Autofind Hubs in the AnywhereUSB Manager

The Autofind Hubs feature in the AnywhereUSB Manager enables the Manager to create a list of Hubs to which the Manager may be able to connect. The Manager repeatedly reaches out to the network to create this list, based on the interval specified in the Preferences dialog.

• If this option is enabled, the list of Hubs consists of the Hubs found on the network and the Hubs in the Manager's Known Hub list.

• If this option is disabled, the list of Hubs includes only the Hubs included in the Manager's Known Hub list.

When the Manager attempts to connect to a Hub in the list, the Hub provides a certificate. If the Manager doesn't have the Hub's certificate, the Manager's connection outcome depends on the status of the Auto-register Hub Cert option. Review the list below for connection scenarios.

• If the Hub's certificate matches the certificate stored with the Manager, then the Manager connects to the Hub.

• If the Manager doesn't have the Hub's certificate and Auto-register Hub Cert is enabled, the Manager stores the Hub certificate and connects to the Hub.

• If the Manager doesn't have the Hub's certificate and Auto-register Hub Cert is disabled, the Manager rejects the connection the Hub.

1. Open AnywhereUSB Manager.
