USB 2.0 ADVICE
Ulyxe PL™ exclusively works via USB 2.0 Full Speed only. Certain hardware configurations and certain
operative systems do not fully support the requested connection.
It is suggested to perform the following checks:
•Use only USB cables certified “ HIGH SPEED” or quality “USB2.0” cable, not longer than 2 meters.
•Avoid using any kind of extension cable or any HUB on the cable path.
•Verify the compatibility of the operative system.
•Some computers support only one USB2.0 at a time. On those systems, the use of other devices
(USB memories, external HD, etc.) can disconnect the Ulyxe PL™ peripheral devices (in particular it
is observed that any USB 2.0 peripheral connected for last in temporal order isn’t recognized from
O.S.).
