1 Verify your components
Verify that you have all included equipment. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your supplier.
2 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.
3 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.
