6.11 USB Over IP
The principle of USB Over IP (USBoIP) in VERSA is rather simple. A Receiver has a
built-in USB2.0 HUB, which acts a USB2.0 host controller to all the USB devices
connected to it locally. A Receiver needs to pair with a Sender explicitly in order to
export its USB2.0 devices. The exported USB2.0 devices are enumerated by the
Sender to the Host PC.
VERSA can serve up to four USB2.0 downstream devices over IP, means, each
Receiver can only export four USB2.0 devices to the Sender. Even though, there are
only two USB2.0 ports on the receiver, an external hub can be added to extend more
KMoIP
USB2.0 devices. Unlike
, each Receiver in a group should explicitly connect to
a Sender in order to export its USB2.0 devices. Receiver can setup an export policy to
filter USB2.0 devices based on Class or Product ID (PID) & Vendor ID (VID). Use PC-
GUI to build custom USB policy and to view the Device Tree. See
Supported USB
Class List
for more details.

Note: USBoIP does not support asynchronous USB transfers such as Video
Streaming devices.
