AX88760 Product Introduction

4.

Do we need to register our own VID/PID for our AX88760 based

application systems or can we use the VID/PID of ASIX Electronics?

The answers to above questions really depend on user’s product applications and target

market, which can be different on individual cases.

Below gives customers some general guidelines about whether one can use ASIX’s

VID/PID or one should better register its own one with USB-IF.

(1) Cases for OK to use ASIX Electronics’ VID (0B95h) and PID (772Ah)

You may be able to use ASIX Electronics’ VID and PID when your AX88760

based application system can simply work with AX88760 standard drivers provided

by ASIX without any modification and you don’t have any concern from business

and product marketing perspective to use the same VID and PID on your products as

ASIX’s other customers who are also using ASIX’s VID and PID.

ASIX Electronics would like to request customers to inform ASIX sales staffs by

sending us email at sales@asix.com.tw beforehand if you would like to use ASIX

Electronics VID and PID for your products.

In other words, if your AX88760 based application system requires you to modify

AX88760 driver on your own or by ASIX support team, you might have to register

your own VID and PID. This can avoid your end customers from going to ASIX web

site to download the AX88760 standard driver which may not be suitable to work

with your specific AX88760 based application system.

(2) Cases requiring you to use your own VID and PID

a) Your AX88760 based application systems can’t work directly with AX88760

standard drivers which ASIX Electronics release on its web site and your target

application system (such as USB dongle or docking station) may allow your end

customers to update the standalone AX88760 driver by themselves after sales. In

that case, you MUST assign your own unique VID and PID for your AX88760

based devices.

b) For brand name products, you probably don’t want your AX88760 based devices

to become compatible with other company’s AX88760 based devices. In this case,

you should consider assigning your own unique VID and PID for your AX88760

based devices.

Please visit the USB-IF web site (http://www.usb.org/developers/vendor/) to

register your own VID from USB Implementers Forum, Inc. and define the PID based

on your company rules by yourselves. If you have any problem, please contact

ASIX’s support (support@asix.com.tw) for further support.
