Hardware Port Speed Identification

Technically, both ports of the Bridge are USB2.0 compatible but only one port offers the maximum speed of 480Mpbs (High-Speed), the other runs at 12Mbps (Full-Speed). Both speeds are way beyond the data rates that will normally ever be used or needed by MIDI, though. Only when an USB bus is almost saturated by other than MIDI traffic there could be cases where one wants to connect the High-Speed port of the Bridge to a specific bus.

The High-Speed port side of the Bridge can by identified during the LED pattern display of Firmware Version, it is located at the side where the first blink pulse is seen, in yellow (see chapter Firmware Version Identification).
