www.aleratec.com3 Introduction For Ease of Use To make duplication even easier, we’ve added a feature that lets you match up the logical drives shown in the USB Duplication Suite software with the actual physical port position of that drive. To take advantage of this function, a “Port Training” needs to be performed to match each USB Port to your 1:16 USB 3.0 Copy Tower. For example, you would likely designate the upper-leftmost port on the duplicator Port 1 and so on (see image). For details please see section titled Port Training on page 28 in the manual.
