4-Target NVMe Duplicator - Maxi Management Software

Updated on May 18, 2026

The Maxi Management software allows you to connect and manage a duplicator with a PC. Maxi Management software (henceforth referred to as Maxi) is only compatible with Windows PCs.

 

To make the duplicator visible to a network, connect the duplicator to a network router via the RJ45 port on the back of the unit and then make sure “Enable Server Control” is selected in Network settings. You can now manage the duplicator on a computer running Maxi over a LAN.

 

Configuring the Maxi Management Software

 

  1. Run MaxiSetup.exe and follow the instructions to install Maxi.
  2. Run Maxi.exe to launch Maxi.

If it is your first time running Maxi, you should reset the default values.

  1. Click on Setup to open the setup menu.
  2. Click on the Restore Defaults button, and then click on the Apply button.
  3. Click on Connect-to-connect Maxi with the KanguruClone duplicator.

Maxi will detect and attempt to connect to any duplicators on the same LAN.

 

When Maxi establishes a connection with a duplicator, the duplicator’s screen will change to a blue colored theme and the machine will appear in Maxi under the Machine Summary tab.
