Automatic Connection If a USB Device Is Connected (Auto-Connect)
Auto-Connect automatically establishes a connection to a USB port and the connected USB device as soon as a
USB device is connected to the USB port. Auto-Connect must be activated for each USB port and works for all USB
devices which are connected to the USB port.
 The SEH UTN Manager (complete version) is installed on the client  11.
 The USB port is shown in the selection list  20.
 You are logged on to the client as administrator.
1. Start the SEH UTN Manager.
2. Select the UTN server from the selection list.
3. In the menu bar, select UTN server – Activate Auto-Connect.
The dialog Activate Auto-Connect appears.
4. Tick the option for the desired USB ports.
5. Click OK.
 The setting will be saved. The connection to the USB port and the connected USB device is automatically and
immediately activated. If you disconnect the USB device and reconnect it, the connection is again automati-
cally established.
Important:
If you manually deactivate an active USB port connection that was established via
Auto-Connect, Auto-Connect will be switched off. If you want to use Auto-Connect
again, you will need to reconfigure it later.
