• Compatible with bulk or interrupt type USB devices

description

AnywhereUSB hubs, featuring patented USB over IP technology, make it easy to connect two to five USB devices anywhere on a wired or wireless network – without locally attached host PCs. The AnywhereUSB TS model also adds up to four RS-232 serial ports, enabling the mixing of USB and serial ports on the same network connection. AnywhereUSB software drivers are loaded onto a host PC or server so that remote devices may communicate with the host, without changing existing application software. Drivers work equally well in physical servers or virtual machines in virtualized environments. Peripheral devices can be centrally managed and monitored from a remote server or PC via an IP address. Relocating the host PC to a remote location translates to smaller workstations, enabling deployment without a local PC in kiosks, ATMs, restaurant kitchens, manufacturing lines or any hostile or non-secure area where having a local PC is not practical.
