1 Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the AnywhereUSB® Remote I/O
Concentrator.
Product Overview
The AnywhereUSB® Remote I/O Concentrator is the first remote
networking solution to utilize USB over IP® technology, breaking the
traditional five meter distance limitation between USB device and host.
Now USB devices may be located anywhere on a wired or wireless LAN –
without a locally attached host PC. Since the host PC or server may be
located remotely, AnywhereUSB enables devices to be deployed in harsh
or non-secure environments, making it ideal for point-of-sale, kiosks,
surveillance, industrial automation, or any mission-critical enterprise
application. This Ethernet-attached solution provides five USB ports to
connect peripheral devices such as bar-code scanners and receipt
printer, as well as Digi’s Watchport®/V2 USB Camera and Watchport
Sensors.
