Quick start

For customers already familiar with the W&T USB-Server the following pages feature a quick start guide with the basic steps neccessary from hardware installation to a working setup of the USB Server and the USB redirector software.
? Additional Information
A more detailed explanation of the individual steps is available in the respective sections.

Step 1: Hardware installation

Mounting
The housing of the W&T USB-Server is designed for on a standard DIN rail.

NOTE
A lack of appropriate air circulation may cause damage to the USB Server

• Ensure the air flow depicted above is not blocked during operation of the device, especially when operating in conditions at elevated temperatures.
• Alternate mounting methods must still ensure the depicted air circulation

Power supply
Power may be supplied either via

• a PoE capable network environment or
• using a separate power supply of 24-48 VDC (+- 10%). Please take note of the correct polarity when connecting the external power supply:

Network connection and USB devices
Use a standard patch cable to connect the USB-Server to the network and plug your desired USB devices into the USB ports of the USB-Server, just as with a local USB port.
After the hardware setup has been completed the USB-Server should start booting.
Once the booting process has finished the link and activity LEDs of the network connector should indicate a working link and the system LED of the USB-Server should turn on.

Step 2: Setting up the network parameters
The USB-Server comes pre-configured with an activated DHCP client. Should your local network use DHCP for IP-address management you may continue with step 3 without any further action required.
Network settings with WuTility
The pre-configured default IP-Address of the W&T USB-Server is 190.107.233.110
Install the management-tool WuTility available from the product CD included with the USB-Server on a Windows-PC. The PC has to be connected to the same subnet as the USB-Server.
The WuTility-Tool will automatically scan the network for connected W&T devices on startup. Select your USB-Server form the list of found devices and click on the IP Address button in the tool bar of the WuTility application.

The newly opened dialog gives you the option to set the USB-Server into static IP mode for manually assigning IP-address, subnet mask and gateway. Enter the values in accordance to your local network setup and confirm using the OK button.
The USB-Server will accept the new settings and automatically perform a reboot. After approximately 30 seconds the USB-Server should be available with the new IP parameters and can be found e.g. by performing a new scan with WuTility.

? IP assignment
A more detailed description of the available methods for assigning the network parameters can be found in the section Assigning/Changing IP Parameters.

Step 3: Installating the W &T USB-Redirector
Install the W&T USB Redirector on the desired Windows-PC (Windows 7 or higher).
You can download the installer from the USB-Servers web interface or from the online datasheet at http://www.wut.de/53665.
Alternatively you can install the software from the product CD included with the USB-Server.
The installation requires adminstrator privileges on the Windows-PC.
In addition to the actual core driver the associated configuration- and management tool is installed in the newly created program group W&T USB Redirector.
ℹ WHQL Certification
To allow publishing of updates of the W&T USB Redirector as soon as possible, the driver is not WHQL certified. To successfully finish the installation the corresponding  message from the Windows logo test must be acknowledged with Continue installation.
If you need a WHQL certified version, please contact your local distributor or W&T directly.
? Installation
More details concerning the installation of the W&T USB Redirector can be found in the section The W&T USB-Redirector.

Step 4: Connecting to a USB-Device
The configuration tool can be started from the program group W&T USB Redirector.
The local subnet will automatically be scanned for W&T USB Servers and attached USB devices on startup.

ℹ Inventory
Should the Windows-PC and the USB-Server not be connected to the same subnet, the USB-Server has to be manually added to the inventory via the menu bar option Devices->Insert New

Quick connecting to a USB device
Select the desired USB device in the inventory and use the Claim button in the tool bar. Similar to a local connection the USB device is now inserted into the Plug&Play system of Windows. The device-specific driver installation takes place automatically and the USB device can then be used just as if it were connected to a local USB port on the computer.
In the default configuration USB devices claimed using the quick connect will be released when closing the configuration tool or by using the Release button in the tool bar.
After releasing a USB device it may be claimed again by other users.

ℹ Claim settings
The type of connection can be configured more thoroughly using the Advanced button in the tool bar.
The pre-configured default setting is „until the configuration tool exits“

Advanced incorporating settings
This dialog provides advanced options for incorporating and enabling the USB de-vice. For example, the device can be claimed even before a user login in Windows by using a permanent connection.
Other options include time-limited incorporation, automatic incorporation when running certain programs or print jobs, rules for competing access to USB devices and camera specific modes.

? USB Redirector
More details concerning the different options of the W&T USB Redirector can be found in the section The W&T USB-Redirector.

