Disconnect from a group

You can disconnect from a group that has ports you no longer need access to. You are disconnected from all USB devices and ports in that group. Any other user can then connect to that group.

Warnings

• Auto-connect: If you have auto-connect enabled for the group, you are not allowed to disconnect from the group. You have to first disable auto-connect, and then disconnect from the group. The next time you log in to your computer, you will not be automatically connected to this group.

• Power cycle on disconnect: The power cycle on disconnect feature ensures that when a group is disconnected from a Hub, the Hub turns off power to all of the USB ports in the group and then one second later turns it back on. This feature is globally enabled by default on the Hub, so to be able to disconnect from a group, you need to globally disable the power cycle on disconnect feature.

To disconnect from a group:

1. Open AnywhereUSB Manager.
2. Ensure you are able to disconnect from a group.
   1. Disable auto-connect for a group.
   2. Disable the power cycle on disconnect feature.
3. Expand AnywhereUSB Hubs to display the Hubs.
4. Expand a Hub to display the groups in the Hub.
5. Right-click on the group from which you want to disconnect.
6. Select Disconnect from Group. A note appears in the Group Status pane to show that the group is not being used.
