Technical Data; Maintenance And Cleaning - Conrad USB2.0 Server Mode D'emploi

Connection to a USB device
The provided software has to be installed on every PC that will have access to the
USB device connected to the USB server.
Due to the principle used, only one computer can use the USB device connected to the USB
server. The USB server works similarly, as if the USB device was connected directly to the PC.
If another user wants to have access to the device, select the option „ Request Remote to dis-
connect" by right-clicking on the USB server in the software.
A system message „.....has requested that you disconnect. Would you like to disconnect"
appears on the computer presently connected to the USB device. If „Yes" is clicked and the pres-
ent connection to the USB server is disconnected and the other user can connect to the USB
device connected to the USB server.
Miscellaneous

• Suitable USB devices
The USB server allows the connection and operation of any USB device. Depending on the
USB driver, problems may occur if the USB driver does not require a direct USB connection.
The provided software emulates the direct connection; i.e. there is no difference for most driv-
ers, if the USB device is directly connected to the computer or operated via the USB server.
Due to the multitude of USB devices, we cannot guarantee that every USB device is suitable
for connection to the USB server! In this case, the USB device needs to be connected, as usu-
al, directly to a USB connection of the computer and not to the USB server.
• Password:
Access to the connected USB device can be safeguarded by a password.
If you forget the password, the USB server can be reset to default settings with the button
„RESET", see below.
• Restoring default settings:
The USB server can be reset to default setting as follows:
Press the counter-sunk „RESET" button e.g. with a toothpick for 10 seconds. Consequently,
the USB server is reset to the default settings; you can release the „RESET"-button. The USB
server requires up to 30 seconds for a restart.
• Power supply for the external drive
The provided power supply unit has an output current of 2A so that e.g. hard discs without
internal power supply (6.35cm/2.5") can be operated.
• Software
The provided software has to be installed on every PC that has access to the USB device at
the USB server.
There can be only one connection at the same time. The simultaneous access of (e.g.) two
computers to the USB device connected to the USB server is not possible.
