zDC Jack and Terminal Blocks Power Connectors: A 7V~24V DC
Power is required for this product. Power is supplied from either the
DC Jack or the Terminal Blocks, but not both at the same time.
zRJ45 Ethernet Connector: 10/100Mbps Ethernet port. It supports
auto cross-over feature. You can use the same cable to connect
to either a Hub/Switch or a host computer.
zLED Indicators: There are 4 LAN LEDs on the rear panel. They are
described as the following table:
LED Name Color LED Function
100M
Green Steady on: Ethernet Speed = 100Mbps Off: Ethernet Speed = 10Mbps
Act
Green Blinking: Transferring Ethernet Data Off: No Data Transferring on Ethernet
Conn
Green Blinking: When the unit is loading firmware Steady On: The firmware load completed
and ready to connect Ethernet
FDX
Green When On, indicates the Ethernet Operates in the Full Duplex Mode
1. Use static electricity discharge precautions.
Remove possible static discharge potential from any objects that
the Adapter may come in contact with before installation. This
can be accomplished by touching a bare metal chassis rail after
you have turned off the power.
2. Attached the DC power source: there are 2 connectors can be
added the power to the unit. One is the DC Jack (by the AC /DC
Adapter) and the other is the 2-pin terminal blocks.
3. Connecting LAN cable: Use a standard straight-through Ethernet
cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. If you connect the USB
Server to your computer’s Ethernet port instead, you don’t need
to change to a cross-over type cable since the Adapter provides
auto cross-over feature.
4. Connect the USB Server’s USB ports to your USB devices.
3. Hardware Installation

Typical Connection Diagram:
The USB Server comes with user friendly client software which maps USB
devices connected to the USB server onto the local host machine. To
access the USB devices on the USB Server, each Client PC should install
this utility. We call it USB IP Admin Software Utility.
This GUI Utility provides Device Mapping functionality for a user to
connect and disconnect various devices found on the network. It also
includes a Server Manager that lists and provides option to configure
various setting on the USB server remotely.
The Utility was shipped in a Install Shield in the following folder on the
driver CD:

if they are connected local to your PC. By this implementation, USB devices connected to
USB Server can be made available to remote Clients over LAN.
Key Features of the USB-IP application are
zAllows USB Devices to be used and shared by client PC's over LAN.
zSupports wide variety of USB devices.
zCompatible with bulk, interrupt and isochronous type USB devices.
zSupports both Ethernet and WiFi networks.
zSupports printing to USB printer from both Wired and Wireless Interface.

2. Windows utility
USBIP Admin utility Setup is an Install Shield based application, which can be used for
installing, uninstalling and upgrading the USBI Client S/W. Please run the self-explanatory
Install shield application to install the USBIP Admin Utility.
Admin utility application enables the USB devices virtualization along with USB Server
Firmware loaded onto USB Server. Any USB device connected to the USB Server can be
made available over the Network, for different Windows hosts to use the device. USB Server
supports monopoly type connection i.e USB device connected to the USB Server can be
accessed by one host at a time. Other Windows host can access this USB device, once first
host relinquishes the connection. Different Windows hosts can access different USB devices
connected to the USB Server.
Eg : If USB Pen Drive, USB Audio device, USB 1.1 Web Cam & USB DVD Rom drive are
connected to the USB Server. Then PC1 can access Pen Drive, PC2 can access Audio device,
PC3 can access Web Cam & PC4 can access DVD ROM drive.
Pen Drive can be accessed by PC2 or PC3 or PC4, once PC1 relinquishes the connection.
In-case of Printers, USB Server application’s Auto Reconnect feature enables multiple
Windows hosts to use the Printer simultaneously.
The USB Server & all the Windows Hosts need to be connected to same LAN & under same IP
subnet for above.
2.1 Virtual USB-IP Driver Software
This contains a Virtual Bus Enumerator driver & Virtual Bus driver. These drivers will help in
virtualizing the USB devices attached on the USB-Server.
Virtual Bus driver takes the USB traffic from the USB Client drivers on Windows Host and passes
it to the USB-Server which is sitting remotely on the network.
As soon as the utility is installed this application will be placed in the system tray as shown in
the figure below.
Double click the icon on the system tray to view the Full screen mode of the PC client
application as shown below.

them
2. Function Panel: This panel enables to switch between the Device Mapping and Server
Manager Application.
3. Server/Device Details Panel: This displays the more information of the server and the
device selected on the main window.
4. Log panel: Any event on the USB server creates a log in the Log panel. This helps in
continuous monitoring of USB device servers on the network.
The USBIP Admin Utility has two main functionalities built in
zDevice Mapping
zServer Manager
2.2 Device Mapping
Device Mapping enables virtualization of all USB Devices connected to the USB Server on to
your PC, over LAN.

Servers by it’s IP address on the network. As soon as the USB Server’s box is detected with a
specific IP address the Windows automatically invokes a Found New Hardware Wizard to
install the drivers for the USB server box. Continue the Installation to see the USB Server and
the USB devices connected in the Admin utility as shown below.
NOTE: For proper enumeration of device, disable the Firewall option on the Windows PC.
