Install the AnywhereUSB Manager

The Anywhere USB Manager software must be downloaded from the Digi support site and installed on your computer. After the manager software installs, the AnywhereUSB Manager launches. The AnywhereUSB Manager automatically discovers AnywhereUSB® Plus Hubs on the local subnet.

The Windows administrator must perform the software install.

Before you begin, you should decide whether you want to run the AnywhereUSB Manager as a stand-alone or as a service. For detailed information, see Install AnywhereUSB Manager as a service or stand-alone.
