Our complete Web filtering service combined with the USR8200 provides an affordable, flexible and ideal foundation for any small office or home network.” This latest upgrade for the USR8200 also implements print server functionality, taking advantage of the firewall’s USB 2.0 ports. Now, in addition to using the FireWire and USB Ports and integrated File/FTP Server capability for attaching external storage drives for network attached storage, the USB Ports can be used to make any USB printer into a networked printer. Add one of the newly available U.S. Robotics’ 120GB or 250GB USB 2.0 + FireWire Storage Drives and the USR8200 becomes the core of a home or small business network.
