Hello! I use USBAnywhere and it reboot automatically. In log file it is written host inactivity! I have firmware 1.75.10. Is it possible to stop this automatic reboot? Is a new firmware available? thanks Alex ---

I have a somewhat similar problem. My AnywhereUSB device seems to reboot every 1 to 10 minutes: It says in the log file: … 00000B46 Software Reboot (Host Inactivity) Firmware v1.80.7 Uptime 7min 0s 00000B47 Software Reboot (Host Inactivity) Firmware v1.80.7 Uptime 3min 6s 00000B48 Software Reboot (Host Inactivity) Firmware v1.80.7 Uptime 3min 30s 00000B49 Software Reboot (Host Inactivity) Firmware v1.80.7 Uptime 3min 34s … What can this be? I don’t do anything on the server that is connected to this device. Just wait some minutes, check the log files and see that it is rebooted once more. Thanks, Stephan ---

Besides what you’re seeing in the log file, what suggests that your AnywhereUSB is rebooting? For example, if you watch the front panel of the unit, do you ever see all of the LEDs turn off briefly, similar to how they would behave if you pulled the power cable from the unit and then replugged it? ---

I am having the same issue except the reboots vary from one hour to 2 days. This is causing an USB key to become disconnected and requiring a restart of the services. Is there a fix for this issue? Thank You ---

What is the make & model of the USB key? Are there any other devices attached to the AnywhereUSB? Does this problem occur without any devices attached to the AnywhereUSB? What is the make & model of the Ethernet switch that the AnywhereUSB is attached to? ---

The USB Key is a sentinel SuperPro. There is nothing else attached to the AnywhereUSB Not sure if it occurs without anything attached, the only thing ever attached has ben the above hardware key. The AnywhereUSB is attached to a CiscoCatalyst 6500 series. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You ---

This behavior is not typical so let’s try to pinpoint what’s causing it. If feasible, monitor the AnywhereUSB after: 1. Disconnecting the hardware key 2. Either connecting the AnywhereUSB to a different switch, or connecting a “simple” (i.e. 4-port) switch to the same port of the 6500, and then connecting the AnywhereUSB to that “simple” switch. 3. Trying different modes on the 6500 for the port that the AnywhereUSB is connected to, i.e. 10/half, 10/full, 100/half, 100/full, presuming it’s currently set to auto. ---

Hi, We’ll have you generate a log file using the awusblog.exe program when this is occuring. Jeremy should email it to you shortly. Thanks Mike Swift ---

1. Open the AnywhereUSB Configuration Utility, click the Configure button and type in the IP address of that PC in the Debug Log Address at the bottom then click the Update button. 2. Run awusblog.exe which can be found in “C:\Program Files\Digi International\AnywhereUSB Drivers”. 3. Recreate this reboot issue and once it happens close the awusblog.exe program. This will generate a log file in that same folder. 4. Please update the e-mail address in your profile so I can e-mail you. 5. Reply to my e-mail with the log file. ---

Has anyone found a solution to this problem. I started to have this problem after changing the IP address configuration due to changes on our corporate network. After update the IP address the problem started to happend. Anyway I have created a case support but I wonder is you could find a solution. ---

What exactly did you change regarding the AnywhereUSB’s configuration? Was the AnywhereUSB previously set to a static IP address or was the DHCP client enabled? Is it feasible for you to change the AnywhereUSB back to the previous configuration to see if the problem goes away (thus further suggesting that the problem is due to the configuration change)? ---

Changes where related to increasing ip addressing range and accessing new corporate services on network. We don’t use DHCP for this equipment Static IP Address before change: IP: 192.168.1.6 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Getway: 192.168.1.19 New Static IP Address after change: IP: 10.72.120.12 Subnet: 255.255.254.0 Getway: 10.72.120.1 That’s it. After this change we started to have problems. We have tried softreboot, hardreboot, reinstall drivers but the problem persist on an aleatory base. Some additional info: We use: Boot Code: 1.3.2 Firmware: 1.90.5 Hardware: Rev B Device ID: 0x0001 We could not return to previous configuration since the IP address will not be valid to our host computer and could not be accessed over the network. Thank you. ---