Assigning/Changing IP Parameters

After the hardware installation of the USB-Server, the IP address and other network settings, such as the subnet mask and gateway, have to be set according to the local network environment. Please ask the local responsible system  administrator for valid settings for your application.
The pre-configured IP-Address of the USB-Server is 190.107.233.110

• Setting the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address using the management tool WuTility
• Setting the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address using the DHCP protocol
• Changing the IP parameters using Web-Based-Management

2.1 Managing the USB-Server network parameters
The USB-Server can be operated in two different modes with respect to its network parameters.
Static IP address, subnet mask and gateway are stored in the non-volatile setup of the USB-Server, and the DHCP protocol is disabled. The parameters set using this method remain stored even after power interruptions and resets until they are changed using WuTility or Web-Based-Management.
DHCP (factory default settings)
The DHCP protocol is enabled and the USB-Server attempts to obtain its IP parameters from a DHCP server located in the network. If no DHCP server is available or the attempt to obtain an IP address is rejected, the USB server operates using the factory default fallback IP address 190.107.233.110. When switching from Static to DHCP mode using WuTility or Web-Based-Management, the USB-Server reverts to this default IP address until valid new parameters are assigned.

2.2 Operation with DHCP
Many networks are setup for centralised and dynamic assignment of network settings via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). In its delivery state and after a reset to factory default settings the USB-Server acts as an DHCP client. This way, it is often sufficient to connect the USB-Server to the local network and the IP parameters are dynamically assigned. The following parameters can be configured using DHCP:

• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway

ℹ Discovery of devices
Should the USB-Server have inadvertently accepted IP parameters from a DHCP server it is always possible to find the current settings using the management tool WuTility. The same tool can also be used to set the USB-Server into static  mode of operation, allowing the user to set the IP parameters to a valid state.

2.2.1 Activating DHCP mode
DHCP protocol is activated by switching from Static mode to DHCP mode using the WuTility Tool or the Web-Based Management of the USB-Server. The previous static IP address is then deleted and the DHCP protocol is enabled. The  USB- Server returns to its default address 190.107.233.110 until new network parameters are assigned by a DHCP server.

• Activating using the management tool WuTility Select the desired USB-Server in the device list and click on the IP Address button. In the following dialog window check the radio button DHCP and then confirm with the Continue button.
• Activating using Web Based Management In the menu Home r Config r USB-Server r LAN select the option Enable DHCP and click on the Send button. To save the new setting in the USB-Server, select Logout and Save.

ℹ DHCP
Switching from Static to DHCP mode causes the device to revert from the static IP address to the factory default setting 190.107.233.110. If the IP assignment using DHCP fails, for example because no DHCP server is available, the USB- Server may no longer be reachable, especially in routed network environments. Reactivating Static mode using WuTIlity can only be done using a computer in the same subnet.

2.2.2 Deactivating DHCP mode
DHCP mode is deactivated by switching from DHCP mode to Static mode using the WuTility Tool or the Web-Based-Management on the USB-Server. In both cases the new values for IP address, subnet mask and gateway address must be manually specified.

• Deactivating using the WuTility management tool
  Select the desired USB-Server from the device list and click on the IP Address button. In the resulting dialog window activate the Static radio button. After entering the new IP address and the valid subnet mask and gateway address
  click on the Continue button.

• Deactivating using Web Based Management
  In the menu Home r Config r USB-Server r LAN deactivate the Enable DHCP option. After entering the new IP address as well as the valid subnet mask and gateway address click on the Send button. Clicking on Logout and Save  saves the new settings in the USB-Server and the device can be accessed using the new IP address.

2.2.3 System name
To support automated updating of the DNS system using the DHCP server, the USB-Server identifies itself with its system name within the DHCP protocol. The factory default name is USB-Server- followed by the last three bytes of the  Ethernet address.
For example the factory default system name of a USB-Server having Ethernet address 00:c0:3d:01:02:03 is USB-Server-010203. The system name of the USB- Server can be changed using Web Based Management.
2.2.4 Lease time
The lease time determined and sent by the DHCP server specifies the duration for which the assigned IP address is valid. After half the lease time has expired the USB-Server attempts to extend the time and update the address. If this is  not possible by the time the lease time expires, for example because the DHCP server can no longer be reached, the USB-Server deletes the IP address and reverts to the factory default address 190.107.233.110. At the same time a cyclical search for alternate DHCP servers is started. Because the USB-Server has no realtime clock installed, the lease time for the current IP address is lost on reset. After the restart a corresponding update request is sent to the original DHCP server. If the server cannot be reached at this point in time, the USB-Server deletes the IP address and reverts to the factory default address 190.107.233.110.
At the same time a cyclical search for alternate DHCP servers is started. In DHCP mode the remaining lease time as well as the current IP address is displayed on the Web page Home r Properties.

