AnywhereUSB/14
AnywhereUSB Remote I/O Concentrator User Guide 14
Features
Following is an overview of configurable features of the AnywhereUSB/2, AnywhereUSB/5 (G2),
AnywhereUSB/5 M, AnywhereUSB TS44, and the AnywhereUSB/14 models.
User Interfaces
There are several user interfaces for configuring and monitoring the AnywhereUSB family,
including:
• The Digi Device Discovery Utility, used to configure IP settings
• Web-based interface for advanced configuring, monitoring, and administration.
• Telnet and SSH Command-Line Interface, alternatives to the Web UI.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• AnywhereUSB Configuration Utlity, used to connect/disconnect host PCs.
IP Address Assignment
There are several ways to assign an IP address to an AnywhereUSB:
• Static IP: Assign a specific IP address to a device, through the Digi Device Discovery Utility, the
web interface, or the Command-Line Interface.
• Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The AnywhereUSB device's default
configuration is as a DHCP client. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet
protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used to
automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters such as
the subnet mask and default router, and to provide other configuration information.
• Auto Private IP Addressing (APIPA), also known as Auto-IP: A standard protocol that will
automatically assign an IP address from a reserved pool of standard Auto-IP addresses to the
computer on which it is installed. The device is set to obtain its IP address automatically from
a DHCP server. But if the DHCP server is unavailable or nonexistent, Auto-IP will assign the
device an IP. If DHCP is enabled or responds later or you use ADDP, both will override the
Auto-IP address previously assigned.
Security Features
Security-related features in AnywhereUSB include:
• Secure access and authentication
• One password, one permission level.
• Can selectively enable and disable network services such as ADDP, HTTP/HTTPS, Remote
Login, Remote Shell, SNMP, and Telnet.
• Can control access to inbound ports.
• Secure sites for configuration: HTML pages for configuration have appropriate security.
•SNMP Security:
• Authorization: Changing public and private community names is recommended to prevent
unauthorized access to the device.
• You can disable SNMP set commands to make use of SNMP read-only.
