6.12 How to Block USB Device Types
USB devices are grouped into classes according to their function. For example, input devices such as keyboards
belong to the group 'Human Interface Device' (HID).
USB devices may present themselves as HID class USB devices while they are actually used for abuse (known as
'BadUSB').
In order to protect the UTN server, you can block input devices of the HID class.
1. Start the utnserver Control Center.
2. Select SECURITY – USB.
3. Click/clear Disable input devices (HID class).
4. To confirm, click Save.
The setting will be saved.
Additionally, there is a selection that enables or disables all input devices (HID class) on the ports.
1. Start the utnserver Control Center.
2. Select SECURITY – USB.
3. Select Disable input devices (HID class) for all ports or
Enable input devices (HID class) for all ports.
4. To confirm, click Save.
The setting will be saved.
