All that is needed to do for that is install USB Network Gate on the computer with USB device physically attached (server) and on the computer where you want to use this device (client). You can work with those devices as if they were physically connected to your local machine. With USB Network Gate you will never experience any issues accessing and using the USB devices that are plugged into remote computers. While it's probably overkill for the typical home network, it could save real time (and money) in pro environments.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of USB Network Gate 6.2.680. USB Network Gate has the power to make life easier for network administrators or anyone who needs to access a variety of USB devices on networked PCs. Pricey: Although it offers intriguing possibilities, USB Network Gate is a bit pricey for most home networks. It's a look only a network pro could love. Consĭull interface: USB Network Gate's plain list view groups devices by controller under tabs for local and shared network devices. Pro: USB Network Gate lets network admins and other IT pros configure devices once and use them on all networked PCs instead of scripting a systemwide fix or, worse, configuring them on each machine, one by one.įlexible: We could display Devices or All Ports (including free ports) or show only shared devices.Ĭonnection options: The Connect Devices menu can add servers, devices, and remote devices connect with passwords and RDP Auto-connect connect always or once and disconnect all or individual devices. Any USB device configured for your PC will run on any networked PC, including removable drives, scanners, printers, keyboards, and specialized devices like test instruments. USB Network Gate enforces widespread compatibility for USB devices across a network by intercepting USB port activity and redirecting it back to your host PC via TCP/IP.
