Anywhereusb/5 Lock

Hi,

i have a problem with my Anywhereusb/5, i can`t lock the device with a password by the configurationutility.

One year ago i have installed the same devicetype with an older version (2.3.0) from the configurationutility. In this Version i see the button lock/unlock.
In the newer version (2.60.5.0) i don`t see this feature.

I want to protetecd the anywhereusb from hosts, that shouldn`t get access to it.
Could you give me some information how it works?

Hi there,

The password-protected lock/unlock feature was short-lived.

In order to use that feature, you’ll need to use the older v2.40 AnywhereUSB driver package, which bundles the older config util. Here’s a download link:

ftp://austin:!15st3n!@ftp1.digi.com/support/AnywhereUSB/2.40/40002533_G.exe

Note that the lock/unlock feature is particular to the config util itself (AwUsbCfg.exe) so it MAY be possible to use the older config util with a newer driver package - i.e. by copying/pasting the old AwUsbCfg.exe over the new one - but we don’t necessarily recommend trying that out, and we wouldn’t be able to provide support if that scenario exhibited any problems. You’re welcome to try it out though.

Password protection option is not present in newer driver package.

It is assumed that AUSB is deployed in safe environment
