www.aleratec.com7 Using the USB Duplicator Synchronous and Asynchronous The 1:118 USB Copy Tower SA supports two copying methods: • Synchronous • Asynchronous Synchronous Copying Synchronous Copying means that all flash drives begin copying together. Synchronous Copying is used when the source data is larger than the system buffer (120MB). You can check the size of the data source drive by inserting the source drive into the USB Duplicator and using the arrow keys to first select “Information”, then select “USB Info”. Plug in one source and up to 118 target USB flash drives. The display will read out the number of USB flash drives that are ready for copying and the content size. When you have finished loading the target drives use the arrow keys to select “Copy” and then select OK. Asynchronous Copying Asynchronous Copying is used when the data files are the same as or less than the systems buffer memory (120MB). If the source data content is less than the systems buffer memory you can copy flash drives continuously by taking out the drive which has finished copying, and replacing it with another blank. Asynchronous Copying will start immediately after loading the first target drive. When this process is used the source data is read into systems buffer first. You can check the size of the data source USB flash drive by inserting it into the USB Duplicator and using the arrow keys to first select “Information”, then select “USB Info”.
www.aleratec.com8 Using the USB Duplicator Main Menu Functions are selected with the arrow keys. The numbers correspond to the Function listing in the previous section. 1. Copy This function makes USB flash copies. The duplicator auto detects and supports Synchronous, and Asynchronous methods of Copy. Synchronous Copying In Synchronous Copying all USB flash drives are copied simultaneously. Synchronous Copying is used when the source data is larger than the system buffer (120MB). 1. Load the source flash drive into the USB Duplicator. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to scroll through the menu until Copy is displayed on the LCD screen. 2. Press the OK button on the display panel. The LCD will display the following status: Note: The number beside “USB” is the capacity of the USB flash drive in megabytes. The number to the right is the size occupied by files or images. 3. Load the blank target flash drives into the USB Duplicator. The LCD will display the number of blank media loaded and ready for copying. USB(963M) 450M 0 readyESC OK ESC OK USB Duplicator 1.

The LCD will display the status of the copying process. 6. When Copy is complete LCD will display the following status: If the Copy fails, the LCD will display the number of flash drives that failed and passed. Note: When copying is in process the Green LED on the front panel is blinking. Do not take out the drive while it is copying. When copying is finished the Green LED stays on (no blinking). If an error occurs during the copy process a Red LED will display. When Target and Sources’s capacity have a significant difference (e.g. 1GB Source being copied to a 4GB Target), it may cause an error to the Target’s capacity and format. To avoid this error, it is strongly recommended that the Target and Source be close in their respective capacities. Asynchronous Copying Asynchronous Copy is used only when the source content is the same as or less than the system buffer (120MB). With the source content read into the systems buffer you can copy flash drives continuously by taking out the drive which has finished copying, and replacing it with another blank. This process is repeated until the copying job is complete. 1. Load the source flash drive into the USB Duplicator. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to scroll through the menu until Copy is displayed on the LCD screen.

The USB Duplicator will start to read the source content into the system’s buffer and immediately start copying to any loaded target USB flash drives. 3. Load the blank target flash drives into the USB Duplicator. The LCD will display the number of blank media loaded and copying. Note: When copying is in process the Green LED on the front panel is blinking. Do not take out the drive while it is copying. When copying is finished the Green LED stays on (no blinking). If an error occurs during the copy process a Red LED will display. 4. As finished drives are removed, and new blanks inserted, the display will show the number of copies completed and the number of USB flash drives still in the copying process. If the Copy fails, the LCD will display the number of flash drives that failed and passed. Note: During Asynchronous Copying you can use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to check each flash drives copying status.
