2-3 USB Device Support
USB Over IP Admin client software is based on open
architecture, wherein the USB over IP box virtualizes the
connected USB devices onto the remote client. The
Client, installed on the remote host, interacts with the
USB over IP box and enables remote access. In this
approach, device drivers of the connected USB device
are installed on the remote host only, as if the device is
connected to it's USB ports.
