{Intelligent Internal 10BASE-T Concentrator
Boost the affordability and ease-of-management of your 10BASE-T network
to new lengths with Artisoft's intelligent, internal Peer-Hub concentrator.
This 8-bit standard 10BASE-T hub connects your network with the less
expensive unshielded twisted-pair cable often found prewired in newer
office buildings.
The Peer-Hub concentrator works with any standard 10BASE-T network.
In conjunction with Artisoft's LANtastic NOS, you and five others can use
the Peer-Hub concentrator simultaneously. The Peer-Hub concentrator
complies with the IEEE 10BASE-T standards of four concentrators and five
segments per network. It will, with the addition of an Artisoft AE-3 adapter
board, connect a coax segment to a 10BASE-T network, without the need
for expensive additional bridging equipment.
The Peer-Hub concentrator is more than just affordable, it takes the
headaches out of network management. Its software allows the host PC
to view the status of all ports and to activate or disable each port
individually. Alarms and audit trails come standard with the Peer-Hub
concentrator's software, so if the status of a port changes, the software
sounds an alarm. Or status changes can be audited to disk for later
review. And with remote access software, such as The Network Eye from
Artisoft, Peer-Hub concentrators can even be controlled from non-host
PCs.
Plus, with its onboard memory, the Peer-Hub concentrator saves your
network configuration. So if you have a power outage, your host PC can
reconfigure the network because the Peer-Hub concentrator's EEPROM
will remember each port's name, physical and wiring location, and whether
that port is active or not.
The Peer-Hub concentrator creates a complete 10BASE-T hub within an
IBM PC, XT, AT, 386, 486 or compatible computer. It works with any
standard 10BASE-T network, including Artisoft's LANtastic and Novell's
NetWare networks.
