high-speed charging at up to 2.1A. If the connected device does not comply with BC1.2, the

charge current will be limited to 500 mA in compliance with USB specifications.

5.2.3 Data Transfer

If you wish to transfer data, install applications, restore or update attached mobile devices, a

data connection to a local host computer is required. The hub works independently to the

Operating System (OS) and data transfer can be performed on all common operating systems,

such as iOS™, Android™, Chromebook™ and Microsoft Windows™. Many versions of Linux® are

also supported.

TheSS15 appears as a virtual serial port (also called a UART or VCP). On Microsoft Windows, the

system will appear as a COM port. On macOS, a device file is created in the / directory. This is of

the form /dev/tty.usbserial S where S is an alpha-numeric serial string unique to each device.

Devices incorporate a FT230X USB to UART converter IC from FTDI International. On Windows 7

or later, a driver may automatically be installed (if Windows is configured to download drivers

from the internet automatically). If this is not the case, or if a Mac or Linux platform is used, the

driver may be downloaded from www.ftdichip.com. The VCP drivers are required. For Linux or

Macintosh computers the default OS drivers should be used.

The default communications settings should be set to 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1

stop bit. This is sometimes referred to as 115200,8,N,1. No flow control is used. ANSI terminal

emulation should be selected

5.3.Data Transfer

If you wish to transfer data, change applications, restore or update your mobile device, a data

connection to a local host computer is required. The hub is compatible with macOS™,

Windows™ and Linux® operating systems and can transfer data between these operating

systems and many mobile operating systems such as iOS™ and Android™. In order to transfer

data, connect the host port to your local (host) computer using a Type-A to Type-A USB2.0 (or

higher) compliant cable. Any devices connected to the hub will now appear as if they were

connected to the host computer's USB port. The hub is fully compliant with High Speed USB2.0

and supports data transfer at speeds up to 480Mbps. The red power LED may flicker when the

hub is syncing.
