Verify your components

Verify that you have all included equipment. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your supplier.
Note A loose label sticker that includes the unique device password is included in the box. Retain this label sticker with your hardware records.
This default password will be needed if the device is factory reset and you want to access the web UI on the device or register the device with
Digi Remote Manager®. If the device was already registered with Remote Manager at the time of the factory reset, you do not need the unique
password to access the device in Remote Manager.

Connect the hardware

a. Connect one end of a standard Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the AnywhereUSB device and the other end to the
Ethernet port on a switch.
b. Connect the power supply (or power cord for the AnywhereUSB/14) to the power connector on the back of the AnywhereUSB device and
the other end into a wall outlet. For the AnywhereUSB/14, you can use either power connector on the back of the device.

Download and install the software

You need a Microsoft Windows computer (host computer) to download the driver software. The driver includes the AnywhereUSB Remote Hub
Configuration Utility, which enables you to use and configure your AnywhereUSB device.
1. From the host computer, navigate to www.digi.com/support/AnywhereUSB, and click the Drivers tab under Product Support.
2. Select your operating system from the drop-down list, then download the AnywhereUSB driver software. The AnywhereUSB Remote Hub
Configuration Utility opens after installation.
4 Assign a static IP address
By default, AnywhereUSB devices use DHCP to obtain IP addresses. We recommend assigning a static IP address to make sure a host computer
always remains connected to its AnywhereUSB device.
Follow the instructions below to run the AnywhereUSB Remote Hub Configuration Utility to connect to your AnywhereUSB device and open the
web UI to assign a static IP address. The host computer running the AnywhereUSB Remote Hub Configuration Utility and the AnywhereUSB
device must be on the same subnet.
