FAQ
Q: Does the UPortTM 200A require a software driver?
A: UPortTM 200A is USB-IF compatible; it works with major operation systems and does not require an additional driver.
Q: How many USB devise cascade can the UPort 200A support?
A: Five layers. By the definition of USB-IF, there should be seven layers for USB device cascading. The host computer and the UPort 200A have each taken one layer already; therefore, five layers remain available for cascading. There are some cases the host computer design may take more than one layer; the availability of cascading layers may vary.

Q: When I plug my USB device into the UPort 200A, why cannot it be detected by the host computer or recognized as an USB 2.0 device?
A: Interoperability issues can arise among devices made by different manufacturers. The chance of this happening is higher if your USB device is over/under SPEC design. 1. Please ensure the UPort 200A is recognized by the host computer first. 2. Plug your device to different USB port on the hub to rule out USB port being damaged. 3. Please check if it is a cable-related issue; change to a different cable to rule out a broken cable issue. 4. Unplug the USB device or restart the device in computer management like Windows Driver Manager.
Q: What is the output power of each port? A: Port 1 provides 1.5 A if your USB device supports BC 1.2;
otherwise, each port provides 0.9 A power. Q: What is BC 1.2 shown in port 1? What does it do? A: BC 1.2 AKA Battery Charging v1.2, defined by USB-IF, is designed
to charge mobile devices and support up to 1.5 A if the mobile device supports CDP or DCP mode. Q: What if I require a USB hub with a firm cable connection and higher protection level? A: You may consider the UPort 400A Series that comes with a latching cable. The UPort 400A also comes with surge level 3 protection, providing you peace of mind in terms of reliability.
