High Speed USB Device Server

Silex DS-510

The Silex DS-510 is designed to easily connect and share USB  devices over a network. Printers, Scanners, Disk Drives, Card  Readers, or virtually any other USB device can now be enabled  with  network capability. It allows fexibility to place the USB device anywhere on the network instead of needing to be attached  directly to the computer, and multiple users can access the USB device.

Features and Benefits:

• High-Performance  data throughput due to optimized performance and Gigabit connection: Extremely powerful CPU (800MHz) and two USB 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.
• The Printer AutoConnect feature works with the Windows or Macintosh printing system and allows multiple computers to easily share USB printer over the network by making an automatic connection to the printer. Then it will automatically disconnect after the print job is sent making the device server available to the next user.
• 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.
• Best Compatibility with a variety of USB devices over the network, like USB dongles, disk drives, flash drives and other storage media, scanners, printers, digital cameras, USB sound adapters, USB displays, input devices, mixing consoles and many more.
• Virtual environments: The USB Device Server is compatible with virtualization programs and environments such as VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Terminal Server and Hyper-V.

SX-DS-4000U2

The SX-DS-4000U2 is a High-End-USB-Device-Server with an extremeley powerful 800Mhz CPU. 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 with help of the 2 USB HiSpeed ports of the SX-DS-4000U2 as if they were locally connected to the PC. Multiple users can access the same USB device after each other, even if it is located at a distant place.

The Gigabit Ethernet technology combined with the high performance CPU allows the SX-DS-4000U2 to transmit data quite fast, which is especially useful for devices like document scanners and hard disks.
If the device server is not used for a longer time the power supply for the USB bus will be interrupted to save energy. The energy saving mode automatically gets disabled if you use the USB device again.
The device is also a print server and supports GDI printer and also the default printing protocols like LPR/IPP and RAW printing on a standard TCP/IP port.

Technical description:

• Supported Operating Systems: Windows 8/7/Vista/XP, Server 2012/2008/2003, Mac OS X v.10.3-10.8
• Device Interfaces: 2x USB 2.0 Hi-Speed
• Using an optional USB hub, a max. of 15 USB connections are possible
• Network Interfaces: 10/100/1000 Mbps (auto-detect)
• USB Device Server and Print Server in one device
• Compatible with the current printer protocols IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), LPR (Line Printer Remote protocol), RAW and GDI (Graphics Device Interface)
• Particular security due to IP address filter
• 800 MHz CPU, 8MB Flash & 64MB DDR2-RAM

SX-DS-3000WAN

USB Device Server with High-Speed-WLAN-Support

The fast SX-DS-3000WAN is a powerful USB device server for wireless or wired networks. The USB Virtual Link technology from silex technology makes any kind of USB device network-capable 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-3000WAN through a wireless or wired network, just as though they were connected to the local computer. Multiple people can use the same USB device one after the other, and it can be located further away from them.

Supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n:
The device supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n. It is suitable for fast wireless data transfer using WLAN (2.4 and 5-GHz band, up to 300 Mbps) for business or home use.

It also provides Gigabit Ethernet (1000 BASE-T) and two USB 2.0 Hi-Speed ports. This means it can also be used in environments without a WLAN. The simultaneous use of wireless LAN (WLAN) and wired LAN is not supported.

Easy setup:
The SX-DS-3000WAN supports WPS (Wi-Fi protected setup), permitting the fast, easy setup of a secure connection to the WLAN router or access point.

Print server function:
Supports standard TCP/IP printing (LPR/RAW). The product supports the normal network printing protocls for RAW mode and LPR mode. When the product is connected to a printer, the standard Windows print function can be used to print.
