Peripheral Server Installation Guide (Rev. A) – Page 6 

Using the Configuration Utility Program 

The Peripheral Server Configuration Utility displays Concentrators grouped by subnet. The Utility 
automatically discovers Concentrators on your local subnet. To discover Concentrators on other 
networks, you must add their networks address to the Discovery list. Select “Discovery List” from 
the “Edit” menu. Add Subnet addresses to the  Discovery List Manager. For example, to add the 
Class C network 10.21.1, you must enter 10.21.1.255. Note that your routers must be configured 
to pass subnet broadcasts.

File Menu: Preferences 

Allows you to disable or modify the frequency in which the utility updates its discovered 
concentrator list. Enables the logging of driver events to the system event log and allows you to 
uninstall the drivers  

 

Edit Menu: Connection List 

Contains the IP addresses of the Peripheral Server concentrators to which this Host PC will try to 
connect. When an IP address is added to this list, the Host PC immediately tries to connect to the 
concentrator. If an IP address in this list is deleted, all USB devices attached to this concentrator 
will be removed from this Host PC.
