Q. The BB-UH104 hub is installed, but a downstream
device doesn’t seem to be working.
A. Some USB devices derive their power from the USB
cable.
Model BB-UH104 will only provide 100 mA to the
downstream ports. If your downstream devices require
more than 100 mA, you should use a powered USB hub
(like Advantech Model# BB-UHR204). A powered USB
hub will provide 500 mA to the downstream ports.
Q. Do I need drivers for a USB hub?
No, the operating system will detect the BB-UH104 and
install the drivers automatically.
Q. How can I be sure it has been installed?
The new hub will be listed in your Device Manager.
Q. Can I use USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices together?
Yes. USB 2.0 is backwards-compatible with USB 1.0 and
USB 1.1.
