AnywhereUSB User Manual (90001085_F1) 44
Upon configuration of the Connectware Manager server and the Device
ID, you must configure the following settings:
Connection Settings
These settings are used in connecting to the Connectware Manager
server. You can choose how your AnywhereUSB connects to and
communicates with the Connectware Manager server: through a client-
initiated or a server-initiated connection.
In a client-initiated connection, the AnywhereUSB attempts to reach the
Connectware Manager server to establish the connection. An advantage
of the client-initiated connection is that it can be used on any network,
whether the client device has a public or private IP address - as long as
the Connectware Manager server is accessible on that network.
A server-initiated connection works the opposite way. The Connectware
Manager server opens a TCP connection and the AnywhereUSB listens
for the connection. An advantage of a server-initiated connection is that
the connection is only established when it is needed - this minimizes the
overhead of maintaining a connection. A disadvantage is that
Connectware Manager's device list will display the device as
disconnected most of the time. In addition, server-initiated connections
cannot be used if the device has a private IP address or is behind a NAT.
Client-Initiated Management Connection:
Enable Remote Management ... using a client-initiated connection
When enabled, this client device will initiate the connection to the
Connectware Manager server. This is the typical connection method.
Server Hostname
The IP address or hostname of the Connectware Manager server.
Automatically reconnect to the server after being disconnected
If enabled, the AnywhereUSB will wait the specified amount of time after
a connection to the Connectware Manager server is ended, and then it
will reconnect to the Connectware Manager server.
Server-Initiated Management Connection:
Enable Remote Management ... using a server-initiated connection
When enabled, this device will listen for a connection which will be
initiated by the Connectware Manager server.
Enable Last Known Address (LKA) updates
If enabled, the AnywhereUSB will make a connection to a Connectware
Manager server for the purpose of informing the server of the current IP
address of the AnywhereUSB. This permits the Connectware Manager to
connect back to the device server, or to dynamically update a DNS with
the IP address of the device.
