What is SX Virtual Link?

Silex has created Software for Windows or Macintosh computers called SX-Virtual Link which precisely emulates a USB port on each of the computers that want to access the USB device over the network. The computers think that they are communicating with the device via a direct USB connection, but they are actually communicating over the network with a

Silex USB Device Server product.

What is a USB Device Server?

It is a network device that uses Silex USB Virtual Link technology to allow USB to be connected and shared on a network. Thanks to the USB Virtual Link technology from Silex technology, virtually any USB device can be used on a network, just as though they were connected with a USB cable.

Features

● High-Performance

Higher data throughput due to optimized performance and Gigabit connection: Extremely powerful

CPU (800MHz) and two USB 2.0 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 server is used again.

● Print Server Function

Supports standard TCP/IP printing (LPR/IPP/RAW)

The product supports the general RAW-mode, LPR-mode and IPP-mode network printing protocols.

When the product is connected to a printer, the standard Windows print function can be used to print.

AutoConnect Feature

The Printer AutoConnect feature allows multiple computers to easily share USB printer over the network by making an automatic connection to the printer. Then automatically disconnecting 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. Both Full Speed and HiSpeed are supported.

The network is searched for the product and the connected USB devices; the search results are shown in an overview on the main screen.

If another user is using a shared USB device, a request to respond to this request will automatically lead to a disconnection after a timeout. This makes it easy to share any USB device over a network in home and business enviroments.
