4. Enter the following:
n Search for Hubs every .... sec: Specifies how often the AnywhereUSB Manager
searches the local network to discover AnywhereUSB® Plus Hubs and refresh the
AnywhereUSB Manager display.
Note You cannot manually perform a refresh of the Hubs displayed in the
AnywhereUSB Manager.
n Wait for Hub response for .... sec: Specifies the time interval from the last discovery
refresh that the AnywhereUSBManager will stop looking for more Hubs.
n Send Keep-Alive every ... sec: Specifies how often the AnywhereUSB Manager sends
a keepalive request to the Hubs connected to the network. This impacts network
utilization because each AnywhereUSB Manager will send one packet at this interval to
each Hub to which it is connected.
n Keep-Alive Timeout ... sec: Specifies how long the AnywhereUSB Manager should
wait for a keepalive response. When the value of the response time is reached, the
Manager decides that a Hub is no longer available, and the computer is disconnected
from all groups and devices on that Hub.
l The keepalive timeout value would need to be longer if the network has more
latency (such as a cellular or satellite link), or an internet link with unreliable packet
delivery.
l If the value is too short, devices will be disconnected, which may have an adverse
affect on some devices, such as USB memory.
l If the value is too long, Hubs that are removed from the network will not be noticed
as gone for a long time, and devices that are no longer connected will be
unresponsive for a long time.

Manage Hub credentials
You can manually add, update, or remove the certificate associated with Hub on the
AnywhereUSBManager. The Hub and the AnywhereUSBManager must have matching certificates
to be able to communicate.
This feature works with the Auto-register Hub Cert option in the Preferences dialog. You should
determine whether you want to automatically register a Hub's certificate with the
AnywhereUSBManager.
Enable and disable the auto-register Hub certificate
You can choose to automatically find Hubs connected to the network when AnywhereUSBManager
launches.
