Detect AnywhereUSB Remote Hubs automatically and Frequency of detection options:
allow for configuring how often and if the Configuration Utility queries the network for
AnywhereUSB units.
Note: AnywhereUSBs are automatically detected upon initially launching the AnywhereUSB
Configuration Utility. Enabling this setting will make the AnywhereUSB Configuration Utility re-
scan the network for newer AnywhereUSBs at a given frequency.
Detection Timeout: configures how long the Configuration Utility will wait to hear from all the
AnywhereUSB devices before the Configuration Utility updates the list of units in the Main
Window.
Use Microsoft Device IDs: changes how the AnywhereUSB software creates the device ID for
attached USB devices. A device ID consists of three parts: the name of the bus driver, the Product
Identifier, and a unique serial number. For example, a Digi Edgeport USB to Serial converter that
is plugged directly into the USB port of a PC would have a Device ID similar to:
USB\VID_1608&PID_0215\A20299384
(Where USB indicates the Microsoft USB bus driver)
When attaching devices to an AnywhereUSB unit, the bus driver name is AWUSB. Therefore the
same device plugged into an AnywhereUSB unit would have a Device ID of:
AWUSB\VID_1608&PID_0215\A20299384.
Some USB class drivers expect to see the bus driver name as USB, and as a result will not operate
unless the Use Microsoft Device IDs checkbox is checked.
