I’m not sure what they are. There is a telephone jack socket for focuser control as well. Sounds good? Sure. Except the Windows OS on the PC reports that it does not recognise the USB device when you plug it in. I can work around that by disconnecting th DC feed in and reconnecting it while leaving the USB attached to the PC. Not very elegant. does anyone have any better solution?

I have the same (old) model. To avoid the unrecognised USB warning you need to plug in the following sequence.
1_ unplug all cameras from the hub
2_ plug the hub in the PC/Laptop via USB while it's unpowered.
3_ power the hub (computer will recognise the hub)
4_ start the MountHub Pro client (executable)
5_ plug the camera and others in the hub via USB.
6_ power the camera and others via the client.
I'm on Win7 and Win10.
