| Introduction-USB
Connectivity |
|
Most computer devices
available today feature USB connectivity to plug into
one or two USB ports on a desktop PC, laptop, or handheld
computer. USB connectivity provides an expandable, plug-and-play
interface that ensures a standard, low-economy connection
for peripheral devices such as multi-function printers
(MFP) / All-In One printers (AIIO), keyboards, mice, joysticks,
printers, scanners, digital cameras, storage devices,
modems, video conferencing cameras, even sewing machine
and numerous other devices.
USB has a maximum bandwidth in its basic form of 12 Mbps.
USB 2.0, widely known as Hi-Speed USB, dramatically increases
capacity to 480 Mbps.
With so many USB devices available today, you can easily
run out of ports very quickly. USB hubs provide convenient
access to multiple USB devices. However, these devices
typically only remain available to a single user. In an
office environment of any size, workers using numerous
USB devices need a solution that allows for network device
sharing among one to many workgroups.

Device Networking |
|
Relatively new to networking,
a USB device server is designed to provide easy network
accessibility or sharing of USB products. USB device servers
make it possible for USB peripherals to be used and shared
by client PCs on a Local Area Network (LAN) or wireless
LAN.
The wired/wireless USB device networking provides users
with convenience and flexibility to use the connected
USB devices used in various environments; ranging from
home office, small office, education, enterprise workgroup
use, to industrial and medical settings.
