USB Duplicator - Operations - Asynchronous Copy

The Kanguru USB Duplicator’s asynchronous process allows you to add and remove Target USB devices as they are completed, without having to wait for the current job to finish. Kanguru’s asynchronous copy process is unique in that there are no performance sacrifices or capacity limitations.

To execute an Asynchronous Copy:

1. Power on the duplicator. When the duplicator is powered on and ready for operation, press the DOWN button to navigate to 2. Async. Copy.

2. Press the ENT button to start the asynchronous copy process.

3. Insert the Source drive (i.e. the drive to be copied) into the Source port. The Source port is located on the top left and is marked with a “Source” label.

4. Connect your Target drive(s) into any available port.

5. Once a Target device is inserted, the asynchronous copy process will start. During the Copy process, additional Target devices can be inserted into any available port at any time without waiting for the current job to finish.

Warning! Although you can insert USB devices at any time, do NOT remove devices while a device is being copied to. Doing so can cause data corruption and could damage your USB device. You must wait for copying to each device to finish before removing it. Please reference the following chart to determine the status of each USB device.

Asynchronous Copy LED Display

6. During the asynchronous copy process, you will see the following two screens displayed alternately:

* This number will increase as more devices are connected and decrease as devices have completed the copy process.

7. Once both the Green LED and Red LED light up solid next to a Target device, duplication to this device has completed and it is safe to disconnect that device. Note: If only the Red LED lights up next to the Target device, duplication failed on this device and it is safe to disconnect that device.

8. During Asynchronous copy, once a Target device has finished being copied to and removed, another USB device can be connected in its place and duplication will begin on the newly connected device.

9. When all of your Target devices have been duplicated, the on-screen “Working” indicator will be reduced to “0”.

10. Remove the Source device and press the ESC button to return to the Main menu.
