4: Using USB Devices on the Network

 

 

 

 

 

Device Name

Name programmed into your USB device by its manufacturer. This

 

 

name may differ from the actual name and model number of your

 

 

device. For example, if you have an HP Deskjet 882 printer, it may

 

 

appear as HP Deskjet 880 or HP Printer. Some USB devices do not

 

 

have names programmed into them. For unnamed USB devices, the

 

 

USB device's programmed Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID)

 

 

display. If desired, you can rename your USB devices.

 

 

(See 6: Changing Local Software Settings.)

 

 

 

 

Status

Status of the USB device. The status changes as you start to use

 

 

USB devices through the UBox. At the start, you see only the

 

 

Available status (which means that the USB device is ready to be

 

 

used by means of the UBox). (See USB Device Status Details on

 

 

page 27.)

 

Location

This column shows the UBox‘s name and the UBox’s USB port

 

 

number that your USB device is connected to. For example, the

 

 

location UBox 1: 2 means that the USB device is connected to USB

 

 

port number 2 on the UBox called UBox 1.

 

 

 

 

Step 2 Connect a Networked USB Device

1.Select the USB device under Device Name, and click the Connect icon in the Action column to the left of the device name. The status is now Connected. At this point, you can use it as if it were connected directly to your computer.
