Hi Michael,
I have a question on how are USB port numbers assigned when using multiple devices. I'm using Linux server/CloudHub (GL-MT300N-V2) and Windows as the client. I am using a 4-port USB hub with 2 connected devices.
If I "use" a device, it gets location '1' and afterwards if I use the 2nd device, it gets location '2'. What happens if I set both AUTO-USE to use both devices and reboot the client? Will the devices get locations in some pre-determined order which will be always the same after multiple reboots?
If the order is random, would this registry entry force the devices to have proper order? https://www.virtualhere.com/content/how-statically-assign-usb-port-numb…
.
On the server, each port has a unique address. That is then assigned to a device on the server side.
When you use a device it will plug it into the first available virtual usb port on the client side. So if you auto-use the order is not deterministic so it could be port 1 or port 2
You can use https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html to see all the virtual ports on the client and which one is used for a particular device. You can make the registry change above if you want to put it in a particular virtual port. The device address assigned is always unique and fixed so you can just map that to the virtual port you want.
