描述 Description

Functional Overview
The GL620USB-A provides a single-chip solution for networking two or more PCs via their USB ports. According to USB protocol, the PC is the host and the device is a slave, where the host initiates all the USB traffic and the slave responds to the host’s requests. In other words, a host cannot talk to another host via USB protocol; instead, a host can only talk to one or more devices. The GL620USB-A’s patent-pending architecture overcomes the USB inherently incompatibility of connecting two or more PCs by providing two independent USB transceivers and SIEs for each host, i.e., data can be transferred in both directions simultaneously.

特性 Features

● Conforms to USB 12Mbps Specification, Version 1.1
● Patented architecture
● Single chip solution for host-to-host communication
● Network driver (NDIS standard) support running on Windows 98 and Windows 2000
● Support TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPX/SPX protocols
● Up to 8.6Mbps transfer rate
● Suitable for mobile and SOHO environment
● Tiniest solution in the market – 16-pin SOP
● On-chip 3.3V output
● 12MHz external clock
● Internal power-on reset
● Power management supportApplications
The windows network driver software comes with GL620USB-A can connect 2 or more PCs via USB ports easily. Genesys Logic also provides Macintosh driver software for GL620USB-A and supports the direct connection between two Macintosh machines. The plug-and-play nature of USB protocol makes the installation and usage of end products very simple.Working with a full-featured windows driver, the GL620USB-A can perform the following functions between two or more PCs:
● File transfer
● Ethernet emulation
● Storage device sharing: hard drive, CD-ROM, floppy, …
● Printer sharing
● Internet sharingWorking with a full-featured Macintosh driver, the GL620USB-A can perform the following functions between two Macintosh machines:
● Ethernet emulation
● Storage device sharing: hard drive, CD-ROM, floppy, …
● Printer sharingWorking with GL620USB-A and its Windows/Macintosh drivers, PC can provide Internet sharing to Macintosh. GL620USB-A doesn’t support file transfer/sharing function between PC and Macintosh except that the extra third-party software is installed.The GL620USB-A networking function can be integrated with the following form factors:
● USB standalone cable
● USB standalone hub
● USB monitor with hub
● PC host
