Clarification of USB and Ethernet Connections on NQuire Devices

This article aims to provide a detailed explanation of the behavior and differences of New NQuire series devices (Android 13) when connecting to various peripherals or hosts via USB and Ethernet interfaces. By showing usage scenarios and offering corresponding guidance, we hope to help users gain a clearer understanding of the devices' connection principles and efficiently address any potential issues.

The NQuire 750, NQuire 1000, and NQuire 1500 are designed with one USB Type-C port, one USB Type-A port, and an Ethernet port, while the NQuire 500 features a USB Type-C port and an Ethernet port.

1. When the NQuire's USB Type-C port is connected to another host device (e.g., connecting a computer to the NQuire's USB Type-C port), NQuire operates as a slave. In this case, both the USB Type-A port and the Ethernet port are disabled.
2. When the NQuire's USB Type-C port is connected to a peripheral device (e.g., connecting a flash driver to the NQuire's USB Type-C port), NQuire operates as a host. In this scenario, both the USB Type-A port and the Ethernet port work normally without any conflicts.

Case 1

When the NQuire's USB Type-C port is connected to another host device (e.g., connecting a computer to the NQuire's USB Type-C port), NQuire operates as a slave. In this case, both the USB Type-A port and the Ethernet port are disabled.

Case 2

When the NQuire's USB Type-C port is connected to a peripheral device (e.g., connecting a mobile hard disk drive to the NQuire's USB Type-C port), NQuire operates as a host. In this scenario, both the USB Type-A port and the Ethernet port function normally without any conflicts.
