• USB connect password function

Password configuration is available for each USB port. DS-600 manages
users, who can connect to a specific USB device.

3 Specialized features for USB devices

• Isochronous Transfer mode
USB devices such as Webcams or USB speakers, which require consecutive
and real-time data transmission, can also be used in a network environment.
DS-600 supports both Full Speed and High Speed.

• Standard TCP/IP printing (LPR/RAW)

DS-600 supports generally-used network printing protocols: "Raw mode
• You can remotely operate USB devices (connect, disconnect, etc.)
• You can send a disconnect request when the shared USB device is in use.

it is connected to a printer.

• NAS (Network Attached Storage) functions

Features Storages such as USB hard disk drives can be used as NAS.
