USB to Ethernet Connector is a professional solution, which allows sharing any number of USB ports and devices on your computer over LAN/WAN/VLAN/VPN/Internet. Remote computers (clients) can connect to your computer (server) and communicate with USB devices, plugged into shared remote ports, as if those devices were connected directly to client computers. All applications that work with remote USB devices won't see the difference and will treat them as local ones. As USB to Ethernet Connector shares USB ports, not devices themselves, you can plug any USB device into shared USB port, then unplug this device and plug in another one, and it will automatically appear at the remote client side without any additional configuration.
With USB to Ethernet Connector you can:
• Share any number of USB devices
• Freely unplug USB device and plug in another one into shared USB port on the server — the device will automatically appear on the client
• Give custom names to your USB devices (label them) to let clients easily identify them
• Set authorization password and enable traffic encryption
• Disable current connection from the server side
• Access remote shared USB devices from virtual machine, remote desktop or blade server
• Access remote shared USB devices via Wi-Fi
• Two types of connection with remote devices are available: "Connect" and "Connect once", the latter allowing client to establish one-time connection without attempts to restore it if broken
• See who currently occupies shared USB device from other clients' side
