USB-Server Industry (model 53641)
- USB devices anywhere in the network -
The USB-Server Industry enables redirecting local USB ports to the network. Data traffic between the USB device and its specific driver is tunneled transparently, so that remote USB devices behave as if they were connected locally to your Windows PC. The associated USB Redirector for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 automatically searches the network for USB-Servers. Using a simple mouse click USB devices are assigned (Virtual Plug) to the computer or disconnected ((Virtual Unplug) from it. For automated adding of USB devices using a batch job or script, a command line tool is included.
Applications The number is peripherals having USB ports is enormous - dongles, USB sticks, measuring devices, scales, barcode readers etc. are increasingly equipped with USB interfaces. Especially in industrial environments however the short permissible cable lengths, the absence of galvanic isolation and the lack of flexibility have made use of USB often problematic. A solution to many of these drawbacks is to redirect the USB ports into the network. Computers and USB servers can be anywhere in the world, and every Ethernet connection is by definition galvanically isolated. The alternating use of the USB device by multiple computers is accomplished by a simple mouse click and without cumbersome carrying around and re-plugging the device.
In virtual systems (Vmware, HyperV, Virtual Box etc.) linking the guest systems to the network terminal of the host system is generally a robust affair. In contrast, support of USB devices is usually much less convenient, so that it also makes sense here to access USB peripherals over the network.
Application examples USB device: Manufacturer/Application Dongle: e.g. Wibu, Aladdin, safenet, software security ... Serial USB adapters: e.g. FTDI (often also integrated into industrial peripherals) Barcode scanners: e.g. Datalogic Modems: e.g. AVM Fritz!Card USB Document scanners, printers: e.g. Panasonic, Canon Mass storage devices: e.g. Card readers, memory sticks, integrated device memories
Technical Highlights: Windows core driver USB communication even without user login
True TCP/IP networking Support for USB servers and devices in remote networks also over the internet Script-/batch-controlled plugging Optional elimination of graphical user interface to prevent erroneous operation or for automated plugging Independent USB-Ports Computer A communicates with USB Port 1 and at the same time Computer B communicates with USB Port 2

USB Isolator
USB interfaces in stationary computers unfortunately have the basic drawback of having no galvanic isolation for the signal lines. In many applications in the consumer world this limitation is irrelevant, since the USB devices connected to the PC are generally supplied through the bus and do not have any reference to a second ground or to the ground conductor. In the areas of measurement reading, process control or for example medical technology, galvanic isolation of the connected devices is mandatory in order to prevent ground loops on the USB line.
