Virtual USB Server

The server component must be installed on a computer that has connected USB devices you are going to share over the network. The component consists of the following key components:

Device driver that is used to redirect local USB device traffic to a remote endpoint. The driver has WHQL signature.
NT Service that manages shared USB devices, maintains the local configuration and provides Server Management API. It also listens for incoming device connection requests and performs authentication.

The following optional components are not required for Virtual USB server operation, but provide the means to configure a running server:

UI Configuration Utility
Command-line Configuration Utility
API bindings for different programming languages and technologies

A shared USB device remains fully functional on a server computer until a client attempts to connect to it.

Once connection request succeeds, the device becomes blocked on a server. It all appears like the device is disconnected from a server and then connected to a client computer. Shared USB device may no longer be used on a server, in addition, all future connection attempts to the same device fail.

As soon as client disconnects, the device is re-connected to a server and also becomes available for new connections from the same or from the different client.
