AnywhereUSB 2 Plus USB ports on a Connect EZ 8

Your Connect EZ 8 includes two USB ports, which act as an AnywhereUSB 2 Plus Hub. The USB ports can only be used in conjunction with the AnywhereUSB Manager, which must be installed separately.

The AnywhereUSB 2 Plus ports implement USB over IP® technology over Gigabit Ethernet networks. This Gigabit Ethernet-attached solution provides two USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) ports to connect a wide range of peripheral devices such as USB license dongles, scanners, printers, cameras, storage media, or other USB devices.

Note The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) renamed USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 Gen 1. There is no change in performance, functionality, or electrical characteristics between USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1.
