GH：1。Your ModIT-MAX at a glance
The ModIT-MAX has been designed to provide high-speed data transfer to USB compliant
devices without being constrained by endpoint limits.
The ModIT-MAX can charge attached USB devices without using a local computer.The ModIT-
MAX allows almost any device to be charged at its optimum rate (up to 2.4A).The firmware can
be up-dated to ensure the ModIT-MAX can charge the latest devices.It is ready to charge out-
of-the-box and to sync devices when attached to a host computer.
When a local (host) computer is attached the host can control the operation of each individual
port using software provided by Cambrionix.Device charging and synchronisation can be
monitored through Cambrionix’s LiveViewer Application, the Application Programming
Interface (API) or Command Line Interface (CLI).Cambrionix’s free monitoring and control
software can be downloaded from www.cambrionix.com/products/api
With your ModIT-MAX there is a Thunderbolt™ connection to the host which is capable of up to
, meaning your upstream speeds to the host will be capable of this data transfer rate.The
upstream data transfer rate will be shared amongst the downstream 16 x USB3.2 Type-A
connections.

GH：1。Using your ModIT-MAX
In this section you can find information information on how to use your hub in a charge only or
a charge and sync application.You can also find information on managing your hub and
changing port modes, connecting multiple hubs to one host and using Cambrionix Software.
0.13.1LED Configuration
Your ModIT-MAX has inbuilt LEDs used to show the state of the ports or devices.These LEDs can
be configured to support your own use case, this can be controlled either by using the APIto
send commands directly or through separate software.
The default LED behaviour of the hub is below.
Colour Behaviour
Flashing Red Port is in charge mode and is profiling the device
Red Port is in charge mode and is charging
Green Port is in charge mode and the device has reached the
charged threshold
Blue Port is in Sync mode and has a host connection
GH：0。1。Using without connecting to host
When the Hub is switched on and is not connected to a local host computer it is
automatically configured to charge devices using its intelligent charging algorithm.Simply
connect the devices to be charged to any of the available ports (not the Host Port) using
USB - compliant cables.
Once the devices are connected, the algorithm will detect the highest charge rate allowable for
each attached device.Charging at the optimum rate (up to 2.4A) specified by the manufacturer
will commence once profiling is complete.Depending on the state of charge of the device
attached, this may take tens of seconds.

0.13.4Charging
When the Host Port is connected to a local computer, the hub defaults to Sync mode and
charge currents are determined according to USB Implementers Forum (USBIF) Super-Speed
USB3 specifications.If the attached device complies with USB-IF Battery Charging
specification BC1.2 and supports Charging Downstream Port (CDP), the hub can provide
high-speed charging at up to 2.4A.If the connected device does not comply with BC1.2, the
charge current will be limited to 900 mA in compliance with USB specifications.
If you wish to limit the charging to your devices whilst connected to your host system then you
can disable CDPon all ports by inputting the following commands.
The CLI commands for turning off the sync charg options, with a 1 or 0 per port.
settings_unlock
settings_reset
settings_set sync_chrg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
settings_set alt_sync_chrg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
reboot
This can also be done via the API if this is easier.Just supply that string (joined with \n) like:
cbrxapi.cbrx_connection_set(handle, "Settings", "settings_
unlock\nsettings_reset\nsettings_set sync_chrg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0\nsettings_set alt_sync_chrg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0\nreboot")
Note that settings_reset clears any previous settings, so if you need to retain something else, it
would be better to issue settings_display first, which gives you the entire settings which you
can then modify and re-issue in entirity.
0.13.5Data 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™.

ModIT-MAX 14/38ページ
In order to transfer data, connect the host port to your local (host) computer using a
Thunderbolt™™3 compliant cable.Any devices connected to the hub will now appear as if they
were connected to the host computer’s USB port.

• LiveViewer
• Cambrionix API
•コマンドライン命令
The ModIT-MAX uses string commands to communicate with the host system.These can be
sent via the virtual serial port of the ModIT-MAX directly, or the API can be used to provide
other protocols that sends translated string commands.LiveViewer can use the API to interact
with the devices through a user friendly application.
There are three different channels for both our LiveViewer application and the API.The three
channels are Alpha/ Beta and Release.We would recommend using the release version of both
the APIand LiveViewer.
We will push bug fixes and any updates through Alpha and then onto Beta before it is merged
into the Release version.If you have found a bug that we have a fix for, the Alpha and Beta
releases may already have addressed these and implemented fixes.
