Device Status

The USB Devices tab shows the connection status of USB devices connected to the UBox. The following is a table of status descriptions.

Figure 4-10. USB Device Status

Status	Description

Available	The USB device is available for use by any computer. To use this
	device, click the green Connect icon in the Action column. Once
	you connect to the device, the status message changes to
	Connected.
Connected	The USB device is connected to your computer, and you have
	exclusive access to that USB device. Other users on the network will
	see the In Use By [x] status. To make this device available for use
	by any computer, click the red Disconnect icon

In Use By [x]	The USB device is in use by another computer. You cannot use this
	device until the other computer finishes and disconnects from that
	device. The text in brackets shows the name of the client using that
	device.
	Note: This client name comes from the computer's name (as
	specified when that computer was set up). You can change this
	name in the UBox's Local Settings tab. (See 6: Changing Local
	Software Settings).
Auto-Connected	The USB device (either a printer or a multifunction printer) has been
	set up for Auto Connect. You cannot connect to an Auto-Connected
	printer as the UBox software does this for you automatically. (See
	Auto Connecting Printers on page 23.)

Password Required	The USB device requires a password before you can connect to it.
	You can password-protect individual USB devices by editing your
	UBox's settings on the Servers tab (see 5: Changing the UBox's
	Settings) and then setting a password on the Edit Server
	Configuration Device window (see Editing Server Settings: USB
	Device Configuration Tab on page 36).

Reserved/Dedicated	The USB device is reserved/dedicated to your computer. Other
	computers show the device as Dedicated To [x]. You can
	dedicate a single USB device to specific computer by editing your
	UBox's settings in the Servers tab (see 5: Changing the UBox's
	Settings) and then setting a password on the Edit Server
	Configuration Device window (see Editing Server Settings: USB
	Device Configuration Tab on page 36).
