Tech Note: Using Multiple USB Servers and USB Devices:
US4A/PS4A:
You can view up to 8 USB Servers in the Keyspan Server Utility software.
If you are using all of the USB ports on your 8 servers, you will be able view a total of 32
USB devices in the Keyspan Server Utility software however you will only be
able to have 12 USB devices 'connected' to your computer.
If you need to use a 13th USB device, 'disconnect' one of your 12 USB devices via the
Keyspan Server Utility software to free a location for the next USB device.
If you need to have more than 8 USB Servers, configure your next 8 servers to use a
different UDP port. Once you have done this, use the USB Software's Local UDP
Port menu item to switch between your first 8 servers and your next 8 servers.
Tech Note: Using One USB Server With Multiple Users:
Only 10 users can connect to a single or set of USB Servers using the same UDP port.
You can support more users by setting up additional USB Servers with different UDP
port numbers.
Other Methods To Connect Your USB Devices
Using the USB Server program to connect and disconnect your USB devices (as outlined above) is
only one method of connecting devices. While the USB Server program gives detailed information
about your USB Server and USB devices connected to it, you may not always want to open the
USB Server program every time you want to use your USB device. Because of this, we have
created other methods to connect your USB devices. With the USB Server 1.3 software, you can:
• Automatically connect and disconnect printers for improved printer sharing
(by using the Auto-Connect feature)
• Connect and disconnect USB devices without opening the USB Server program
(by using the USB Server system tray feature)
• Reclaim or Force Disconnect a device that has been left in use by another user.
• Not 'share' your USB devices and Automatically connect USB devices to only one
computer (by using the Single-User Connect Mode)
The following subsections show you how to use these different features.
Using The Auto-Connect Feature For Windows
This feature will automatically connect and disconnect printers whenever you have a print job
queued. This gives you a richer printing experience that is similar to using a print servers. Note:
This feature is only enabled in the Multi-User Connect Mode for USB devices that are using the
Shared Share Mode.
This User Manual applies to the Keyspan USB Server Software Version 1.3.x. Patent Pending.
