Disconnect from a USB device in a group

You can disconnect from a USB device that is in a group.

Note To ensure that you can no longer connect to a USB device in a group, the best method is to move the port to a group on the Hub to which you are not connected. See Name groups and assign ports to a group.

Warnings

• Auto-connect: If you have auto-connect enabled for the group, you are not allowed to disconnect from a USB device in the group until you disable auto-connect. If the USB device is in a group to which you are connected, other users cannot connect the USB device after you have disconnected from it, since you still own the group that the USB device is in. See Disable auto-connect for a group.

• Power cycle on disconnect: If you have the power cycle on disconnect feature enabled, the Hub automatically cycles the power to each USB device when it disconnects. To ensure that a USB device remains disconnected, you must disable this feature. See Cycle the power to a device when it disconnects from a PC.
