Activating a Connection

A USB device that is connected to the UTN or INU server can be connected to a client. To this purpose, the user establishes a connection between the client and the USB port of the UTN or INU 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.

 

Important:

Special case of compound USB devices

When connecting certain USB devices to a USB port of the UTN or INU server, the selection list displays several USB devices on this port. These are 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 or INU server. The number of these virtual USB ports is limited depending on the device model. If the limit is reached, no further USB devices can be used on this INU server.

    The USB port is shown in the selection list.

    All provisions (driver installation, etc.) necessary to operate the USB device locally (i.e. connected directly to the client) 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 not connected to another client.

 

1.  In the selection list, select the port.

2.  From the menu bar, select PortActivate.

  The connection between the USB device and client is established.
