USB Port Types
There are two standard types of USB ports. The external controller (PC) must 
be connected via the USB host port (type A), while the E4980A/AL and other 
USB-compatible devices must be connected via the USB interface port (type 
mini-B).
Preparing E4980A/AL
You do not have to configure any softkey or command for the E4980A/AL in 
order to control the E4980A/AL from an external controller. Simply connect a 
USB cable to the USB interface port.
Preparing External Controller
You must set up the I/O interface of the external controller in advance to 
establish communication with the E4980A/AL via a USB. The USB can identify 
devices automatically, so once you connect a USB cable to a target device, a 
dialog box will appear for USB device registration.
 
Type A: USB host port
Type mini-B: USB interface port
The E4980A/AL will be identified as a new device if its serial number has 
been changed.
