2.0 Introduction
The revolutionary USB Server utilizes technology 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 UA0079
allows you to use a multifunction combo device, such as a
printer-scanner or printer-fax all-in-one! 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 Logilink UA0079 USB Network Server.
