Using Multi-and Single-User Connect Modes

The UBox has two Device Connect Modes: Multi-User and Single-User.

Multi-User Mode: By default, the UBox is set to use the Multi-User mode. In this mode, users may share a USB device, but only one user at a time can use it. This allows multiple computers to use one USB device. Again, you must connect to the USB device before you can use it, thus preventing other users from using your USB device at the same time. In Multi-User mode, you can also dedicate USB devices to a certain computer, set up passwords for a certain USB device, and set up Auto- Connect for printers.

Single-User Mode: This mode automatically connects USB devices to your computer without you having to connect or disconnect. When your UBox is in Single- User mode, it connects all of the USB devices connected to the UBox to the first computer with UBox software it detects. Use this mode if you only have one computer, or you have multiple computers but only one computer has access to the UBox.
