3 Installation Instructions

3.2 Installing the Windows USBIP Admin Utility Software

The following instructions outline the installation of the Windows USBIP Admin Utility software
for Windows Operating Systems only. If the instructions are different for any operating system,
the difference will be mentioned. Although screen shots of the Server Utility software may not
match to your operating system, please note that button, menu, and tab names are identical on
the supported platforms.
For reasons outlined in section 3.3 it is recommended to use the root account of your Windows
for installation of the drivers. The root account is created when installing Windows, the name is
Administrator in English (and German) language Windows versions. This account may not be
available on your "Welcome Screen". Hold down the Ctrl- and Alt-keys, while pressing the Del-key
twice. You get a box where you enter the User name: (Administrator) and the Password:.
The USBIP Admin Utility Setup is an Install Shield based application, which can be used for in-
stalling, uninstalling and upgrading the NetUSB-400i client Software. Please run the self-explanatory
Install Shield application to install the USBIP Admin Utility. Follow the instructions on the screen.
On Vista and Windows 7 the User Account Control (UAC) may request your explicit permission
to install the software.
Once the installation is complete, the USB Over IP logo displays for a short time. The USBIP
Admin Utility shortcut is placed on the desktop as well as in the system tray, shown in figure 3.

The USBIP Admin Utility is started every time a user logs on to his account. The software is used
to administer and configure the NetUSB-400i USB Server on the network. Double click the icon on
the system tray to view the full screen mode of the PC client application as shown in figure 6.

3.3 Uninstalling the Windows USBIP Admin Utility Software

To completely remove the driver software of NetUSB-400i USB Server from your system, log on
to the Account you used to install the software. There is an entry in the Add or Remove Programs
applet found in Control Panel. Since accounts can be removed from the system, it is best to use the
non-removable root account (Administrator) to install the software. This way you always have
the easy option of removing the drivers.
