4: Using USB Devices on the Network
UBox User Guide 21
To use a 13th USB device, disconnect one of your 12 USB devices using the
Lantronix UBox software to free a location for the next USB device.
To have more than eight UBoxes, configure your next eight UBoxes to use a different
UDP port (see 5: Changing the UBox's Settings ). Once you have done this, use the
Local Settings tab to switch between your first eight UBoxes and your next eight
UBoxes (see 6: Changing Local Software Settings ).
UBox Groups on Multiple UDP Ports
One PC can use groups of UBoxes attached to multiple UDP ports. For example,
PC#1 could use 3 groups of UBoxes using 3 different UDP Ports, and PC#2 could
use 2 of the three allowing PC#2 to share some but not all servers.

‹ Up to 50 USB devices per PC by means of multiple UDP ports.
