silex SX-DS-4000U2 USB Device Server

The SX-DS-4000U2 is a high-performance USB device server with an astounding 800 MHz of computing power. The USB Virtual Link technology from silex technology makes any kind of USB device networkcapable in the simplest of manners. Printers, scanners, hard drives, dongles and card readers can be used over the network via a total of 2 USB Hi-Speed ports with the SX-DS-4000U2 just as though they were connected to the local computer. Multiple clients can use the same USB device one after the other, and it can be located further away from them.

• High-performance
  Higher data throughput due to optimized performance and Gigabit connection: Extremely powerful CPU (800 MHz) and two USB 2.0 Hi-Speed ports (TypeA)
• Energy-saver mode
  When the device server is not used for a certain period of time, the power supply to the USB bus is turned off to save energy. The power supply to the USB bus is automatically turned back on when the server is used again.
• Print server function
  Supports standard TCP/IP printing (LPR/IPP/RAW) The product supports the general RAW-mode, LPR-mode and IPP-mode network printing protocols. When the product is connected to a printer, the standard Windows print function can be used to print. By setting up this function using SX Virtual Link, a print job is automatically detected for a configured printer: The connection to the printer is established, the Word print process is executed and the connection is broken again. Thus the device server function simultaneously includes a print server function that is also suitable for GDI printers.
• Isochronous transfer mode
  USB devices such as Webcams or USB sound cards, which require ongoing data transmission in real time, can also be used in the network environment. Both Full Speed and Hi-Speed are supported. Networking of high-quality USB devices The network is searched for the product and the connected USB devices; the search results are shown in an overview on the main screen. If another user is using a shared USB device, a request for use can be sent. It can also be specified that failure to respond to this request will automatically lead to a disconnection after a timeout.
