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. As long as the connection is established, other users cannot connect the USB device to
their client and thus cannot use it.
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.
