4.3 Device Mapping

Device Mapping enables virtualization of all USB Devices connected to the NetUSB-400i USB
Server on to your PC, over LAN. Power on the NetUSB-400i USB Server and connect an Ethernet
cable from the Ethernet port to your Local Area Network. Select Device Mapping in the Func-
tion Panel. Then click on the Green Arrow Button in the USBIP Admin Utility to start the device
mapping. Right-click on the icon and selecting Start Device Mapping is also possible, es well as
invoking this function via Device Mapping in the Menu bar.
The Windows USBIP Admin Utility is capable enough to identify the NetUSB-400i USB Servers by
their IP address on the network. As soon as the NetUSB-400i is detected with a specific IP Address
Windows automatically invokes a Found New Hardware Wizard to install the drivers for the USB
Server. Continue the Installation to see the NetUSB-400i and the USB devices connected in the
USBIP Admin Utility (figure 31). During this process Windows might request a confirmation,
because the drivers are not digitally signed by Microsoft. Just select the option to Continue the
installation.
NOTE: For proper enumeration of devices, allow the network traffic in the Firewall option on the
Windows PC. If you are using any third party Firewalls like Norton, McAfee, Zone Alarm etc.,
configure them to add USBIP Admin Utility to your Firewall's exception list.
