- Artisoft Lantastic Central Station
-
- Preliminary Specifications
-
- You've seen the portable Ethernet products. What a great idea!
-
- But would you really use one when you travel? No.
-
- Would you have the desk space required for it and the cables that poke
- out of the back of your PC or laptop? No.
-
- Would you really want to mess with the network cables every time you
- connect or disconnect? NO!
-
- Then, all aboard for Artisoft's Central Station!
-
- Central Station makes it easy to connect laptops and notebooks to the LAN. As
- easy as plugging your laptop, notebook, printer, or any other peripheral to
- Central Station's parallel or serial ports. And when you want to disconnect
- your laptop, all you have to do is unplug it from Central Station. There's no
- network reconfiguring involved and other people on the network will still be
- able to use your peripherals because the disconnection won't disrupt the
- network.
-
- It's powerfully flexible, too. For one thing, it connects to Artisoft or
- Novell networks. For another, it supports both thin and twisted-pair Ethernet
- cable. But what's most impressive is that it offers you two serial ports, one
- parallel port and one PC interface port for your connections. So, unlike the
- portable Ethernet products, Central Station lets you use your laptop and
- print from your PC or the network... at the same time!
-
- Watch for more exciting innovations in the near future. Or, call your
- Artisoft Sales representative for the latest information.
