StarTech.com Launches “Connectivity Tools” The First Software Utilities to Simplify Enterprise IT Management for a Broad Range of Connectivity Accessories
The suite includes four free utilities that **improve IT infrastructure performance and security and are compatible with ethernet enabled docking stations, hubs, adapters and switches

StarTech.com, the leading manufacturer of IT connectivity accessories designed for IT Professionals, has released a new enterprise software suite designed to improve IT infrastructure performance and security. Connectivity Tools is an innovative suite of utilities offering a range of benefits to the IT professional and business user. The only software suite on the market that works with a wide range of IT connectivity accessories, including docking stations, hubs, display adapters, and KVM switches, Connectivity Tools is one powerful suite of utilities for a broad range of business needs.

The Connectivity Tools software is free to use and improves the functionality of StarTech.com’s wide offering of connectivity accessories, transforming them into integrated tools in an organization’s IT infrastructure. While most software utilities on the market limit compatibility to docking stations, the truly unique feature of the Connectivity Tools software is its compatibility with all StarTech.com Ethernet enabled connectivity accessories. Whether it is a docking station, USB hub, USB Ethernet adapter, display adapter, or KVM switch, if it is Ethernet enabled, the Connectivity Tools software will provide IT administrators access to manage and secure the device on their network.

Mac Address Passthrough Utility improves network security by easily identifying and authorizing devices connected to StarTech.com dock or Ethernet adapter. This utility is both Windows and macOS compatible.
USB Event Monitoring Utility protects organizations from a potentially malicious device with the ability to track and log USB accessories connected directly to a laptop, docking station, USB hub or KVM switch on your network.
Wi-Fi Auto Switch Utility allows users access to faster network speeds and enhanced network performance with automatic connections to LAN.

Windows Layout Utility was designed for business users, saving them time and increasing productivity by offering custom windows layouts that capture the size and location of program windows and can be recalled at the click of a button, or automatically restored when connecting to a StarTech.com docking station, display adapter, or KVM switch.

While all four utilities are included in the free-to-download software suite, this is truly a customizable solution, with users having the ability to activate and install the utilities they would find most useful for their organization.

“We developed our new Connectivity Tools software to provide IT professionals with an all-in-one solution to enhance the performance and functionality of their IT accessories,” explains Nirav Gandhi, Vice President Product Development at StarTech.com, “Through a single free software suite, Connectivity Tools allows IT Administrators to uniquely identify and manage their assets in one location, while also enhancing the user experience. As the only suite of utilities currently available that works with a wide range of connectivity accessories, we believe the Connectivity Tools software will transform how IT professionals use and integrate accessories into their IT infrastructure.”
