Use all Hub addresses

The AnywhereUSB Hub may have default IP addresses that are reported by mDNS to the AnywhereUSB Manager, but in many network environments, the Manager cannot connect to them. As part of normal operation, the Manager tries to sequentially connect to all of the Hub IP addresses, so if it starts trying these extra default IP addresses, it may take extra time (minutes) for the Manager to connect or reconnect.

You can use the Use All Hub Addresses option to determine whether the AnywhereUSB Manager is allowed to connect to extra default IP addresses. By default, this option is deselected and the Manager does not attempt to connect to these addresses.

Note This can also be done using a CLI command: use all hub addresses

  1. Open AnywhereUSB Manager.
  2. Choose File > Preferences. The Preferences dialog appears.
  3. Determine your connection option:
    • Not selected: When Use All Hub Addresses is not selected, the AnywhereUSB Manager does not attempt to connect to the extra IP addresses. This is the default.
    • Selected: When Use All Hub Addresses is selected, the AnywhereUSB Manager attempts to connect to the extra IP addresses.
  4. Click Save to save your change and close the dialog.
