Cycle the power to a USB device connected to the Hub from the AnywhereUSB Manager

This feature enables you to cycle the power to a selected USB device from the AnywhereUSB Manager.

The USB device can be connected directly to the AnywhereUSB Hub or to a downstream USB hub. Cycling the power has the same effect as removing the USB device from the Hub and then reconnecting it. When you use this feature, the power supplied by the port to the USB device is turned off for 1 second and then turned on. The USB device you choose to power cycle must be assigned to a group that you are allowed to access.

If an externally powered USB device (one that is not powered by the Hub) is connected to the Hub, the power cycle feature may have no effect on the USB device.

Note You can also cycle the power to a selected USB device using the power cycle CLI command.

Note Additional power cycle methods are available. See Power cycle feature.

  1. Open AnywhereUSB Manager.
  2. Expand the Hub and group to which the USB device is connected.
  3. Right-click on the USB device and click Power Cycle Device. The power supplied to the port to the USB device is turned off for 1 second and then turned on.
