USB over Ethernet Commandline options for Windows

USB over LAN comes with a command-line utility, called eveusbc, that allows you to share and connect to USB devices without having to open the graphical interface.

USB over Ethernet lets you use command line options to automate the process of sharing USB devices on the server and connecting to them on the client. Command line is available for all license types.

share-usb-port usb-port [–tcp] [–desc] [–auth] [–crypt]
unshare-usb-port usb-port
show-usb-list
show-shared-usb
shared-usb-disconnect
unshare-all-usb-ports

UsbService.exe share-usb-port usb-port [–tcp=param] [–desc=param] [–auth=pasw] [–crypt] - Share a USB port (USB device).

Parameters:

usb-port : The number of USB port that will be shared. It can be derived with show-usb-list command.
tcp : The parameters of TCP connection. If only the TCP port number is indicated, then the server will wait for incoming connection from the client PC. If the full network path is indicated, then the server will initiate the connection with the client PC.
E.g.: 3777 – waiting for connection on port 3777; localhost:3777 – client will try to connect with the server on localhost:3777.
desc : The additional description of the device.
auth : Indicates the password for connection with this device.
crypt : Indicates that all traffic will be encrypted.

Example:

UsbService.exe share-usb-port 1:1 --tcp=3777 --desc="My usb flash" --auth="123" --crypt

The first USB port will be shared on the first USB hub; the connection will require authorization; the server will wait for connection on TCP port 3777; \”My usb flash\” is additional description; all traffic is encrypted.

UsbService.exe unshare-usb-port usb-port - Make a port available to the local system.

Parameters:

usb-port : USB port number that will be unshared. Shared devices list can be derived with show-shared-usb command.

Example:

UsbService.exe unshare-usb-port 1:1

USB port 1 on the first hub will become available to the local system.

UsbService.exe show-usb-list - Display the USB ports list.

UsbService.exe show-shared-usb - Display the list of shared USB ports (devices).

UsbService.exe shared-usb-disconnect - Interrupt the current connection for this device.

Parameters:

usb-port : USB port that needs to be disconnected. Shared devices list and their connection statuses can be derived with show-shared-usb command.

Example:

UsbService.exe shared-usb-disconnect 1:1

The connection of the client with the shared USB port 1 on the first hub will be interrupted.

UsbService.exe unshare-all-usb-ports - Unshare all ports (devices) on the server and make them available on this computer again.

add-remote-device tcp
remove-remote-device tcp
connect-remote-device tcp [–auth] [–auto-reconnect]
disconnect-remote-device tcp
show-remote-devices
find-remote-devices server

UsbService.exe add-remote-device tcp - Add the remote shared device.

Parameters:

tcp : The parameters of TCP connection. If the full network path is indicated, then the client PC will initiate the connection with the server. If only the port number is indicated, then the client PC will wait for incoming connection from the server.

E.g.: 3777 – waiting for connection on port 3777; localhost:3777 – client will try to connect with the server on localhost:3777.

Example:

UsbService.exe add-remote-device localhost:3777

Adds the remote shared device at the client via localhost on TCP port 3777.

UsbService.exe remove-remote-device tcp - Remove the remote device on client.

Parameters:

tcp : Parameters of the TCP connection that were indicated during creation of the connection with the remote device.

Example:

UsbService.exe remove-remote-device localhost:3777

Removes remote device from the client which connected to the server PC at localhost on TCP port 3777.

UsbService.exe connect-remote-device tcp [–auth=passw] [–auto-reconnect] - Initiate the TCP connection with the remote device. The list of shared remote devices that were added on a client PC and their connection statuses can be invoked by show-remote-devices command.

Parameters:

tcp : Parameters of the TCP connection that were indicated during creation of the connection with the remote device.
auth : Indicates that the connection will require authentication.
auto-reconnect : Automatically restore the connection after it was lost.

Example:

UsbService.exe connect-remote-device localhost:3777 --auth="123" --auto-reconnect

Initiates the connection with the remote server PC localhost on TCP port 3777 with authentication. If the connection was lost, tries to reestablish connection with the server.

UsbService.exe disconnect-remote-device tcp - Interrupt the connection with the remote device. The list of shared remote devices that were added on a client PC and their connection statuses can be invoked by show-remote-devices command.

Parameters:

tcp : Parameters of the TCP connection that were indicated during creation of the connection with the remote device.

Example:

UsbService.exe disconnect-remote-device localhost:3777

Interrupts the connection with the remote device on the localhost server on TCP port 3777.

UsbService.exe show-remote-devices - Show all added remote devices and their parameters and connection statuses.

UsbService.exe find-remote-devices server - Look for shared remote devices on the server.

Parameters:

server : IP address or DNS name of the server PC to look for shared remote devices at.

Example:

UsbService.exe find-remote-devices localhost

Looks for all shared remote devices on the server PC localhost.

UsbService.exe help - Invokes general help.

UsbService.exe help [command] - Invokes help on a definite command.