ℹ Reserved DHCP addresses
A reset to the factory-side IP address 190.107.233.110 causes all open connections to W&T USB Redirectors to be closed. To prevent faults of this kind we recommend using reserved IP addresses in the DHCP server.

2.2.5 Reserved IP addresses
The USB-Server is designed as a TCP server and therefore provides services which can be used as needed by computer-side W&T USB Redirectors. Since the IP address of the USB-Server is needed to open such a connection, it is often useful to reserve a known IP address for the USB-Server in the DHCP server settings. This is generally done by linking the IP address to be assigned to the unique Ethernet address of the USB-Server, which can be found on the sticker on the slim side of the housing.

2.2.6 Dynamic IP addresses
Fully dynamic address assignment, where the USB-Server gets another IP address after each restart or after expiration of the lease time, only makes sense in network environments with automatic cross-connection between the DHCP and DNS services. This means when a new IP address is assigned to the UBS-Server, the DHCP server then also automatically updates the DNS system.

2.3 Static mode of operation
In static mode the USB-Server uses static network parameters and the DHCP protocol is disabled.
There are two ways of assigning the static values for IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
2.3.1 Assigning static IP parameters using WuTility
The Windows tool WuTility in version 3.70 and higher supports scanning for and managing USB-Servers, e.g. by altering the following network settings:

• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway address
• Switching between static and DHCP

To assign these parameters the PC and USB-Server must be located in the same physical subnet, i.e. the USB-Server and PC may not be separated by a router. Even if the current parameters of the USB-Server do not match the subnet settings of the PC, WuTility is able to reach the USB-Server as long as no routing needs to take place. Any system password set in the USB-Server must, however, be known.
Installation of WuTility
The quickest way to install WuTility is using the Install button on the start screen of the product CD included with the product.
Afterwards, start WuTility from the start menu
Start r Programs r Wutility Version 4 r WuTility
Starting the assignment dialog
Make sure that both the USB-Server and the computer are connected to the same physical subnet. After starting, WuTility automatically searches the local network for connected W&T network devices and creates an inventory list. This search procedure can be repeated as often as desired by clicking on the Scan button:
Within the inventory the desired USB-Server can be identified by its MAC address.
For initial installations the IP address is 190.107. 233.110.

Select the desired USB-Server and then click on the IP address button:
In the resulting dialog window activate the radio button Static and enter the desired values for the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.

Should the USB-Server have a passport set, you may at this stage be prompted to enter the system password. Then the network parameters are stored in the USB-Servers non-volatile memory.
All further settings are made using Web-Based-Management of the USB-Server and your browser of choice. To open the USB-Servers web interface select it in the inventory and click on the Browser button in the tool bar:

ℹ Web-Based-Management
Additional information about management of the USB-Server can be found in the section Web-Based-Management.
ℹ System password
Changing the network parameters is protected by the system password. To prevent unauthorized use, we recommend assigning a system password for operating USB-Servers.

2.3.2 Assigning static
IP parameters using WBM In its delivery state and after a reset to the factory default settings the USB-Server operates in DHCP mode. As long as no address is assigned by a DHCP server, the USB-Server can also be reached by its default IP address 190.107.233.110. Switching to Static mode and assigning the new IP parameters can also be done using Web-Based-Management and a browser. In contrast to address assigning using WuTility, initial startup of multiple USB-Servers using the methods described in the following can only be done one after the other. Only after a USB-Server has received its new IP address can the next USB-Server be connected to the network. Please check with the responsible network adminstrator to check the new network settings against your local network setup. On the computer side one of the two following conditions must be met:

• The IP address of the computer used is in the subnet range 190.107.0.0 or is temporarily changed to an appropriate value. You need administrator rights to change the IP address of a computer. Notify your responsible network administrator before making changes to the network settings of a computer.
• A fixed route which directs the IP address 190.107.233.110 to the local network is set up on the computer. Administrator rights are required in order to set up such a route. The command line syntax for creating a fixed route under Windows is: route ADD 190.107.233.110 MASK 255.255.255.255 [IP address of the PC]

Finally, start your browser of choice and enter the URL http://190.107.233.110 in the address line. You can now change the network settings to the desired values using the USB-Servers web interface.

