NETWORK-ATTACHED
USB HUB

ANYWHEREUSB

Network-attached USB hub connects USB
peripheral devices anywhere on a LAN –
without a locally-attached host PC

®

AnywhereUSB products are network-attached USB hubs that
connect USB peripheral devices to a PC over a Local Area
Network. The AnywhereUSB TS model also adds four RS-232
serial ports, enabling the mixing of USB and serial ports over
the same network connection.

The AnywhereUSB soware drivers are loaded onto a host PC
or server so that USB devices attached to the AnywhereUSB
hub may communicate with the host PC without changing
existing device application soware. AnywhereUSB drivers
work equally well on physical servers or virtual machines
in virtualized environments. Peripheral USB devices can be

– Network-attached USB hub easily connects remote USB
devices to a LAN

– Ideal for connecting USB devices over the network in

virtualized environments such as VMware®

– AnywhereUSB/14 rack mountable product has two

built-in power supplies and two Ethernet connections for
redundancy

– Access and monitor USB and serial devices over a
TCP/IP connection

– Compatible with bulk or interrupt type USB devices

– Multi-Host connections (on select models)

centrally managed and monitored from a remote server or
PC. The Multi-Host Connections feature allows multiple host
PCs to establish connections with the AnywhereUSB hub
concurrently, where each PC takes ownership of a group of
USB ports on the AnywhereUSB hub.

Relocating the host PC to a remote location translates to
smaller workstations, enabling deployment without a local
PC in kiosks, ATMs, restaurant kitchens, manufacturing lines
or any hostile or non-secure area where having a local PC is
not practical.

USB storage devices and USB modems are not supported.
Digi’s Edgeport/1 USB-to-serial converter may be used to connect a serial modem.
