Run modes

USB Redirector

Install the USB Redirector and integrate your USB device through the Redirector - that’s it! Whether as a substitute for missing hardware USB ports, a solution for virtual environments such as VMware, HyperV etc., or as a simple line driver - your USB communication is immediately network-ready.

Everything included

The small box contains everything needed for redirecting USB devices into the network. Whether used as any desired extension over your network, or together with other user devices such as scanners, printers, dongles, measuring devices etc.: any USB device connected to the USB-Server Megabit 2.0 behaves just as if it were connected directly to your PC. Support for all USB modes ensures trouble-free communication with both traditional USB devices and isochron devices in audio, video and measurement technology. We can omit a list of compatible devices - any means any.

Everything included

The USB Redirector integrates the virtual USB ports into the plug-and-play function of your operating system on both Linux and Windows. The deep integration on the core level means the USB devices can also be operated without any user login just as for local installations. The USB Server Megabit 2.0 supports cross-network, routed connections and provides functions for ensuring automatic communication resumption after network faults and interruptions.

All applications

Share devices

Redirect the valuable dongle to the secure server room and allow users to access it through the network.

Virtual environments

Integrate actual USB devices (measuring technology, card readers etc.) into virtual machines running VMWare, HyperV, VirtualBox etc.

Line driver

Operate the USB device at virtually any distance from the computer

Galvanic isolation

Use the network to create galvanic isolation between PC and USB device and thereby prevent ground loops and undesired compensation currents.

Interoperability guarantee

We keep our word: "We can work with anything."

Should a special USB device with its specific driver and version not run, we will perform an exact analysis to determine why your USB device is so unusual. By no later than this stage we are almost always able to change the behavior of our USB server such that it will also run with your device. If this somehow does not succeed, we will provide you with an exact technical error analysis. You can use this if needed to solve the problem with the help of the company that made your USB device.
