- {Slotless Ethernet connectivity for PCs and peripherals
-
- The Artisoft Central Station connectivity processor is a LAN port
- for quickly docking portables and peripherals. It adds expansion
- flexibility without taking up a valuable slot in your computer.
-
- Bring a laptop from the field and plug it into the Central
- Station PC port. The connection provides full access to the
- network, and disconnects without a crash or even a ripple in
- network traffic. Need a printout from your notebook computer?
- Simply connect the notebook to Central Station and you're part
- of the office network. You're ready for hard copy on the network
- printer. When the job is done, disconnect the notebook without a
- fuss.
-
- Bring in a temporary workstation to handle an overload. Instead
- of wasting time reconfiguring your network, just plug the extra
- computer into the Central Station connectivity processor.
-
- Flexible connections are what the Central Station connectivity
- processor is all about. Now you can connect more peripherals to
- your LANtastic or NetWare network and switch between them quickly
- and easily.
-
- On its front panel, Central Station LEDs monitor and display
- connections with the PC, parallel and serial ports, as well as
- the network.
-
- The secret to the Central Station platform is its onboard memory
- which stores, redeploys and adds capabilities. These can be
- modified and upgraded through StationWare applications designed
- specifically for the Central Station platform and sold
- separately.
-
- The Central Station connectivity processor is revolutionary in
- its ability to surpass the limitations in otherwise similar
- products. It multiplies the expandability of both PCs and
- networks, and does so without using a valuable PC slot. It makes
- using a portable computer more practical than ever, and allows
- new peripherals to join the network.
-
- The Central Station processor has a mind of its own that allows
- it to operate independently of the PC, and run StationWare
- software that will endow it with new and ever-increasing
- capabilities.
