Activating a Connection

To connect a USB device to the client, a point-to-point-connection is established between the client and the USB port of the UTN or INU server to which the USB device is connected. The USB device can then be used as if it were directly connected to the client.

As long as the connection is exists, no other user can establish a connection between the client and the USB device and use it. (Licence terms of dongles are thus never changed, circumvented, or eliminated).

 

 

Important:

Special case of compound USB devices

When connecting certain USB devices to a USB port of the UTN or INU server, the selection list displays several USB devices on this port. These are compound USB devices. They consist of a hub and one or more USB devices that are all integrated into a single housing.

If the connection is established to a port with a connected compound USB device, all USB devices shown will be connected to the user's client. In this case, each integrated USB device occupies a virtual USB port of the UTN or INU server. The number of these virtual USB ports is limited depending on the device. If the limit is reached, no further USB devices can be used on this UTN or INU server.

    All provisions (driver installation, etc.) necessary to operate the USB device locally (i.e. connected directly to the client) have been met on the client. Ideally, the USB device has been connected and operated on the client locally according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
