Step 4 - Finishing Up and Additional Notes You have now learned to use your USB device via the Keyspan USB Server. If you need to connect additional USB devices, note that you can connect up to four supported USB devices to one Keyspan USB Server. If you need to connect more than four USB devices you will need to another USB Server. USB hubs are not supported on the USB Server. Tech Note: Using Multiple USB Servers and USB Devices: You can view up to 8 USB Servers in the Keyspan USB Server software. If you are using all of the USB ports on your 8 servers, you will be able view a total of 32 USB devices in the Keyspan USB Server software however you will only be able to have 12 USB devices 'connected' to your computer. If you need to use a 13th USB device, 'disconnect' one of your 12 USB device via the This User Manual applies to the Keyspan USB Server Software Version 1.0 Rev 2004apr06 Page 10 Keyspan:USB Server - User Manual Keyspan USB Server software to free a location for the next USB device. If you need to have more than 8 USB Server, configure your next 8 servers to use a different UDP port. Once you have done this, use the USB Software's Local UDP Port menu item to switch between your first 8 servers and your next 8 servers. Tech Note: Using One USB Server With Multiple Users: Only 10 users can connect to a single or set of USB servers using the same UDP port. You can support more users by setting up additional usb servers with a different UDP port numbers. Performance Comparison: USB Server vs Built-In USB Ports Generally, performance of a USB device is best when connected to a built-in USB port. However, this is not always the case. In our compatibility testing we observed instances in which USB devices operated more quickly on the USB Server than they do when connected to a USB port. We also observed instances in which devices connected to a USB Server operated more slowly than they do when connected to a USB port. There is no rule of thumb that we can offer for comparing the performance of a USB device connected to a USB Server vs the same device connected to a built-in USB port. Optimizing USB device performance is a primary objective for USB Server software updates that Keyspan will release in 2004.

This communication happens between the USB Server hardware and software. By default, these ports are set to 3842. Port 3842 is reserved for exclusively for the Keyspan USB Server. Other IP services (ie ftp, email, web, etc) cannot use this reserved port. UDP Port (default is 3842): Change this setting to change the UDP port number that the USB Server will broadcast itself on. Other computers configured to use this UDP port number will be able to see this USB Server. This setting is useful if you wish to limit the number of people connecting to a particular USB Server or if you want to hide a USB Server from other users on your network. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you change your server's UDP Port number in the Admin tab, you will also need to tell the Keyspan USB Server software to 'listen' to the new port. To do this, select the Local UDP Port command in the Keyspan USB Server application's Config menu (for details, see the Config Menu sub-section later in this section). You only need to change the Local UDP Port if you've changed the USB Server's UDP port. TCP Port (default is 3842): Change this port to change the TCP port that the USB Server uses to transmit USB data. Tech Note:UDP/TCP Ports and Firewalls: For most users, there is no need to change the USB Server's UDP and TCP ports however certain firewalls may block traffic to the default UDP and TCP ports. In these instances, you can either change the port numbers or configure your firewall to allow connections via USB Server's configured UDP and TCP ports. Applying/Canceling Server Settings Once you have changed the server's settings, you will need to apply your changes in order for the changes to take effect. To do this, click the Apply Changes button (see next image). MACINTOSH: This button is shown as Apply in the Mac software.
