A USB device that is connected to the UTN server can be connected to the client. To this purpose, the user establishes a connection between the client and the USB port of the UTN server to which the USB device is connected. The USB device can then be used by the client as if the USB device was directly connected to the client.
When connecting certain USB devices to a USB port of the UTN server, the selection list displays several USB devices on this port. These are so-called compound USB devices. They consist of a hub and one or more USB devices that are all integrated into a single housing.
If the connection is established to a port with a connected compound USB device, all USB devices shown will be connected to the user's client. In this case, each integrated USB device occupies a virtual USB port of the UTN server. The number of these virtual USB ports is limited depending on the UTN server model. If the limit is reached, no further USB devices can be used on this UTN server.

Note
that a USB device that was made available by the UTN server can only be
used by one network participant at a time.
Requirements:
All provisions (driver installation, etc.) necessary to operate the USB device locally (i.e. connected directly to the client) should have been met on the client. Ideally, the USB device has been connected and operated on the client locally according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
· The USB port is shown in the selection list; see: Adding a Device.
· The USB port is not connected to another client.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the port from the selection list.
2. Select Port – Activate from the menu bar.
↳ The connection will be established.
