USB Hub

Hi,
 
We are looking at purchasing your product for use in our business but have encountered a small issue.
 
We will be using the product to share a number of the same devices that have different functionality accross the network. When I plug in two dongles into our hub and give one of them a nickname it gives all similar devices the same nickname.
 
Is the product able to give similar devices different nicknames?
 
Hope this makes sense.
 
Thanks in advance
Chris

Hi Chris,
 
Ah, I see. That's some limitations on the Nickname in the current version. Nickname can be assigned to the group of USB devices of the same type. It means that you cannot assign different nicknames for 2 the same USB devices.
But there is still possibility to recognize 2 USB devices from the client side. You can see Device ID 4 digits for each USB device, e.g. 0001, 0023 and so on. This is unique digit that depends on USB device and the number of USB port it's plugged it.
 
How to use it. For example, you need to configure ClientA for connecting USB device plugged into first USB port, and ClientB for connecting USB device plugged into another USB port.
 
Please plug first USB device on Sever, share it, and remember ID. E.g. ID is 0001.
Then plug the second device and remember ID. E.g. ID is 0003.
 
Now just go to first client, click on USB device with ID 0001, click connect it, and enable "Connect device by Device ID" option.
 
Then go to the second client and configure the same but for Device with Device ID 0003.
 
As result each client will connect only specified USB device.
 
Chris, I hope that's clear Smiley In any case, we'll allow to specify different nicknames for the same USB devices in the nearest future.
 
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
 
Cannot provide you with the actual dates. We have several requests for that feature from our current customers, so we decided to implement it.
 
Thanks!
