6 Using the Configuration Utility Program This chapter explains how to use the AnywhereUSB Configuration Utility. Configuration Utility Main Window The AnywhereUSB Configuration Utility displays AnywhereUSB devices grouped by their subnet addresses. The Utility automatically discovers AnywhereUSB devices on the local subnet; to discover devices on other subnets, add those subnet addresses to the Discovery List (see Section 7 Discovering AnywhereUSB Devices on Other Subnets).
Icon Color Legend: Green—Available For Connection Gray, Bold Text—Connected to this computer. Gray—In use by other host PC. Red—Firmware is being updated. AnywhereUSB IP Address has not yet been configured, or is configured to connect to a nonexistent Group in the case it is a multi-host connections enabled device. Note: After the AnywhereUSB Configuration Utility has been launched it will reside in the system tray. To open the utility, double click the AnywhereUSB icon in the system tray.
The Use Microsoft Device IDs option changes how the AnywhereUSB software creates the Device ID for attached USB devices. A Device ID consists of 3 parts: the name of the bus driver, the Product Identifier, and a unique serial number.
Edit Menu: Connection List Displays the IP addresses of the AnywhereUSB to which the PC will try to connect. When an IP Address is added to this list, the host PC immediately tries to connect to the AnywhereUSB. If an IP Address is deleted from the Connection List, the AnywhereUSB unit will disconnect from the host PC and return to an “Available for Host Connection” state.
Edit Menu: Discovery List Displays a list of subnet addresses of remote networks or IP Addresses of individual units where the configuration utility will search for AnywhereUSB units.
Command Menu: Configure This dialog configures the Device Name and IP address properties of the AnywhereUSB unit. Checking the Add to connection list box adds the IP address to the connection list. The Remote Hub field allows for a unique name to be given to the AnywhereUSB. The Configure dialog is device specific and the example below is for the AnywhereUSB/5 G2 model.
Command Menu: Connect This command allows the IP Address of the AnywhereUSB to be added to the connection list once the AnywhereUSB is selected in the Main Window. Command Menu: Event Log This command retrieves event information from AnywhereUSB. Use this to gather information for Technical Support. This dialog is used to save and clear the event log. Note that some models of AnywhereUSB do not support the event log. The Event Log is only available on the AnywhereUSB/5 First Generation model.

View Menu: Driver Information This command displays the version numbers of the AnywhereUSB drivers and firmware and allows for the uninstalling of the drivers. View Menu: Refresh (F5) This command updates the discovered AnywhereUSB listed in the Main Window.
7 Discovering AnywhereUSB Devices on Other Subnets This chapter explains how to enable the Configuration Utility to discover AnywhereUSB units on additional IP subnets. Adding IP addresses to the Discovery List Manager To discover AnywhereUSB devices on other subnets, add their addresses to the Discovery List in the Discovery List Manager Dialog box. 1. Select Discovery List from the Edit menu. 2. Add the Subnet addresses or the IP Address of the individual device to the Discovery List Manager.
8 Using the Web User Interface This chapter describes using the Web user interface’s Configuration, Management, and Administration sections and their corresponding submenus. With the exception of the title of the specific Configuration and Management screen, menus and sub-menus for both models remain the same. This feature is not available on the first generation AWUSB/5 model. Home Page The Home page is displayed when the Web user interface is opened.
The Home Page The left side of the Home page has a list of choices that display pages for Configuration, Management, and Administration tasks, and to logout of the Web interface. Clicking Logout disconnects the configuration and management session with an AnywhereUSB. It does not close the browser window, but displays a logout window. To finish logging out of the Web interface and prevent access by other users, close the browser window. Or, log back on to the device by clicking the link on the screen.
Network Configuration Page View and Change IP Settings, as needed The Ethernet IP Settings page shows how the IP address for the AnywhereUSB is obtained, whether by DHCP or by static IP address, subnet mask, default gateway. Contact your network administrator for more information about these settings, and see the online help.
