The BEASTX device will not be powered from the USB2SYS-Interface! So the unit must be supplied with power from a different source
The installer will be copied and a link to it is added to the BEASTX group in Start-Menu. Do not connect the USB2SYS interface to the computer unless you did not perform the driver installation. After the installation when you connect the interface to the PC, Windows will recognize the device and install it as a new device.
