Create groups and assign to client IDs
For each Hub, the Hub administrator can assign a number of USB ports to a group. The Hub
administrator can also assign groups to client IDs. Groups are created and assigned to client IDs in the
AnywhereUSB
page in the web UI.
When the client ID connects to a Hub, the computer is allowed to access the ports in the groups
assigned to the client ID. The same groups can be assigned to more than one client ID on a Hub. Note
that connecting to a group is exclusive and only one client can connect to a group at a time.

If a group has ports assigned to it, the group will display in the

device is not connected to a port. You can reassign the unused ports in a group so the group does not