Several services have a setting for whether TCP keep-alives will be sent for the network services. TCP keep-alives can be configured in more detail on the Advanced Network Settings page. IP Network Failover Settings (AnywhereUSB/14 only) The IP Network Failover feature allows the AnywhereUSB/14 to recover from an Ethernet failure.
DNS Priority is a List of DNS servers in priority order used to resolve computer host names. Each type of server is tried, starting with the first in the list. For each server type, the primary server is tried first. If no response is received, then the secondary server is tried. If neither server can be contacted, the next server type in the list is tried. A network interface may obtain a DNS server from DHCP or other means when it is connected.
Configure Serial Port (AnywhereUSB/14 only) The Serial Ports page configures the serial port settings for the management port on the rear of the AnywhereUSB/14. Configure System Settings The System Configuration page configures System settings, including device description information, such as the device name, contact, and location, and whether SNMP is enabled or disabled and the SNMP traps that are enabled.
Configure SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol that can be used to manage and monitor network devices. Digi devices can be configured to use SNMP features, or SNMP can be disabled entirely for security reasons. To configure SNMP settings, click the Simple Network Management Protocol link at the bottom of the System Configuration page. SNMP settings include: Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): This checkbox enables or disables use of SNMP.
Allow SNMP clients to set device settings through SNMP: This checkbox enables or disables the capability for users to issue SNMP “set” commands uses use of SNMP read-only for the AnywhereUSB. Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps: Enables or disables the generation of SNMP traps. At the bottom of the page are checkboxes for the SNMP traps that can be used: authentication failure, login, cold start, and link up traps.
Configure Remote Management Remote Management Settings The Remote Management configuration page sets up the connection to the Connectware Manager server so the AnywhereUSB knows how to connect to the server. The Connectware Manager server allows devices to be configured and managed from remote locations. In order to properly use this facility, the Connectware Manager server must first be installed on a server system.
Upon configuration of the Connectware Manager server and the Device ID, you must configure the following settings: Connection Settings These settings are used in connecting to the Connectware Manager server. You can choose how your AnywhereUSB connects to and communicates with the Connectware Manager server: through a clientinitiated or a server-initiated connection. In a client-initiated connection, the AnywhereUSB attempts to reach the Connectware Manager server to establish the connection.
Retry if the LKA update fails If enabled, when a LKA update fails, the Digi device server will wait the specified amount of time before retrying the LKA update. Advanced Settings These settings are used in advanced situations and the defaults are typically suitable for most environments. These settings are used to control the keep alive settings of the various interfaces and should only be changed when the defaults do not properly work.

AnywhereUSB User Manual (90001085_F1) 48
Management The Management section displays additional information about the current connections to the AnywhereUSB. The example below lists the RealPort USB connection between the PC and the AnywhereUSB.
Administration Administration tasks need to be performed on the AnywhereUSB such as file management, changing the password used for logging onto the device, backing up and restoring device configurations, updating firmware and Boot/POST code, restoring the device configuration to factory defaults, and rebooting the device. As with device configuration and monitoring, it covers performing administrative tasks through a variety of device interfaces.
AnywhereUSB User Manual (90001085_F1) 51
Backup/Restore Device Configurations Once the AnywhereUSB is configured, backing up the configuration settings is recommended in case problems occur later, firmware is upgraded, or hardware is added. If multiple devices need to be configured, the backup/restore feature can be used as a convenience, where the first device’s configuration settings are backed up to a file, and then the file is loaded onto the other devices.
Update Firmware and Boot/POST Code The firmware and/or Boot/Post code for the AnywhereUSB can be updated from a file on a PC. The AnywhereUSB automatically determines the type of image being uploaded. Before uploading the firmware or the Boot/POST code, it is very important to read the Release Notes supplied with the firmware to check if the Boot/POST code must be updated before updating the firmware. Update Firmware from a File on a PC 1. From the main menu, click Administration > Update Firmware.
