USB Redirector 1.97 uses IncentivesPro’s cloud technology to facilitate connections, allowing you to bypass complex firewall, NAT, or router configuration (no static IP or port forwarding required).
Ideal for developers and system administrators needing to pass USB devices (e.g., security dongles) into Hyper-V, VMware, or VirtualBox environments.
If a VPN is not an option, you can set up port forwarding on the router that the USB server is connected to. The technician must log into their router's administration panel and create a rule that forwards incoming traffic on a specific TCP port (e.g., 32032, which is the default for USB Redirector) to the private IP address of the USB server on the local network. The Customer Module or USB Redirector Client then uses the public IP address of the technician's router and the forwarded port number to establish a connection. While USB Redirector may attempt to configure this automatically using UPnP, manual configuration is often required for reliable operation across different router models.

USB Redirector 1.97 is a specialized software utility designed to share and access USB devices over a local network (LAN), wireless network (Wi-Fi), or the internet. It acts as a virtual bridge, allowing a computer on one side of the world to interact with a physical USB device plugged into a computer on the other side. The software functions via a client-server architecture:
Download and install the USB Redirector Client on the remote computer. Open the Client application. Step 4: Connect to the Shared Device Click within the Client interface. Enter the IP address or hostname of the server computer. Click OK to establish the connection. USB Redirector 1
USB Redirector 1.97（或称USB重定向器）的核心工作原理并不复杂，却在技术底层实现了诸多巧妙的封装。它通过在安装有USB服务端的电脑上，将这些USB指令和数据封装进TCP/IP协议的数据包中。
This is where 1.97 shines. It works natively over VPN tunnels (OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP). Crucially, it supports — you can connect to a remote server via RDP, and within that session, access a USB drive plugged into your local machine.
Installed on the remote computer that needs to use the device. It "connects" to the shared device, making the operating system treat it as a local plugin. Key Features and Capabilities The technician must log into their router's administration
USB Redirector 1.97虽然在默认配置下主要服务于局域网，但在实际生产环境中，工程师们往往需要从酒店、家中或分公司访问总部的USB密钥或调试设备，这通常借助 **“内网穿透”**或 技术来实现。
Capable of automatically linking to shared devices as soon as they become available on the network.
USB Redirector 1.97 is a "classic" tool. It is perfect if you are working with where modern software might be too bloated or incompatible. However, for professional environments or users on Windows 10/11, it is highly recommended to use the current version (v6.1 or later) to ensure better security, driver signing compatibility, and high-speed data transfer.
