Chapter 3. Basic Operation

USB Peripheral Devices

The front panel USB port is available to connect a USB peripheral device (flash
drive, CD-ROM drive, printer, etc.) to the CL5708 / CL5716. Any computer
connected to the CL5708 / CL5716 can access the USB peripheral on a one-at-
a-time basis. The peripheral device is available to computers connected to the
CL5708 / CL5716 on the same level only, and is not available to computers
connected to daisy chained switches.
The USB peripheral device is automatically detected on target computers when
switching ports on the CL5708 / CL5716. For example, when switching from
a computer connected to port 1 to a computer connected to port 2, the
peripheral device automatically disconnects from the computer on port 1 and
connects to the computer on port 2.
