Vive Cosmos Wireless Setup Question

[Beringela001]

Hey guys,

 

got my vive Cosmos running and everything is fine. I was wondering though, Do i still need to keep the Vive hub attached to the computer, the one the headset used to connect to?

 

Thank you.

 

Paulo.

@Beringela001,

It's not required unless you're using Cosmos Elite and want basestation power management to work. The bluetooth HW required to communicate with the basestations is in the wired linkbox - you can keep BT power management enabled if you hook up the linkbox to the PC with just power and USB forgoing the Display cable. If you have the display cable hooked up in addition to power and USB, the system will anticipate that you're trying to hook up a wired HMD and will switch over to wired mode which can block the wireless adapter from working as anticipated.

So the Cosmos Link Box has the same Bluetooth as the Vive Pro Link Box?
