BOSTON, MA (February 11, 1992) -- Intellicom, Inc. announced at NetWorld
today TPair-426, TPair-406, and TPair-410, a family of low-cost Novell HMI
(Hub Management Interface) compliant IEEE 802.3 10Base/T Hub Cards
providing superior performance and throughput for networks of up to 250 or
more work stations.

The new TPair-426 and TPair-406 10Base/T and the TPair-410 Ethernet Coax
Hub Cards were developed in cooperation with Novell's HMI development
program. They support networks operating under Novell's Netware, and
Netware Lite. They also provide a server based hub capability for users of
Artisoft's LANtastic, and other popular PC network operating systems. They
may also be installed successfully in pre-10Base/T SynOptics LattisNet,
AT&T StarLan, and many other UTP cabled networks.

The TPair-426 is a full size 6-port 16-Bit card. It's easily installed in a
standard AT ISA bus, and features a 16-Bit network interface compatible
with Novel Netware and Novell Lite.

This network interface allows uncomplicated PC-to-server communications
when an NE2000 compatible network interface card (NIC), for example,
Intellicom's TPair-16T, is installed in the PC.

When installed in a Netware 3.11 server, the 6-port TPair-426 gives the
user a single platform on which to integrate managed connectivity
functions along with file, print, communications, database, and messaging.
Users can easily connect six work stations to the TPair-426, using simple
phone wire, in an economical 10Base/T network configuration.

An uncomplicated expansion path is provided by TPair-406, a 6-port 10Base/T
ISA bus Hub Card with all the features of the TPair-426 without the
integrated NE2000 interface. TPair-406 can stand alone as a six port hub
in a PC network or is easily employed as a "slave" to the TPair-426, when
installed in the same bus.

TPair-406 Hub Cards may be installed in PC work stations and connected to
the TPair-426 via the internal hub bus, creating up to 24-port hub groups.
The TPair-410 coax expansion card is designed to be installed with a
TPair-426 or 406 Hub Card to provide a fast link to a thin Ethernet
(10Base/2) or thick Ethernet (10Base/5) network. The TPair-410 is equipped
with a BNC (Bayonet Locking Connector) and AUI (Auxiliary Unit Interface)
and operates with any number of TPair-426/406 cards when installed in the
same bus. The user needs only to make a simple switch selection to choose
between the BNC or AUI port.

All TPair-426 and TPair-406 10Base/T ports feature autopartitioning. In the
event of bad data travelling to any port, or a break in the connection to
that port, the individual ports take themselves off-line. When the problem
is corrected, the port comes back on-line with no operator intervention.
All 10Base/T ports feature auto-polarity, so when the UTP has mixed wires
the individual ports automatically sort them out.

Both hub cards fully support the interoperability of various devices on the
network. Each is a repeater, sensing changes in voltage on the UTP,
removing out-of-phase timing, or jitter, regenerating data signals and
aligning signal symmetry, then sending the data packet on its way. They
filter all data, rejecting distorted packets. And they disable
transmissions that get "stuck", creating a situation known as "jabber".

This repeater/retiming on all ports allows a TPair-426 or TPair-406 Hub
Card to be placed in a cascade up-stream or downstream from another
10Base/T hub or hub card.

Quick-Net 3000 TPair-426/406/410 Hub Cards provide an economical way to
expand an existing network or create a new work group 10Base/T LAN without
costly additional in-wall wiring. TPair-426 and TPair-406 10Base/T Hub
Cards provide all the functionality of large, stand alone hubs without the
complexity of installation and inherent high cost. This networking
solution is designed to accommodate the needs of the smaller office or
work group requiring simple, affordable installation, set-up, and lasting
use.

Quick-Net 3000 TPair-426/406/410 Hub Cards are products product of
Intellicom, a company providing high quality, lowcost, standards compliant
internetworking products including an SNMP Network Management System,
local Ethernet bridges, 10Base/T concentrators, laptop and PC network
adapters, and 10Base/T-to-AUI transceivers.

Intellicom also manufactures parallel interface extenders, and products
supporting print functions, including network printer servers, peripheral
sharing units, and in-line buffers.

BOSTON, MA (February 11, 1992) -- Intellicom, Inc. announced today at
NetWorld the TPair-206, a preconfigured, network operating system
independent, 10Base/T hub with 6-RJ45 ports and a BNC connector link to
thin Ethernet networks priced at an industry low $53 per port.

The TPair-206 Lite Hub supports PC networks running many popular operating
systems such as Novell Netware, Netware Lite, Banyan Vines, and Artisoft's
LANtastic.

The TPair-206 is small in size, but as powerful as the largest intelligent
multi-port hub on the market. TPair-206 measures only 6 inches wide, is a
mere 9 inches deep, and just 2 inches high.

This miniature Lite Hub features 6-RJ45 ports, each providing IEEE 802.3
10Base/T Ethernet connectivity over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for up
to 6 computers, work stations, or file servers.

TPair-206 has an easy to read front panel packed with three comprehensive
installation and diagnostic LEDs for each 10Base/T port and the system
connection.

A handy BNC (Bayonet Locking Connector) for connection to thin Ethernet
(10Base/2) and full repeater/retiming of the 10Base/T ports gives
TPair-206 users flexibility not always found in larger, more expensive
concentrators. This small, Lite Hub is a robust performer when used as a
stand alone creating a new network, or cascaded from another hub, or when
used to bring another work group on to an existing thin Ethernet network.

Quick-Net 3000 TPair-206 is easily installed, requiring no exotic tools or
special skills. All 10Base/T ports support IEEE 802.3 10Base/T with full
repeater/retiming functionality. Repeater function includes sensing
changes in voltage across the twisted-pair cable, automatically removing
out-of-phase timing of data (called "jitter"), regenerating all data
signals and aligning signal symmetry, and sending the data packets on
their way.

Like it's bigger brothers in the Quick-Net 3000 hub family, TPair-206
filters all data, rejecting distorted packets. It disables transmissions
that get "stuck" creating a situation known as "jabber."

Work groups and departments of varying sizes make good use of TPair-206
when up to four of these high performance hubs are connected to one
another along a thin Ethernet backbone or cascaded using simple UTP
cross-over cables. Since you can cascade from any TPair-206 port, you can
get as few as 21 users on line in a simple one-to-one cascade, or as many
as 480 users when you cascade all possible ports.

TPair-206 provides uncomplicated connection to an existing 10Base/2 thin
Ethernet coaxial network by way of the BNC (Bayonet Locking Connector)
port. When the BNC port is used to connect to thin Ethernet, all 6
TPair-206 10Base/T RJ-45 ports are free to be connected to PCs or other
work stations.

TPair-206 is priced $375, is made in the U.S.A. and is backed by a 2-year
warranty.

It is a product of Intellicom, a company providing high quality, low-cost,
standards compliant internetworking products including an SNMP Network
Management System, local Ethernet bridges, 10Base/T concentrators, laptop
and PC network adapters, and 10Base/T-to-AUI transceivers.

Intellicom also manufactures parallel interface extenders, and products
supporting print functions, including network printer servers, peripheral
sharing units, and in-line buffers.
