QG_SKXPro_SKX5_20210809 p4 Connectivity 2.1 Connection Between the XCover Pro/5 and the SKXPro/SKX5 Once the XCover Pro/5 is assembled with the SKXPro/SKX5, the two will be connected via USB and the connectivity will be USB HID connectivity by default. This allows the SKXPro/SKX5 to function as a keyboard. The SKXPro/SKX5 is also able to utilize USB Serial connectivity. a. USB HID Connectivity: Allows one-way USB communication. The SKXPro/SKX5 only transmits data to the host device, the XCover Pro/5. b. USB Serial Connectivity: Allows two-way USB communication. The SKXPro/SKX5 transmits data to the XCover Pro/5 application and the XCover Pro/5 application can transmit data/control back to the SKXPro/SKX5. Note: USB HID inputs data directly into an application, while USB Serial requires KTSync SKXPro/SKX5 or a custom application developed using the KOAMTAC SDK to input data into an application. To gain access to the SDK, please complete the form here: https://www.koamtac.com/sdk/ 2.2 Connection Between XCover Pro/5 and PC To access the XCover Pro/5 while installed in the SKXPro/SKX5 sled, you can use the USB port located on the back of SKXPro/SKX5.
