Yes I understand that it should work but mine doesn't. I bought it for the very reason of connecting to a drive system and Digital Setting Circles some time ago but it won't work.

I am not a computer spert but there maybe some issue or design limitation to the one I have that won't allow it to be used in this way.
Maybe the others will work but I would query it first with the manufacturer before buying one.

the USB to IP bridge is just for that, to transport USB traffic over IP.

For serial data, you need the USB to serial adaptor which i've mentioned.
so you attach this inline to your bridge for serial ports which will provide serial communication over a COM port (the driver maps to a virtual COM port), and you use the USB ports for USB devices like the cameras.
