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cards and troubleshooting IRQ conflicts have all been replaced
by simple plug and play connections.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computers have been replaced by fast (up to 480Mbps) USB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.
