Digi AnywhereUSB Series User Manual

AnywhereUSB User Manual (90001085_F1) 28
The Use Microsoft Device IDs option changes how the AnywhereUSB
software creates the Device ID for attached USB devices.
A Device ID consists of 3 parts: the name of the bus driver, the Product
Identifier, and a unique serial number. For example, a Digi Edgeport USB
to Serial converter that is plugged directly into the USB port of a PC
would have a Device ID similar to:
USB\VID_1608&PID_0215\A20299384
(Where “USB” indicates the Microsoft USB bus driver)
In the case of attaching devices to an AnywhereUSB unit, the bus driver
name is “AWUSB”, so the same device plugged into an AnywhereUSB
unit would have the following Device ID:
AWUSB\VID_1608&PID_0215\A20299384.
Some USB class drivers expect to see the bus driver name as “USB”, and
as a result will not operate unless the “Use Microsoft Device IDs” check-
box is checked.
