4: Using USB Devices on the Network
UBox User Guide 21
To use a 13th USB device, disconnect one of your 12 USB devices using the
Lantronix UBox software to free a location for the next USB device.
To have more than eight UBoxes, configure your next eight UBoxes to use a different
UDP port (see 5: Changing the UBox's Settings). Once you have done this, use the
Local Settings tab to switch between your first eight UBoxes and your next eight
UBoxes (see 6: Changing Local Software Settings).
UBox Groups on Multiple UDP Ports
One PC can use groups of UBoxes attached to multiple UDP ports. For example,
PC#1 could use 3 groups of UBoxes using 3 different UDP Ports, and PC#2 could
use 2 of the three allowing PC#2 to share some but not all servers.
PC Connectivity to UBoxes and UBS Devices

Up to 50 USB devices per PC by means of multiple UDP ports.
Up to 30 UBoxes per PC at the same time, by different UDP ports Summary
