Using the ENNUS1 Server

4.1Introduction

The goal of this product is to provide connectivity to USB devices from a single server. A new technology, “NetUSB”, has been developed to achieve this goal. “NetUSB” is a “USB over IP” technology that transparently redirects all USB packets to a TCP/IP network channel. “NetUSB” allows you to use remote USB devices as if they are connected directly to your PC.

4.2Connect & Disconnect

“NetUSB” allows you to use remote USB devices as if they are connected directly to your PC. The “connect” operation is a software operation that simulates an actual USB device plug-in. That is to say, when you do a “connect” operation in the Control Center, PC can then detect a USB device’s plug-in, although actually you do not plug in any USB device. Similarly, the “disconnect” operation is a software operation that simulates the disconnection of the USB device. Once the connect operation is successful, the operations to use that USB device are just the same as if the USB device is directly connected to the PC.

If a USB device is “connected” by a PC, we say that PC has the ownership of the USB device. Only one PC can get the ownership of a USB device at the same time. Therefore, if a USB device is connected by one PC, no other PC can connect this USB device until this USB device is disconnected.

4.3Subnet Issue

Before using the NetUSB technology, you must first make sure that your PC can access ENNUS1 server via TCP/IP. The simplest way to do this is using “Control Center” to search for ENNUS1 server on the network and change its IP address to be the same subnet as your PC. If the ENNUS1 server and your PC are not in the same TCP/IP subnet, Control Center will show the ENNUS1 server in green, as in the following figure.
