Callback Connection
Previous  Next


The Callback Connection feature allows you to initiate connection establishment from USBDeviceShare Server. This feature is useful in scenarios where the server is behind a NAT or firewall and cannot accept incoming connections. In Callback connection mode the client waits for the connection while the server initiates the connection.
