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.
AnywhereUSB is a network-enabled USB hub that connects
peripheral devices anywhere on a Local Area Network –
without a locally-attached host PC.
• Network-enabled USB hub easily connects any USB
device to a LAN
• Ideal for connecting USB and serial devices over the
network in virtualized environments such as VMware
• Creates systems redundancy and increases security
since host PC can be moved to a remote location
• Access and monitor USB and serial devices over a
TCP/IP connection
• Simplies operations and reduces IT support
• Compatible with bulk or interrupt type USB devices
