SharePort Utility allows you to connect your PC to a USB device that is connected to a device server. Use SharePort Utility when you connect/disconnect to/from the USB device.
SharePort Utility enables you to have your computer automatically connected to USB printers and you can control it from your system tray, by clicking the application's icon.
Here are some key features of "SharePort Utility":
Easy to Use:
· You only have to select the USB device in SharePort Utility and click the Connect button.
· The USB device will be available to your PC as if it was directly connected to your PC. When finished using the USB device, click the Disconnect button in SharePort Utility.
Printer Auto Connection:
· When you print to a USB printer, SharePort Utility will automatically connect your PC to the printer. When the print job is complete, SharePort Utility will disconnect your PC from the USB printer. Thus, you will not have to manually connect/disconnect to/from the USB printer using SharePort Utility.
· You can configure this setting at the message which pops up from SharePort Utility when a new printer is found on your network, or from the properties dialog accessible from SharePort Utility.
Allows Control from the Task tray:
· The minimized menu window in the task tray will allow you to connect/disconnect to/from USB devices without displaying SharePort Utility's main window
Send a Remote Message to Another User to Request for Disconnect:
· When you are sharing a USB device with several users and one of them occupies the USB device for a long time, you can request to the user to disconnect the device by sending a remote message. If the user accepts the disconnect request, the right of use is automatically passed down to you, so that you can use the USB device.
Operating Settings for Each USB Device:
· The operational settings such as Start designated application when connected or Automatically connect this device when it is available (Sharing disabled) can be configured for each USB device.
