User Interface - USB Device Status

Each USB device displayed in USB Redirector has its own status icon. USB device status depends on whether it is a local device (on the "Local USB devices available for sharing" tab) or remote device (on the "Remote USB Device available for connection" tab). You can find out the status by looking at the icon next to the device.
