{ARTISOFT'S AUI INTERFACE(TM) KIT FOR THE ARTISOFT(TM) PEER-
{HUB(TM) CONCENTRATOR NOW SHIPPING
{When Combined with Artisoft's Peer-Hub Concentrator, Provides
{Internal Bridge and Connection Between 10BASE-T and Coax
{Ethernet Networks
Artisoft' new AUI Interface Kit which, when combined with
Artisoft's Peer-Hub Concentrator, provides an internal bridge
and connection between 10BASE-T and coax Ethernet networks.
According to Dave Hallmen, Artisoft's Vice President of Sales and
Marketing, "The AUI Interface Kit allows network users to take
advantage of the Peer-Hub concentrator's flexibility in combining
coax and 10BASE-T Ethernet cabling within a network." The AUI
Interface Kit includes two pulse transformer chips and an AUI
Interface cable attached. Installation is as easy as plugging the
two transformer chips and the AUI Interface cable into the
Peer-Hub concentrator.
A complete thin or thick coax Ethernet segment can then be
connected to an AE-3 Ethernet adapter (which supports thin and
thick coax cabling in addition to 10BASE-T), and thus, to the
10BASE-T network. The Peer-Hub concentrator is a complete
10BASE-T hub residing in a host PC. It has five external 10BASE-T
ports using modular RJ45 telephone-style jacks that can connect
to any standard 10BASE-T adapters. Its network management
software allows the host PC to view the status of all ports, as
well as activate or disable each port individually. Plus, onboard
EEPROM saves the complete network configuration to memory,
guarding against power outage.
The Peer-Hub concentrator also has three internal connectors
designed to connect with other Artisoft products. One provides
an internal 10BASE-T connection to Artisoft's AE-1/T(TM),
AE-2/T(TM) or AE-3 Ethernet adapters without using one of the
five external RJ45 ports. Another internal connector is used to
link multiple Peer-Hub concentrators together; up to four per PC.
The third option, which requires the AUI Interface Kit, provides
an internal coax connection between the Peer-Hub concentrator and
an AE-3 Ethernet adapter. Used in this manner, the AUI Interface
Kit creates a bridge between the 10BASE-T network on the hub and
the coax Ethernet segment attached to the AE-3 Ethernet adapter.
Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of hardware and
software for local area networks including the LANtastic(R) Local
Area Network. The LANtastic network is a peer-to-peer network
that allows users of IBM(R)-compatible computers to share
programs, data and peripheral devices such as printers, hard drives, tape backups and CD-ROMs. For more information about
