External USB Devices: USB Over IP
AnywhereUSB® hubs, featuring Digi’s patented USB over IP® technology, make it easy to connect two to five USB devices anywhere on a wired or wireless network – without locally attached host PCs. AnywhereUSB® hubs can also be accessed within a virtual operating system. The AnywhereUSB® TS model also adds up to four RS-232 serial ports, enabling the mixing of USB and serial ports on the same network connection. Relocating the host PC to a remote location translates to smaller workstations, enabling deployment without a local PC in kiosks, ATMs, restaurant kitchens, manufacturing lines or any hostile or non-secure area where having a local PC is not practical.
