5.2 How to Establish a Connection to a USB Device

To connect a USB device to the client, a point-to-point-connection is established between the client and the USB port of the UTN server to which the USB device is connected. The USB device can then be used as if it were directly connected to the client.

Important:

Special case of compound USB devices

When connecting certain USB devices to a USB port of the UTN server, the selection list displays several USB devices on this port. These are compound USB devices. They con sist of a hub and one or more USB devices that are all integrated into a single housing.

If the connection is established to a port with a connected compound USB device, all

USB devices shown will be connected to the user's client. In this case, each integrated

USB device occupies a virtual USB port of the UTN server.The number of these virtual

USB ports is limited depending on the UTN server model. If the limit is reached, no fur ther USB devices can be used on this UTN server.
