Hi Pro 2 Connectivity Issue

AcePC T11 with windows 10, com-port 1.
In case I threw away 400 $, this item is as fast as Hipro usb standard or slower? Thank you.

The serial USB (universal serial bus) port is used for communication between your PC/laptop
and the HiPro.
Communication is USB 2.0 full Speed (USB 1.1 compatible)

So what exactly is the issue again, You can’t make a connection? What software are you using and HAs are you trying to connect with.

Get the installation guide and driver from here.

Thank you for support. Attached what is shown in configuration tool.
In this supposed Hipro 2 the entry USB port is No, but in my previous Hipro USB it was Yes.


I can still programming the HA, just want know the real speed of this item.

Are you using HI-PRO USB , or HI-PRO with serial connector?

if your HI-PRO have an serial port (RS-232) then the connection is slower as with USB, and via serial port connection the data transfer need more time.

USB speed

As the window is titled Hi-Pro 2, it looks like you can connect the Hi-pro 2 both via USB and serial-interface.

However, since I never used a non-serial Hi-Pro I am not sure, of course. Could anyone be so industrious that they provide a old Hi-Pro with serial interface with an internal serial-2-USB converter, that established itself as an Hi-Pro 2? Seems a lot of work.

Can’t remember what the firmware version on my serial Hi-Pro was. But it seems that 4.00 is a higher version than my Hi-Pro serial ever reached.

There are other (, older) threads that discuss the speed of serial Hi-Pro connections, though. IIRC, you could vary the bitrate to get an increase in speed.

Hipro USB, sold as “2”

I think there is exactly this inside, unfortunately, or not?

As stated, it’s USB only, the MK 2 version is 5 times faster than MK 1, the difference in speeds in the USB 2.0 port is up to 480 Mb per second, I don’t see why this makes any difference tho, I’m glad your still able to provide programming with your set up, that AcePC T11 is a little beast for sure.
Did you check your device manager to see what it shows there.

Yes, you have a counterfeit HI-PRO 2, as you suspected. These will display “USB port: No” in the configuration program and cannot be updated to the latest firmware version (4.01.0092).

Well that’s interesting, this is the very first time I’ve seen one, will not being able to update the firmware stop it from working I wonder? Well at least we have the industry standard Noahlink wireless now, hope they don’t go pirating that!

So it is a masked serial Hipro, slower than USB one (white box), right?

I thought you said you had HiPro 2 which is the black one?

yes, I bought the black one, and sold my white USB one
