Manually add a client ID
You can manually add client IDs to the client list. When a computer searches for Hubs, any computer
with a client ID on the client list can connect to the Hub.
Note You can have up to 24 client IDs in the client list.
After you have added a client ID, the certificate is unavailable until the first time the computer with
the new client ID connects to the Hub. When the computer connects to the Hub for the first time, the
identity certificates are exchanged between the computer and the Hub. After the initial connection,
only that computer with the client ID and unique identity certificate is able to connect to the Hub. Any
other computer with the same client IDwill be rejected. For information about computers with the
same client ID, see AnywhereUSBManager client IDis not unique.
WARNING! After you have manually added a client ID to the list, Digi recommends that
you use a private network to connect the computer to the Hub and then to verify the
initial connection. If you do not use a private network, and the same client ID is assigned
to both a known and an unknown computer, there is a risk of misidentification. In this
situation, an unknown computer may connect to the Hub before the known computer
does, resulting in the wrong computer being allowed to connect to your Hub.
Note Digi recommends de-selecting the Automatically Register Unknown Clients option if you
choose to manually add multiple client IDs to the client list. See Automatically reject unknown clients.
