Frequently Asked Questions

Is there risk if I use the IOBOX after storing it in cold temperatures?

Yes, if stored below 0°C (32°F), allow the unit to warm up slowly before use to prevent irreparable damage.

What must be considered when using PoE or advanced Ethernet features?

The power input must exceed 135 W for high-spec ports, and you cannot use PoE if powering through USB-C.

How do I correctly wire an external device to the DI/DO ports?

Use stripped bare stranded 24AWG wires. The recommended length for these wires is 4.8 - 5.5 mm.

My PC software cannot detect the IOBOX connected properly; what should I check?

Check physical connections, ensure drivers are installed, and verify the VID/PID information using `devCtrl.IsConnect()` API call.
