Multiport.USB

Multiport.USB is a utility that allows you to control hardware components which are connected to a computer via USB over a local network or the Internet.

The application is easy to install and comes with both client and server packages that allow allow you to share control over TCP/IP. Installing Multiport.USB should pose no problems as the application uses the classic Wizard approach.

It features support for multifunctional devices, Hot Plug-n-Play, internal error recovery, as well as Bulk, Interrupt and Isochronous transfers.

From the Client configuration window you are able to set the IP address of the server and run it. Along with the IP you can enter the server’s TCP port number and set the client to start at Windows startup. You also get to choose the device you want to share from an expandable list and once you confirm it, an appropriate status is displayed.

The server settings can be saved with a simple click on the ‘Save settings’ button and are made available the next time you run the application.

As far as the server component of Multiport.USB goes, it shares a part of the client’s functions. Meaningly you can start and stop the server, input the TCP port number and toggle it to run with Windows.

Multiport.USB is a practical and efficient solution for when you want to access a printer or other devices that use a USB connection and use them even though you are not located in the same room or network as them.
