8.2 Configuration with Utility
Another way to configure the server is via the configuration dialog of USB Server. Please
right-click on the server icon, and select the Server Configurations.
You might be prompted to enter password if a password has been set. If not, you will
immediately see the above dialog.
Server Name: This field allows you change the Server name. Change it whatever you
want.
Use DHCP: When this field is checked, your server acquires IP address automatically.
NOTE: You can apply this function to a server under different network segment. However,
some router/switch hub does not allow communication between servers under different
segment. In this case, you won’t even see the server on a different network segment.
Connect devices when application starts: Automatically connect the USB devices
(Port1~Port4) after start up the USB Server program.
Backup Firmware: Just browse to where you want to save the backup file and click on
Save to save the file.
Update Firmware: Browse to the firmware you would like to upload and then click on
the “Open” button to update the firmware.
Change Password: Simply enter the new password and enter it again for confirmation.
Click on Submit to change.
Restart Server: To reboot the server. Please note that this function will not work if the
server you attempt to reset has a device connected to it and the device is occupied by a
user.

device is occupied, it also displays the occupying PC name and the IP of the PC
occupying it.
Check the Launch an application when this device connected checkbox and
provide the path to that program/utility/application software, then the

device. This function is particularly useful when the USB device you connect works with
an application, such as scanning utility with a multiple function printer.
