4.2. NetUSBfuntion
4.2.1. Connect&Disconnect
“NetUSB”allowsyoutouseUSBdevicesasiftheywereconnecteddirectlytoyourPCalthoughtheyare
actuallyremotelyconnectedtothe901n/901iprintserver.The“connect”operationisasoftware
operationthatsimulatesanactualUSBdeviceplug‐in.Thatistosay,whenyoudoa“connect”opera
tion
intheControlCenter,PCcanthendetectaprintdevice’splug‐in,althoughactuallyyoudonotpluginany
USBdevice.Similarly,the“disconnect”operationisasoftwareoperationthatsimulatesthe
disconnectionoftheUSBdevice.Oncetheconnectoperationissuccessful,theoperationstousethat
US
BdevicearejustthesameasiftheUSBdeviceisdirectlyconnectedtothePC.
IfaUSBdeviceis“connected”byaPC,wesaythatPChasthe ownershipoftheprintdevice.OnlyonePC
cangettheownershipofaUSBdeviceatthesametime.T
herefore,ifaUSBdeviceisconnectedbyone 
PC,nootherPCcanconnectthisUSBdeviceuntilthisUSBdeviceisdisconnected.
4.2.2. SubnetIssue
BeforeusingtheNetUSBtechnology,youmustfirstmakesurethatyourPCcanaccessUSBdeviceserver
viaTCP/IP.Thesimplestwaytodothisisusing“ControlCenter”tosearchfortheUSBdeviceserveron
thenetworkandchangeitsIPaddresstobethesamesubnetasyo
urPC.IftheserverandyourPCarenot
inthesameTCP/IPsubnet,ControlCenterwillshowtheserverinred,asthefollowingfigure.Youmust
changetheIPaddress(orusingDHCP)oftheserversothattheserverandyourPCareinthesamesubnet.
Contr
olCenterwillshowtheseserversinblue,meaningyoucanaccesstheseserversbytheNetUSB
technology.
