“NetUSB” allows you to use USB devices as if they were connected directly to your PC although they are actually remotely connected to the 601/601n/604/604n USB device server. The “connect” operation is a software operation that simulates an actual USB device plug-in.
Installation of USB Device Driver Some USB devices, like printers or MFPs (multifunction printers), require to install vendor-supplied driver (usually on CDROM). For those USB devices that do not need to install driver, please skip this section. Insert the CDROM into the CD drive and run the “autorun” program. Follow the instructions of the installation program to install driver.
Now, the installation program will detect the USB device and continue to install driver. After the installation is completed, click the USB device in the Control Center and then click the “Disconnect” button to disconnect the USB device. Now the driver of your USB device is installed. Using the USB Device Server A.
Now, PC will detect the plug-in of the USB device. The “connect” operation is a software operation that simulates an actual USB device plug-in.
