Silex SX-DS-4000U2 High Performance USB Device Server Ethernet LAN Purple,White print server

The SX-DS-4000U2 is a High-Performance-USB-Device-Server with an extreme CPU power of 800Mhz. With help of the USB Virtual Link technology from silex technology any type of USB device can be easily networked. Printers, Scanners, Hard Disks, Dongles and cardreaders can be used over the network over 2 USB HiSpeed ports of the SX-DS-4000U2 as if they were locally connected by USB cable to the PC. Multiple users can access the same USB device consecutively, even if it is located remotely.

The Gigabit Ethernet technology combined with the high performance CPU allows the SX-DS-4000U2 to transmit data faster than predecessors, which is especially useful for devices like document scanners and hard disks.
Also USB audio devices or webcams are supported with full speed (12 Mbit/s) and HiSpeed (480 Mbit/s) in isochronous transfer mode (data streaming).

If the Device Server is not used for some time, the USB bus will be powered down to save energy. The energy saving mode automatically gets disabled, once the USB device is started to be used again.

The device is also a full featured print server, supports GDI printers and also the standard printing protocols like LPR/IPP and RAW printing on a standard TCP/IP port.
