Overview
The UN-201 USB 2.0 Data-Link Cable represents an innovative breakthrough in peer group networking. Peer-to-peer is often the best choice in home or small office network configurations, since computers can share their resources and peripherals without the use of a dedicated server.
Prior to the UN-201, this type of networking was carried out on a very limited basis through slow parallel port connections, or else required setting up an expensive network that involved the complicated installation and configuration of network expansion cards.
Now, with the UN-201 USB 2.0 Data-Link Cable, building a home or small office network is as easy as plugging cables into the computers’ USB ports. Opening the case to install network cards and troubleshooting IRQ conflicts have all been replaced by simple plug and play connections.
Slow parallel port transfers among a small number of computers have been replaced by fast (up to 480Mbps) USB data transfers among up to 17 computers. Since the UN-201 uses the familiar Windows interfaces, such as Network Neighborhood and Windows Explorer, there is no new interface or software to learn, making operation smooth and easy.
In addition to basic peer-to-peer networking, the UN-201 also allows the workgroup to link up to an Ethernet based client/server LAN - making all the resources of the Ethernet LAN available to each computer in the group - including the company Intranet, and a direct connection to the Internet.
Thanks to plug and play and the USB bus, there is no easier, faster, more efficient way for a small to medium sized workgroup to share all their resources (data, programs, printers, scanners, etc.), than with a UN-201 USB 2.0 Data-Link Cable based network.
