All,
Any recommendations on a USB over IP solution? I need to administer and connect to (20) USB devices for config and setup, over an Ethernet network. I'd be using a Windows 10 machine to connect to the remote boxes as needed to tweak configs.
I've found several, but this looks most promising:
https://www.digi.com/products/models/aw-usb-2
Has anyone used these, and what are your opinions?
Desirable features:
1) Stable software that doesn't crash - the devices are rather inaccessible, so power cycling the remote boxes to get a connection back would really suck.
2) Ability to give each of the (20) converters "friendly names" so I don't have to remember (20) IP addresses.
3) DIN rail mounting would be nice.
4) 24V powered (no separate power supply) would be nice.
Thoughts or suggestions on other vendors?
Thanks,