Hardware – Interfaces and indicators

• Supply voltage via PoE and external
• Ethernet port
• USB ports
• LED indicators

3.1 Supply voltage
Power for the W&T USB-Server can be provided either via PoE or from an external power supply. Connecting an external supply voltage and a PoE infrastructure at the same time is not permitted.
The current draw can be found in the technical appendix.
3.1.1 PoE-Supply
The model 53665 USB-Server is suitable for use in PoE environments according to IEEE802.3af. Here the supply voltage is supplied by the network infrastructure through the RJ45 terminal. The USB-Server supports both phantom power using data pairs 1/2 and 3/6 as well as power through the unused wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8.
The USB-Server identifies itself as a Power Class 3 device (power consumption from 6.49W to 12.95W).
3.1.2 External Supply
As an alternative to PoE, the USB-Server can also be powered via the plug-in screw terminal located on the bottom side of the housing. The DC voltage used must be in the following range:

• DC voltage: 24V (-10%) – 48V (+10%)
  The W&T USB Server input is reverse polarity protected. Proper function does, however, require the following polarity setting:

NOTE
Only potential-free power supplies may be used for powering the model 53665 USB-Server. Their reference ground for the output voltage must not have a direct connection to the PE conductor.

3.2 Ethernet connector
The USB-Server Industry has an IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3af (PoE) compatible RJ45 network terminal.
3.2.1 Link state
The link state is indicated by the two LEDs built into the RJ45 receptacle.

• Speed/Activity
  Orange = 100Mbit/s link
  Orange, blinking <=> 100Mbit/s link with activity

• FD/HD
  ON <=> Full-Duplex link
  OFF <=> Half-Duplex link

3.2.2 10/100BaseT
The network connection is made using the shielded RJ45 socket and a max. 100m long shielded patch cable. The autocrossing function allows both 1:1 and crossed patch cables to be used.
The network connection is galvanically isolated from the supply voltage and the USB ports to at least 500Vrms

• Auto Negotiation: 10/100BaseT, Full/Half Duplex
  In its factory default setting the USB-Server uses Auto-Negotiation mode. To prevent communication problems caused by e.g. a duplex mismatch, we recommend also setting Auto-Negotiation mode the switch or hub the USB- Server is connected to.

This way, both the transmission speed and the duplex procedure are automatically negotiated and correspondingly set in the devices.

3.3 USB Ports
The USB standard specifies both the wiring of the port and the names of the signal lines. The configuration shown below corresponds to a USB standard port. Both USB ports are able to provide devices with 5V and a maximum of 500mA each, independently of each other. To prevent hardware damage the respective USB port is automatically disconnected when overload is present. The overload state is indicated by the red State LED of the respective port.

Both ports of the W&T USB-Server conform with USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 with transmission speeds of 1.5 Mbit/s (Low), 12 Mbit/s (Full) and 480 Mbit/s (High). This means most USB devices using the transfer modes Control, Interrupt, Bulk and Isochronous are supported.
ℹ USB Hot-Plugging In accordance with the USB standard, connecting and unplugging USB devices is possible at all times and permissible from a purely electrical point of view (hot-plugging). To prevent data loss, e.g. when using flash drives, we recommend disconnecting devices only when there is no active connection between a network computer and the USB device.

3.4 LED indicators
In addition to the LEDs integrated in the RJ45 connector for the network connection (see section on Ethernet connection), the USB Server has a System LED as well as two Status LEDs for each of the USB ports.

• System-LED (green/red)
  Green <=> Power supply and System OK
  Green, blinking<=> System start, Firmware-Update or Factory Default settings
  Red <=> System error

• State-LEDs (green/red)
  Green <=> The USB port is currently in use by a network connection
  Red, blinking <=> The USB-Server detected a higher than allowed current consumption, but the USB supply can still be maintained
  Red <=> The USB-Server has disabled the USB supply, due to either an overload condition or to reset the connected usb device, e.g. because the device was unplugged by the USB Redirector

The W&T USB Redirector

The W&T USB Redirector consists of both a virtual host controller designed as a Windows core driver as well as a corresponding configuration tool. The core drivertakes care of system-side processing of the USB handling.
The  associated configuration tool scans the network for available USB-Servers and allows the connected USB devices to be plugged and unplugged with just a click of the mouse.

• System requirements
• Installation and uninstallation
• Using the configuration tool
• Configuring the W&T USB Redirector

4.1 System overview
While the USB Server assumes the hardware-side adaptation, the USB Redirector is the software-side counterpart. It is implemented as a Windows core driver and, as a virtual USB host controller, represents the link between the USB Server, the Windows Plug & Play system and the device-specific drivers.
Configuration of the USB Redirector is registry-based using the USB Redirector tool in the Windows Start menu. In addition to this, it is also possible to control the USB Redirector from the commandline for script based configuration using the provided commandline tool usbcontrol.exe.
? Script based configuration
More information regarding the script based configuration can be found in the section Script-controlled integration of USB devices
After successfully plugging a USB device via the USB Redirector, it will be made available to the system just as if it were locally connected. Connections to USB devices are exclusive, i.e. a simultaneous connection attempt by a competing USB Redirector will be rejected and can be established only after the prior connection has been closed.

