4: Using USB Devices on the Network

Note: The default configuration of the UBox is Multi-User Connect Mode. In this mode, all USB devices are shared in a one-at-a-time mode. If a device is in use by another user, that USB device's status displays as In Use By [ComputerName].

Before you can use the device, you must connect to it to gain exclusive access. When you are finished using the device, you must disconnect from it before others can use it.

When you select a USB device, information displays in the Device Details section of the window. Typically, this information includes:

Name	Name for the USB device programmed into the device by the
	vendor. If you rename the device (see Editing Server Settings:
	USB Device Configuration Tab on page 36), the custom name
	displays as Name.
USB Desc	Description of the device programmed into the device by the
	vendor. Cannot be changed.
VID/PID	Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) programmed into the
	device by the vendor.

	the vendor.

	disconnect from the USB device. Default.

Password Required	If Yes, the user must enter a password to view and update
	this USB device.
Local Password Saved	If Yes, the user must enter a password to access the USB
	device.
	Note: If the user chooses Remember Password when
	connecting to a password-protected USB device, the
	password is saved in the Local Settings tab. (See Viewing or
	Removing Device Passwords on page 47.)
Type	Type of device programmed into the device by the vendor.
Auto-Connect	If Yes, automatically connects to your computer when you
	have a print job queued and disconnects when the job is