Restoring a Device Configuration to Factory Defaults Restoring the AnywhereUSB to its factory default settings clears all current configuration settings. In addition, any files that were loaded into the device through the File Management page are also removed. There are two ways to reset the device configuration of an AnywhereUSB to the factory default settings: from the Web interface and using the front panel reset button. The Restore Factory Defaults operation clears all current settings.
Using the Front Panel Reset Button If the AnywhereUSB cannot be accessed from the Web interface, the configuration can be restored to factory defaults using the Reset button. 1. 2. 3. 4. Power off the AnywhereUSB by unplugging the power. Press the Reset button on the front of the unit. While holding the Reset button, power up the unit. Hold the Reset button for 20 seconds and then release it.
AnywhereUSB User Manual (90001085_F1) 56
Reboot the AnywhereUSB Changes to some device settings require saving the changes and rebooting the AnywhereUSB. To Reboot the Unit: 1. From the Web interface menu, select Administration > Reboot. 2. On the Reboot page, click the Reboot button. Wait approximately 1 minute for the reboot to complete.
9 Multi-Host Connections This chapter describes the Multi-Host Connections feature which is available on the AnywhereUSB/14. AnywhereUSB Configuration The Multi-Host Connections feature allows multiple hosts to establish concurrent connections with the AnywhereUSB unit. Each host PC requests a group of USB ports, where the group assignments have been previously configured on the AnywhereUSB unit. 1.
2. The RealPort USB configuration page allows the user to select which physical USB ports on the AnywhereUSB unit are assigned to which USB Port Groups. By default, all the USB Ports are assigned to Group 1. So a host PC requesting either the Default Group, or Group 1, will take ownership of all of the physical USB ports on the AnywhereUSB unit.
3. In the AnywhereUSB/14 configuration example above, a host PC requesting Group 1 will only be granted access to physical USB Ports 1 through 4. A host PC requesting Group 2 will only be granted access to physical USB Ports 5 through 7. A host PC requesting Group 6 will only be given access to physical USB Port 11, and so on. The USB Ports 12 through 14 are configured as Unassigned, and as a result will not support any attached USB devices.
4. In the example above, the AnywhereUSB/14 unit has been configured to have 14 Groups, each providing access to a single physical USB port. The Default Group has been configured for “Unassigned” which would result in the AnywhereUSB unit rejecting any request from a host PC requesting access to the “Default Group”. 5. In order for the Multi-Host Connections feature to work, both the AnywhereUSB unit and the AnywhereUSB software drivers on the host PC need to support the feature. 6.
PC Configuration Once the AnywhereUSB unit has been configured to support multiple Groups, the host PC needs to be configured to request one of the available Groups on the AnywhereUSB unit in order to establish a connection with the AnywhereUSB unit and take ownership of the USB Ports that are assigned to that Group. 1. The above example is highlighting an AnywhereUSB/14 model that has 14 Groups configured, each Group providing access to a single physical USB Port on the AnywhereUSB unit. 2.
3. By default the host PC will request Group “0” (the Default Group). If this configuration isn’t appropriate for the AnywhereUSB unit, simply select the desired Group number, and then click “Update”. 4.
5. The PC will request Group 4 when establishing a connection with this particular AnywhereUSB unit. 6. Clicking the “Connect to Group 4” entry will initiate the connection process between the host PC and the selected AnywhereUSB/14 unit. 7.
8. In the event the host PC requests a Group that is not configured on the AnywhereUSB unit, the host PC Connection Status will display something similar to the following indicating that the selected Group is not configured on the given AnywhereUSB unit (see below). In the above example, the Host List section on the right-side of the Configuration Utility indicates that Groups 1 through 7 have been configured on the AnywhereUSB unit.
10 Configuring via the Command Line This chapter explains how to configure the AnywhereUSB using the command prompt. Configuring an AnywhereUSB through the commandline interface consists of entering a series of commands to set values in the device. The Digi Connect Family Command Reference describes the commands used to configure, monitor, administer, and operate Digi devices. This feature is not available on the first generation AWUSB/5.
