Name groups and assign ports to a group

Each USB port on the AnywhereUSB Plus is assigned to a group in the AnywhereUSB Manager. By default, all ports are assigned to Group 1. You can update the default name for each group, and then configure the USB ports into the desired groups.

The number of groups available matches the number of USB ports on the Hub. Each port can only be assigned to one group. If you do not want a port assigned to any group, you can assign that port to the Unassigned row that displays beneath the list of groups.

If a group has ports assigned to it, the group will display in the AnywhereUSB Manager, even if a USB device is not connected to a port.

Note During normal use, you may experience a time in which none of the ports in a group have a USB device connected to them. If you don't want groups with unused ports to display in the AnywhereUSB Manager, you can reassign all of the ports in a group to a different group. Once the group does not have any ports assigned to it, that group will not display. See Hide a group in the AnywhereUSB Manager.

To create a group and assign USB ports to the group:

1. Open the web UI.
2. Select System > Configuration > AnywhereUSB Configuration. The AnywhereUSB Configuration page appears.
3. Expand the Group Settings section.
4. In the Group Description field, update the name of a group. This name displays in the Group Name field in the Group Status pane in the Anywhere USB Manager.
5. In the row for the group, select the ports for that group. Each port on a Hub can be assigned to only one group. Ports that are not assigned to a group can be put in the Unassigned group.
6. Repeat the steps 4 and 5 for each group that you want to name and to which you want to add ports.
7. Click Apply to save the changes.
