Peripheral Server Installation Guide (Rev. A) – Page 1
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. Since the host PC or server may be located remotely,
Peripheral Server enables devices to be deployed in harsh or non-secure environments, making it
ideal for point -of-sale, kiosks, surveillance, industrial automation, or any mission-critical enterprise
application. This Ethernet-attached solution provides five USB ports to connect peripheral devices
like bar-code scanners and receipt printers.
Cabling Peripheral Server
To connect the Peripheral Server Concentrator to a network:
1. Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to your Peripheral Server. Then
connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a 10/100 BaseT switch or hub.
2. Connect one end of the power supply* into the back of your Peripheral Server and
the other end into an AC outlet.
*Power to this product may be supplied by a UL Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2” or a UL listed power
supply rated with a minimum rating of 5 V dc 2.5 A if used in the U.S. and Canada or a power supply with similar rating
and approved by your local safety code if it is used elsewhere. For polarity, see the following:
