Page 3: Introduction
Introduction The Peripheral Server 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. -
