Disconnecting an USB Device
1. To safety disconnect an USB device under the Network window, right-click the USB
device icon and select “Disconnect” from the menu. Once the USB device has been
disconnected, it will no longer be connected to your computer, and you can unplug the
USB cable of the USB device from the Network USB over IP Server.
If you would like to reconnect the USB device, simply right-click on the USB device icon. And
then select “
Connect
” again to establish the connection.
Request to Disconnect
1. If you would like to use an USB device that is being occupied by another user, you may
send a courteous message asking the user to disconnect/release the USB device. You
may do this by right-clicking on the USB device icon, and then you can select “Request
Remote to Disconnect”. A message will then be sent to the user requesting that they
disconnect from the USB device.
Remark:
After a system reboot, you might not be able to connect to any USB device for a short period
of time. When right-clicking on an USB device, you will see the following message instead of
the option to “
Connect
”.
Note:
If the occupying user denies this request, then you will not be able to send any further
requests to the same user for 5 minutes. This is to prevent any user from flooding the
occupying user will multiple requests within a short period of time.
