{TCP / IP
{Connect the LANtastic desktop to powerful computing platforms
The LANtastic network opens access to a vast array of major computing
platforms that use the common language of a TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) system.
A TCP/IP corporate network might include DEC/VAX(R) and DECstations,
Hewlett-Packard(R), Sun(R) or a variety of other workstation
platforms, as well as NCR(R) and AT&T(R) minicomputers, IBM(R)
mainframes and PCs running SCO UNIX(R). LANtastic for TCP/IP software
allows users on a LANtastic PC network to share the host computer's
printers, disk space, data files, applications and more.
Unique to LANtastic for TCP/IP software is its elegant centralized
server configuration. Instead of storing full TCP/IP software on every
station's hard drive, the program's 2.5 megabytes of program kernel
and drivers are available to all workstations on a LANtastic for
TCP/IP server. Workstations on the LANtastic network run a batch file
for access to the TCP/IP server to load the TCP/IP drivers and connect
to the network. This improves performance and simplifies control of
Internet addresses, user names and passwords. It also allows floppy-
based or diskless workstations equal access to the host. You can set
up as many workstations as you wish for TCP/IP access, limited only by
the licensing for one, five, ten or 100 simultaneous TCP/IP
workstations.
LANtastic for TCP/IP allows broader use of corporate resources:
{} Increases efficiency by allowing users to share documents,
spreadsheets and data files with other TCP/IP clients where like
applications (such as Lotus 1-2-3(R) on DOS and UNIX) exist
across the network.
{} Reduces costs for space, time and capital equipment by enabling
terminal emulation for access to non-PC applications and for
interaction with secondary programs previously accessible only
through common-use, centrally-located terminals or additional
desktop terminals.
{} Lets you take advantage of corporate resources for mass storage,
backup and archives elsewhere on the TCP/IP network.
{} Allows TCP/IP clients access to LANtastic local area network
printers.
LANtastic for TCP/IP software supports Domain Name Service, a
centralized host name database application that facilitates host
lookups. It also supports TELNET, which provides the basis for
terminal emulation, including local/remote echo and suppress go-ahead.
FTP, another supported application, allows users to manipulate and
transfer files between the local system and a remote host. The PC FTP
server application, FTPD, provides access to the PC for other FTP
users. Other supported applications include UNIX R-commands, the PING
Internet Control message protocol and the industry-standard Network
File System (NFS) client.
LANtastic for TCP/IP supports DEC VT terminal emulations, including
mouse support in windowing environments; IBM Display Station with
screen sizes, color, extended attributes and status line features;
keyboard remapping between PC and DEC VT or 3270-style keyboards; up
to 25 individual sessions running concurrently in Windows (depending
on available system memory); or six sessions in DOS; and third-party
terminal emulation.
