Connect & Disconnect
“NetUSB” allows you to use USB printers when they’re actually connected to the Sitecom
USB server.
The “connect” operation is a software operation that simulates an actual USB device
plug-
in. Therefore, when you do a “connect” operation in the Control Center, the PC can
detect a USB device’s plug
-in, although actually you do not plug in any USB device to
your PC. Similarly, the “disconnect” operation is a software operation that simulates the
disconnection of the USB device.
Note
:
If a USB device is “connected” by a PC, we say that PC has the ownership of the
USB device. Only one PC can get the ownership of a USB device at the same time.

The steps to do installation for USB devices, like MFPs:
Make sure the router is turned on.

side of the Windows Task Bar, you can see the information of the new device.
Continue to follow the user manual of the USB device to do the rest jobs of
installation, until the driver installation has finished.
After the installation, you can see the newly created devices on the PC. If the USB device
