3.3. External power source
You can power a Universal Radio Socket from an external power bank via a USB type-C port. In
this case the Universal Radio Socket functions as a client.
3.4. Extension module support
Universal Radio Socket supports the Extension Module. The Extension Module connects to the
Universal Radio Socket through a USB type-C port to transmit data about external triggers and
response control (vibration, etc.). Universal Radio Socket sends this data, along with tracking data,
to its access point.
3.5. Universal Radio Socket Operating Modes
Universal Radio Socket can act as a client (if connected to the external power supply),
transmitting the tracking data to the access point, or as an access point, collecting data from other
devices and sending them to the Host via USB (along with its own data).
Each mode defines the device properties in accordance with its functions.
You can change the Universal Radio Socket mode in the AntilatencyService using the Device
Network tab.
To do this, set the Mode property as:
• UsbRadioSocket (access point);
• RadioSocket (client).
ATTENTION!
Firmware update is only available in UsbRadioSocket mode.
The device in each mode has an independent set of properties.
Since firmware version 5.0.0 the Universal Radio Socket in client mode appears in the ADN
device tree as an additional node AltHmdRadioSocketShadow. But firstly, you need to connect the
device via USB.
You can also configure its properties: set the channel mask, the MasterSN or change the Socket
mode.
If you connect one Socket using both USB and radio connections, it will be displayed in the
Device Tree twice under different names.
