#4: USB Filters
A USB filter is a series of "AND" conditional statements. So when you're filling in the filter values, you're telling the filter:A blank filter (not recommended!) will match anything, which is good if the device appears as a composite, i.e. presents as a number of different devices all connected at once. However the danger of a blank filter is the potential to grab the wrong device, e.g. you do not want to grab the host's USB keyboard and assign it to the guest! If you have a problem with the wrong device being grabbed then you'll need to add just enough information to the filter so that it matches your device only. But don't define the filter too narrowly, as that can lead to problems too. That's why your safest bet for a basic filter is to fill in the VendorID and ProductID only.Capture a device with this VendorID, AND that ProductID, AND ...
That's really interesting, because *I* am the one that wrote the FAQ, and I simply quoted the FAQ, I didn't add or subtract anything, I just highlighted some things...JoTaPe wrote:I have read parts of T official FM, but your answer here in the forum looks a better one to my problem.
I do not like repeating myself, that's why I spent *a lot* of time writing the FAQ. The least you could do is spend 1/2 hour to read it properly, all the answers are there, in the #4: USB Filters section. But, please read the whole thread...JoTaPe wrote:What about the second part of my assertion ?
