Setting up HP Device Bridge 3
HP Device Bridge allows two host computers to connect to a single monitor and enables a single keyboard and
mouse to control both host computers by switching from one computer to the other. The software also allows
you to move files and data from one host computer to the other.
HP Device Bridge is available for the following platforms and must be installed and active on both host
computers for the software to work properly:

Keep these considerations in mind when using HP Device Bridge:
1. VM simulation systems are not supported.
2. HP Device Bridge works only on select USB host ports.

mode, unplug both upstream ports, restart the software on both computers, and re-plug both upstream
ports to return to normal operation.
