device)
• USB phone doesn’t work when connected via USB HUB

A bus-powered HUB (getting its power through the USB port) can not provide
sufficient power to operate the USB phone. Use a USB HUB that is self-powered
(battery or mains adaptor) instead or connect the USB phone directly to a PC USB
port.
