Manage ISOCH high-speed mode

Isochronous USB device transfer is used to transfer audio and video streams. Generally, isochronous USB devices are cameras, microphones, speakers, and other data-streaming devices.

Note When connecting isochronous USB devices to a Connect EZ 16/32, refer to Digi's recommendations to best support multiple webcams and higher resolutions: Connect isochronous USB devices to an Connect EZ 16/32

A high performance isochronous feature is available with AnywhereUSB. This feature ensures that a predictable amount of bandwidth is provided to an isochronous USB device connected to a Hub to ensure consistent data flow.

This feature is enabled in the AnywhereUSB Manager by default, and should remain enabled unless your Isochronous USB device does not function correctly with it enabled. You can disable this feature to attempt to allow older Isochronous USB data-streaming devices to operate when connected to a Hub over a network.
