USB 3.0 1

USB 3.0 2

The two USB ports 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.

You can use the AnywhereUSB Manager connect to and monitor the devices connected to the USB ports. You can configure the AnywhereUSB service and AnywhereUSB Manager from the Connect EZ 16/32 web UI.

See AnywhereUSB 2 Plus USB ports on a Connect EZ 16/32.

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.
