4.9. Request to Connect
If a USB device is manually connected by any other user, basically you cannot connect that device. However,
we offer another mechanism called “Request to Connect” to solve this inconvenience. For example, there are
two computers – PC1 and PC2. Now the owner of “HP LaserJet P2015” is PC1. Then, the PC2 computer wants
to use this HP printer. The user on the PC2 computer can click the “Request to Connect” button in the
ShareHub Device Servers Control Center. The following window appears.
At this moment, the user on the PC1 will see the following window, indicating that another computer – PC2 is
requesting to use the HP printer.
The user will choose to accept or reject. If accepted, the ShareHub Device Servers Control Center on PC1 will
automatically disconnect the device and the ShareHub Device Servers Control Center on PC2 will automatically
connect that device.
4.10. Quitting the ShareHub Device Servers Control Center
The ShareHub Device Servers Control Center doesn’t really quit if you click the “X” box (close box) at the top
right corner of the window. Instead, it just minimizes itself to the system tray. There are two ways to really
close the ShareHub Device Servers Control Center. The first way is choosing “Exit” item in the “File” menu in
the ShareHub Device Servers Control Center. The second way is right-clicking the icon of the ShareHub Device
Servers Control Center in the system tray and choosing the “Exit” item.
