Secure USB access for professional teams
Put the right USB tool in the hands of the right specialist.
ByteTether connects approved Windows USB equipment to an authorized remote Operator through authenticated, endpoint-to-endpoint encrypted sessions—without exposing a public USB/IP port or the rest of the Client computer.

ONE PLATFORM · TWO FOCUSED APPLICATIONS
Simple for the equipment side. Powerful for the specialist.
ByteTether separates physical-device access from remote use. Each person sees the controls needed for their role, while the platform keeps identity, transport and session state synchronized.
FOR THE SPECIALIST
Operator
Select an approved Relay, generate a sealed invitation, see the remote USB inventory and attach the intended device directly into Windows.
- Live connection-quality and operation state
- Normal vendor drivers and applications
- Controlled attach, detach and Guard workflows
WHERE THE DEVICE LIVES
Client
Accept an authorized invitation beside the physical equipment. Use Normal mode for local confirmation or opt into Expert collaboration for Operator-managed session controls.
- Explicit account-controlled collaboration mode
- Local device identity and activity visibility
- Authenticated endpoint-to-endpoint encryption
BUILT AROUND REAL PROFESSIONAL WORK
Bring expertise to the equipment—not the equipment to the expert.
Use familiar Windows tools against supported remote USB hardware while keeping access limited to the approved device and session.
Remote diagnostics
Work with compatible RP1210 adapters, Jaltest, NEXIQ and other approved vehicle interfaces from the specialist’s workstation.
Printers and scanners
Make supported document equipment available to an authorized Windows application without broad remote-desktop access.
Security dongles
Use approved USB license keys remotely when the software vendor’s license and technical requirements allow it.
Specialist service tools
Connect compatible programming, calibration, configuration and measurement hardware to the people qualified to use it.
SECURITY DESIGNED INTO THE ROUTE
The Relay moves encrypted traffic. Your endpoints keep the meaning.
Operator and Client authenticate the session and establish their own encrypted data path. Relay infrastructure routes the transport but cannot substitute or inspect the protected USB payload.
Review the controlled workflowFROM ACCOUNT TO CONNECTED DEVICE
A clear path from invitation to Windows.
The platform handles routing and session protection while both endpoints keep the workflow understandable.
- 1AUTHORIZE
Create a sealed session
The Operator signs in, chooses an approved Relay and generates a private Client invitation.
- 2CONNECT
Bring the Client online
The equipment-side user accepts the invitation and connects through its exact authenticated route.
- 3WORK
Attach the approved USB device
The Operator loads the available inventory, attaches the intended device and uses the normal Windows application.
Normal modeLocal Client controls remain visible for a guided two-person workflow.
Expert modeThe Client user opts into a focused activity view and delegates session USB control to the authenticated Operator.
Compare both modes CHOOSE HOW YOUR TEAM COLLABORATES
◆USB access onlyNo desktop, files or command accessOne secure connection. Two clear operating modes.
Choose the mode in the user portal before the session. Both modes use the same authenticated invitation, encrypted endpoint connection and approved Relay route—the difference is who controls USB sharing during the session.
GUIDED TWO-PERSON WORKFLOW
RecommendedNormal mode
The Client technician keeps the device controls and explicitly shares the intended USB device. The Operator then sees that approved device and attaches it to Windows.
✓ Local confirmation before sharing✓ Full device activity visible at Client✓ Ideal for first sessions and supervised work
- 1Operator generates and sends the sealed invitation.
- 2Client accepts it and connects securely.
- 3Client selects and shares the approved USB device.
- 4Operator refreshes, selects and attaches the device.
Best forOnboarding, supervised service and sites where a local technician should approve each device.
OPERATOR-MANAGED USB WORKFLOW
Opt-inExpert mode
The Client user deliberately delegates USB-session controls to the authenticated Operator. Client becomes a focused activity console while Operator can request sharing and attach the selected device. Expert mode does not grant general desktop or filesystem access.
✓ Fewer equipment-side steps✓ Operator loads the device inventory directly✓ Ideal for trusted, repeat support workflows
- 1User portal is set to Expert mode before connecting.
- 2Client accepts the invitation and establishes the secure session.
- 3Operator loads the available Client devices.
- 4Operator explicitly selects Attach to request sharing and attach that device.
Best forExperienced teams, repeat equipment and sessions where the Operator leads the USB workflow.

BEFORE THE FIRST CONNECTION
Four details make the session feel effortless.
DESIGNED FOR OPERATIONS, NOT JUST A DEMO
Control the platform behind every connection.
Deploy Main and Sub Relays, publish exact server identities and view live reachability.
Manage registration, passwords, enabled state, concurrent sessions and account expiry.
Apply bounded rate limits, progressive blocking, overload protection and audited policy changes.
Publish verified Operator and Client releases through the authenticated user portal.
Review active endpoints, channels, traffic, Relay health and administrative notifications.
Use synchronized Guard and protected-job recovery controls where interruption risk matters.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What teams need to know before deployment.
ByteTether is a controlled transport platform. Device compatibility, vendor licensing and operational readiness still matter.
Does ByteTether replace the USB device driver?
No. Install and use the normal compatible Windows driver and vendor software on the Operator computer.
Can the Relay read USB payloads?
The authenticated endpoints establish their own encrypted data path. Relay infrastructure routes those protected frames without reading or substituting the USB payload.
Does every USB device work?
Compatibility depends on the exact hardware, driver, vendor application, transfer behavior, licensing terms and network conditions. Validate the complete workflow before production use.
Is Expert mode uncontrolled remote access?
No. It is an account-selected ByteTether workflow inside the authenticated session. It delegates the USB session controls to the Operator; it does not grant general desktop or filesystem access.
READY TO CONNECT YOUR WORKFLOW?
Start with an approved account and your exact USB use case.
Register with the current server-issued key, download the purpose-built applications and validate your device workflow through the managed Relay platform.
Critical programming and service operations can still be affected by power, equipment, network, driver and vendor-software failures. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s procedure, maintain stable power and keep an appropriate recovery plan.
