Introduction
The revolutionary USB Server utilizes technologies that streamlines and
enhances functionalities between USB devices and multiple PCs.
Current solutions from other companies provide minimum functionalities
at high costs. They use significant amounts of resources and effort to
achieve the required features, whereas the USB Server utilizes
significantly less resources for more features. Most solutions allow
printer-only peripheral devices. However, USB Server allows you to use
a multifunction combo device such as a Multiple Function Printers.
Another added benefit is that you can connect multiple
printers/scanners/faxes to the USB Server through a USB Hub. These
are just some of the features that make our product one of the standards
today. The USB Server application provides a user friendly interface
between you and the USB Server, enabling you to monitor, manage and
use the convenient and powerful functions provided by USB Server.
