• 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.
1 High-speed support When storages with specific formats are simply connected to DS-600, they
will be available as NAS in the network.
