut icon (showed "PC-Linq") on your desktop screen.
Do the same for the other computer.
3. The USB Data Link File Manager will appe-
ar on your screen and will detect both the
local and remote machine. This is much
similar with Windows Explorer file mana-
ger where you can cut, copy, paste, or
drag files and folders.
4. You can also print text or document files from the remote machine to your
local printer by clicking on the file and run File-Print command.
5. 11. There are two LED-like indicators found on the bottom-right corner of the
USB Data Link File Manager. These indicators show the connection status of
the remote and local machine. The left LED is for the local machine, while the
10
right LED is for the remote machine. A green LED indicates that the connec-
tion is good while a red LED indicates that connection is not found. Both LEDs
need to be in green color for a proper link and operation. If one LED is red, it
means the USB cable is not properly connected, or the software is not pro-
perly installed, or the PC is in suspend mode.
6. Click on the Help Topics icon (rightmost icon) for more information on how to
use the program.
Power management and Remote Wake-up Function
The USB Data Link Cable supports power management function of USB. When
either of the two connected PC gets into suspend, the USB Data Link cable will
draw less than 500 mA of current from it. This is essential for the notebook or
other mobile PC.
The USB Data Link program also includes the remote wakeup function.
Whenever the remote machine goes into suspend mode, you just click on any
file or folder inside the remote machine folder and the remote machine will resu-
me to normal operation mode.
However, you can disable this function to avoid the annoyance of suspend-
wakeup sequence during operating the Data Link application. Please click the
menu bar's Option, then click Setting, and disable the Allow System to Suspend
option.
Program Uninstallation
You can uninstall the USB Data Link application program and driver by running
Add/Remove Programs in Settings/Control Panel and follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the process.
