USB Device Server
In addition to the USB server box itself, there is an application which has to be
installed on your computer that creates a virtual USB port for FMS to use to
connect to the Base Station.
There two versions of USB servers available. One uses your wired intranet.
The other contains a WiFi transceiver and connects with a WiFi base station
on your company intranet.
We have tested the base station with the Silex SX-2000U2 wired USB Device
Server and with the Silex SX-2000WG Wireless USB Device Server, and any
similar product should work as well.
A Google search for the term “USB Server” should give you multiple product
choices.
Davis Instruments built its own advanced network. Read more about our