? Online Help
Additional and more up-to-date information about the individual configuration options can be found in the online help of the W&T USB Redirector.
4.1.1 System requirements
On the system side, the following requirements must be met:

• Operating system Windows 7/8/8.1/10 incl. 64-bit and server editions
• Login as Administrator or with Administrator privileges

4.1.2 Supported USB modes
The W&T USB-Server conforms with USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 with transmission speeds of 1.5 Mbit/s (Low), 12 Mbit/s (Full) and 480 Mbit/s (High). This means most USB devices using the transfer modes Control, Interrupt, Bulk and  Isochronous are supported.
4.1.3 Maximum number of USB devices
Although the USB-Server is designed for direct connection of two USB devices, connection of an external USB hub per USB port is also supported. This allows a maximum of 8 USB devices to be connected and incorporated through the  USB Port Redirector into Windows systems. It should be noted however that some multi-function devices already present themselves as a hub to the system.
4.1.4 Port Numbers
In order to keep the configuration effort of the firewall in protected environments to a minimum, the entire network communication takes place on a single, configurable TCP port (factory default = 32032). This port number can be changed from the USB Server web pages in the menu branch Home r Config r USB-Server r Network-Service
Any installed security components (software or hardware firewall, security suites etc.) must allow communication over this port number without delay. This is, however, not strictly necessary for the UDP port 8513 used for automatic  inventorying.
Inserting the USB-Servers can be done manually in this case.
? Inventory
More details regarding the inventory are available in the section The Inventory

WHQL Certification
To make it possible to publish updates to the W&T USB Redirector as soon as pos­sible, the driver is not WHQL certified. To successfully finish the installation the corresponding message from the Windows logo test must be acknowledged with Continue installation. If you need a WHQL certified version, please contact your local distributor or W&T directly.

Installation over an existing USB Redirector installation
Usually installation of the W&T USB Port Redirector is done as an update to any al­ready present older version. All previously setup settings and connection parame­ters made remain intact and are available after the installation unchanged.

Version dependencies between USB-Server and USB-Redirector
When downloading the USB Redirector, be aware of any instructions pertaining to the firmware versions of the USB Server which may be required. If necessary you may also need to also update the USB Server firmware when updating the USB Redi­rector.

4.2.3 Uninstalling
For uninstalling, the program group USB Redirector has its own Uninstall entry. Alter-natively, you can uninstall using the Windows software management function in the Control Panel.

4.3 The Inventory
The inventory in the configuration tool lists the available USB-Servers with the connected USB devices along with additional information in a tree structure.

Claiming USB devices

Connections to USB devices are managed by the USB Redirector. Integrating the desired USB device incorporates it into the Plug & Play system in Windows, and the necessary drivers are installed and loaded. Afterwards, the device can  be used just as if it were locally connected.
• Quick connection of USB devices
• Advanced claiming of USB devices
• Releasing USB devices
• Script-controlled integration of USB devices

5.1 System behaviour and conflict resolution
A USB device can only be used by one PC at any given time. Only after the prior connection has been closed can a new connection to the device be opened by a different computer. The information as to whether a USB device is already in use can be found in the Users column in the inventory list. The procedure described below for including a USB device is irrespective of any conflict. In other words, integration can be accomplished in the USB Redirector even if the desired USB device is currently being used by another station. If the desired USB device is in use, the USB Port Redirector cyclically attempts to open a connection. Conflict protection refers to the respective USB port to which the device is connected. This means a simultaneous access to different USB ports on the same USB-Server from two different workstations does not pose a problem.

5.2 Quick claiming of USB devices
Select the desired USB device in the inventory list of the configuration tool and click the Claim button:
An immediate connection to the selected USB device is opened without any further configuration dialog. After initial installation of the USB Redirector this is done without any special options, and  the connection remains open until either the Release button is activated or the configuration tool is closed.
The type of connection initiated by the Claim button can be adjusted to special requirements.
To do this, activate the desired options in the Advanced dialog and then check Use as standard  at the bottomof the window.
? Application examples
Application examples such as operation of dongles or cameras can be found in the appendix

5.3 Advanced claiming of USB devices
Select the desired USB device in the inventory list of the configuration tool and click the Advanced button:
Divided into the following four function groups, the Advanced dialog allows you to activate various options for claiming the USB device.

If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version  or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to  the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software  generally.

BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE  COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED  WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE  DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS  PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM  (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
