What is the status of the USB ports on the back of the Topaz and Ruby2?

The USB ports on the back of the Topaz and Ruby2 terminals are designed to be inactive under normal operating conditions. This inactive status means that they do not serve any functional purpose while the terminal is in use with transactions or other operations.

The purpose of these USB ports could often be to provide configuration options or used during the setup process, but once the device is in its standard operational mode, these ports do not become active. Understanding this functionality is crucial for users and technicians who are setting up or troubleshooting these devices, as they might initially assume that all ports are operational under normal circumstances. This knowledge helps prevent unnecessary confusion or misuse of the ports during routine operations.
