7.1 USB Over IP
7.1.1 Using the USB Device Server
Introduction
NetUSB is a USB over IP technology that transparently redirects all USB packets to a TCP/IP network channel. The technol-
ogy allows a USB device to be used as if it were connected directly to a PC when actually the USB device is remotely con-
nected to the ESR600H/ESR750H Dual Concurrent Wireless Router.
Connect & Disconnect
Connecting to a USB device with the EnGenius USB Control Center simulates plugging a USB device into a PC. Similarly,
disconnecting a USB device simulates unplugging a USB device from a PC. Once connected, the USB device can be used
as if it were physically connected to the PC. Only one PC can connect to the USB device at a time so no other PC can con-
nect this USB device until the USB device is disconnected.
Subnet Issue
In order for a PC to use the NetUSB technology, both the PC and USB device server must be on the same subnet. To deter-
mine the USB device server’s subnet, open the Control Centre software let it search for available devices. All available USB
device servers are listed in the control center. If a server is not on the same subnet as the PC, the server is highlighted in red.
If the server is on the same subnet, it is highlighted in blue and can be used with NetUSB. To configure the USB device server
to be on the same subnet as the PC, modify the device server’s IP address to use the same subnet or switch the server to use
DHCP mode.
