1. Seamless Remote USB Connectivity
The Customer Module allows a technician to access, control, and use USB devices (printers, scanners, HID devices, storage drives, license dongles, etc.) connected to the customer’s machine as if they were plugged directly into the technician’s own computer.
Troubleshooting Common Issues in v1.9.7
Even with stable software, network variables cause friction. Here is how to fix them. Network USB Sharing: The module creates a virtual
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution in v1.9.7 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| "Unable to connect to server" | Firewall or port forwarding missing | Ensure TCP port 32032 is open outbound on customer network. Test via telnet tech-server-ip 32032. |
| Device connects but disappears after 30 seconds | USB isochronous timeout | In Client settings, increase "Keep-alive interval" to 5000ms. |
| "Driver error - Device cannot start (Code 10)" | Virtual USB driver conflict | Uninstall old USB Redirector versions via Device Manager → View hidden devices → Remove ghosts, then reinstall v1.9.7. |
| High latency (mouse/keyboard lag) | Network RTT > 100ms | Enable "Reduced latency mode" in the client properties (experimental in 1.9.7). |
| Authentication failed | Mismatched password or username | Technicians: regenerate access password on server. Customers: copy-paste exactly (case-sensitive). |
2. Minimal Footprint, Silent Operation
Designed for end-user deployment, version 1.9.7 runs quietly in the system tray without requiring technical intervention. It does not disrupt local USB functionality and consumes negligible system resources.
Key Features of the Customer Module
The Customer Module is designed to be lightweight and non-intrusive, ensuring that the client’s system performance is not impacted while providing the technician with necessary access.
- Network USB Sharing: The module creates a virtual tunnel for USB traffic. It encapsulates USB requests into TCP/IP packets, sending them to the technician's machine (the server module) over a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), or the Internet.
- Broad Device Compatibility: v1.9.7 supports a wide range of USB devices, including:
- USB Flash Drives and External Hard Drives.
- Printers and Scanners.
- Dongles and Security Keys.
- Input devices (Mice/Keyboards) for KVM-style support.
- SSL Security: To prevent data interception during remote sessions, version 1.9.7 implements robust SSL encryption. This ensures that sensitive data transferred over USB remains secure, even when routed over the public internet.
- Isolation Options: The module allows specific USB devices to be shared while keeping others private, preventing accidental access to sensitive peripherals the technician does not need to see.
