Using The Single-User Connect Mode
The USB Server has two Connect Modes: Multi-User and Single-User.
By default, the server is set to use the Multi-User mode. In Multi-User mode, USB devices are
shared in a one-user-at-a-time mode. This allows multiple computers to use one USB device.
Again, you need to 'connect' to the USB device before you can use it (thus preventing other users
from using your USB device at the same time).
Single-User mode will automatically connect USB devices to your computer without you having to
connect or disconnect. When your USB Server is set to Single-User mode, it will 'connect' all of
the USB devices connected to the server to the first computer (with Keyspan Server Utility
software) it detects. Use this mode, if A) you only have one computer or B) you have multiple
computers but only one computer will have access to the USB Server.
Connect Mode (Multi-User or Single-User) can be configured in the USB Server's Servers tab.
For details, please see the Changing USB Server's Settings section later in this manual.
The Single-User Connect Mode affects an entire USB Server. Please note that you can also
configure a single USB device to be dedicated to particular computer and still share other USB
devices with other computers. For details, please see the XXXX section later in this manual.
