The USB device server connects your Multi-Function or All-In-One printer to your network. It instantly allows your family members or co-workers to print, scan, fax and store from anywhere across a LAN, taking full advantage of its capabilities including the printer's status monitoring function. The USB device server is also ideal to network various USB devices creating a virtual link for anyone to access the devices from anywhere on the network. It enhances productivity and protects the investment for your USB products. The USB device serve comes with a smart utility "SX Virtual Link" which allows you to visually manage all of your networked USB devices in one window over the network. Remotely know the connected device availability on a real time basis. Set your individual USB device application tools to be launched automatically when the device is connected to your PC through the SX-1000U. It is as if the device were connected locally.
