• Data Transfer: The adapter supports USB 2.0 standard for data transfer. This enables efficient backup and transfer of files between your connected device and the external USB peripheral.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BoxWave USB Expansion Adapter, follow these guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the adapter. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

• Handling: Handle the adapter with care. Avoid bending or twisting the cable excessively, and do not force connectors into ports.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your USB Expansion Adapter, consider the following:

• Device Not Recognized:
  • Ensure both the adapter and the peripheral are securely connected.
  • Verify that the peripheral you are trying to connect is compatible with OTG functionality and your Backbone One (IP) device.
  • Try connecting a different USB peripheral to confirm if the issue is with the adapter or the peripheral.
• Slow Data Transfer:
