- {CENTRAL STATION
-
-
- The Central Station connectivity platform is a LAN port for quickly docking
- portables and peripherals. It adds expansion flexibility without taking up
- a valuable slot in your computer or disrupting network traffic.
-
- 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 that notebook computer running on the Central
- Station processor? Connect a printer to the Central Station parallel port
- or a serial port and you're ready for hard copy. When the job is done, the
- printer disconnects without a fuss.
-
- Bring in a temporary workstation to handle an overload. You don't have
- the time or inclination to reconfigure your network? 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 and switch between
- them from the computer's command line.
-
- The Central Station connectivity processor connects to a PC's parallel port,
- and directly to a LANtastic or NetWare network. It can output data through
- any combination of its one parallel port, two serial ports and one auxiliary
- port. It carries 128K RAM with a capacity for 520K to direct traffic through
- its multiport configuration.
-
- On its front panel, Central Station LEDs monitor and display connections
- with the PC, parallel and serial ports, the network and power supply.
-
- The secret to the Central Station platform's capabilities is its onboard
- memory that stores, redeploys and adds capabilities. Current and future
- applications designed specifically for the Central Station platform are sold
- separately as StationWare.
-
- 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 that will endow it
- with new and ever-increasing capabilities.
