Certified Wireless USB
L800 Usage and Applications
The L800 is designed for direct integration onto natively wireless peripherals. This includes printers, scanners, modems, and set top boxes, as well as portable devices like MP3 players, cameras, and IP phones. The natural location for a cable modem is near the TV outlet, not near the PC with a long cable snaking across the room. With wireless USB, peripherals like printers can be placed on a second table without a cable hanging between it and the PC.
Many wireless USB peripherals can also connect using wired USB. Since the USB-IF requires the wired port to support cable association, legacy wired USB firmware usually needs to be modified. However, as the L800's USB 2.0 port supports both data transfer and cable association, the L800's driver can manage the cable association without having to involve legacy USB code.
With two USB connections, a peripheral can connect to two computers simultaneously. Alternatively, a peripheral can switch between wired or wireless connections automatically.
