applying your changes or you can also restore the USB Server to factory settings.

Server Name/Server Config Password
Edit the Server Name field to change the name of the selected
USB Server. This name will appear to anyone using the Keyspan
USB Server application.
Adding a password in the Server Config Password field will
force users to enter a password before they can edit any server
settings. Once you have set a password, users will still be able to
see the USB Server in the USB Devices and Admin tabs however
they will not be able to edit any server settings.
Device Connect Mode
The Direct Connect Mode pop-up menu allows you to change how
USB devices get connected to your client PCs.
Multi-User (default setting) : Use this mode if you have more
than one client computer connected to the Keyspan USB Server.
Prior to using your USB device (ie printer, scanner, etc.), you
will have to click the USB Devices tab's CONNECT button.
USB devices will shared on a one-user-at-a-time basis. Use this
mode if you have more than one client PC and if all attached USB
devices will be used as subscription devices.
Single-User : Use this mode if there is only one client computer
(or if only one client computer will be powered on at a time and
connected) to the Keyspan USB Server. In this mode it is not
necessary to manually connect and disconnect USB devices. All
devices on the USB Server will be automatically connected to the
client computer. WARNING: Using this mode with multiple
computers will cause unexpected results as all of the computers
will attempt to get exclusive access to your USB Server.
MACINTOSH NOTE :
This menu is called MODE in the Mac version.
