Keyspan USB Server software to free a location for the next USB device.
If you need to have more than 8 USB Server, configure your next 8 servers to use a
different UDP port. Once you have done this, use the USB Software's Local UDP
Port menu item to switch between your first 8 servers and your next 8 servers.
Tech Note: Using One USB Server With Multiple Users :
Only 10 users can connect to a single or set of USB servers using the same UDP port.
You can support more users by setting up additional usb servers with a different UDP
port numbers.
Performance Comparison: USB Server vs Built-In USB Ports
Generally, performance of a USB device is best when connected to a built-in USB port.
However, this is not always the case. In our compatibility testing we observed instances in which
USB devices operated more quickly on the USB Server than they do when connected to a USB
port. We also observed instances in which devices connected to a USB Server operated more
slowly than they do when connected to a USB port. There is no rule of thumb that we can offer
for comparing the performance of a USB device connected to a USB Server vs the same device
connected to a built-in USB port. Optimizing USB device performance is a primary objective for
USB Server software updates that Keyspan will release in 2004.
