Question

Answer

 

 

Why are all my USB devices

Virtual Media devices and vFlash devices are

detached after I connect

connected as a composite USB device to the Host

a USB device?

USB BUS, and they share a common USB port.

 

Whenever any Virtual Media or vFlash USB device

 

is connected to or disconnected from the host USB

 

BUS, all the Virtual Media and vFlash devices will

 

be disconnected momentarily from the host USB

 

bus, and then they will be connected again. If a

 

Virtual Media device is being used by the host

 

operating system, you must avoid attaching or

 

detaching one or more Virtual Media or vFlash

 

devices. It is recommended that you connect all the

 

required USB devices first before using them.
