Computer and console modules (DP-HR) · 177
In Generic HID mode, data of the USB input device connected to the Generic socket of
the console module remains unaltered when transmitted to the active computer module.
The use of Generic HID devices is possible only after you enable the Generic HID mode
of the console module and of the computer module.
In Generic HID mode, you can connect USB hubs or USB composite devices to the
Generic socket of the console module.
USB composite devices are USB devices that are connected to a computer via one USB
cable, but consist of separate HID devices (e.g. keyboard/mouse or touchpad/mouse.
When connecting a USB hub or a USB composite device containing multiple USB
devices, only the first of the connected HID devices can be used in Generic
HID
mode. The OSD informs you if other HID devices of the composite device or the
hub are detected.
