Chapter 3. Basic Operation

USB Peripheral Devices

The front panel USB port is available to connect a USB peripheral device (flash drive, CD-ROM drive, printer, etc.) to the CL5708 / CL5716. Any computer connected to the CL5708 / CL5716 can access the USB peripheral on a one-at- a-time basis. The peripheral device is available to computers connected to the CL5708 / CL5716 on the same level only, and is not available to computers connected to daisy chained switches.

The USB peripheral device is automatically detected on target computers when switching ports on the CL5708 / CL5716. For example, when switching from a computer connected to port 1 to a computer connected to port 2, the peripheral device automatically disconnects from the computer on port 1 and connects to the computer on port 2.
