USB Device Connectivity

Silex USB device servers allow users to connect virtually any USB device to a wired or wireless network using USB over IP technology. This capability is made possible by Silex’s SX-Virtual Link USB over IP software. The software emulates a direct USB port connection on Windows or Macintosh systems and transfers the packets out over the network using TCP/IP to the USB device connected to the Silex USB Device Server. This method ensures full compatibility with the USB device driver and software applications.
