Lantronix UBX4100 Step 3 - Disconnect Your USB Device(s)

Using USB Devices on the Network

Share Mode

Indicates type of connection to the specific USB device:

Shared: Allows multiple computers to connect to and

disconnect from the USB device. Default.

Dedicated: Dedicates the USB device to a specific computer.

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

finished.

1. Repeat the procedure above for every USB device you want to use.

Step 3 - Disconnect Your USB Device(s)

When you have finished using your USB device, you must virtually disconnect it from

your computer before it is available to everyone else on the network.

1. Open the Lantronix UBox application.

2. Select the USB device and click the Disconnect icon . The status changes to

Available.

Note: Some USB devices require additional action before you disconnect

your USB device. For example, some USB devices require you to stop the

USB device's software. If your USB device requires such action when the

device is directly connected to your computer, please perform them before

clicking the Disconnect icon in the Lantronix UBox software.

If you forget to disconnect a USB device, the USB device automatically disconnects if

your computer goes to “sleep” or “hibernates,” your computer is turned off, or you

disconnect from your network.

In the worst case, where a USB device has been left in use and you cannot get the

other computer to disconnect it, you can “forcibly disconnect” the device. While this

action is not recommended, you can learn more about it in Using Forced Device

Disconnect on page 25.
