USB over Ethernet: Extend USB Devices Over Ethernet Network

USB over Ethernet software allows remote access to USB devices, making them available to client computers connected over an Ethernet network, as if they were plugged into the local computer.

What is USB over Ethernet?

USB over Ethernet is software that enables you to extend USB devices over an Ethernet network to remote computers. It works by connecting USB devices like printers, scanners, cameras, storage devices, etc. to a host computer via USB. The host computer then makes these devices available over the network to client computers using a standard Ethernet connection.

On the client side, the USB device appears as if it is locally connected to the USB port, even though it is physically connected to the host computer. This allows users on client computers to utilize and access the USB device seamlessly as if it were plugged directly into their local machine.

Some key benefits of USB over Ethernet include:

• Access and utilize USB devices anywhere on the network without proximity restrictions
• Share expensive or specialized USB hardware more efficiently across multiple users
• Reduce hardware costs by eliminating the need for multiple local USB devices
• Simple setup and configuration, leveraging existing Ethernet infrastructure

USB over Ethernet software simplifies using devices like scanners, printers, cameras, card readers, measurement devices and more over a network by handling all the complexity behind the scenes. It is an efficient, cost-effective way to access essential USB peripherals from any networked computer.
