The earlier 10Base5 and 10Base2 Ethernets are bus networks, but are often wired into a star configuration using a central hub for improved and 5-port multiprotocol print server unit for NetWare, TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. , Windows-NT, Windows '95 and Windows for Workgroups A version of Windows 3.1 introduced in 1992 that added peer-to-peer networking. See Windows. (operating system) Windows for Workgroups - (WFW, WFWG) A version of Windows 3.1 which works with a network. Although stand-alone 3. . FEATURE-RICH HUB MAKES NETWORKING A BREEZE Providing support for 10Base-2, 10Base-5, & 10Base-T, the 16- port (RJ45) PSM-HUB is loaded with features such as: LEDs indicating individual port status and network activity, a switchable port for cascading hubs, BNC (hardware) BNC - A connector for coaxial cable such as that used for some video connections and RG58 "cheapernet" connections. A BNC connector has a bayonet-type shell with two small knobs on the female connector which lock into spiral slots in the male connector when it is twisted and AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) The network interface used with the original Ethernet. See 10Base5. 1. (tool, product) AUI - Adaptable User Interface. 2.

HIGH-SPEED PRINT SERVER HAS 1000 FOOT RANGE The PSM-HUB also has one serial printer/plotter or out-of-band management port and four high-speed parallel ports, each one simultaneously supporting printing speeds of 150K cps over UTP UTP (uridine triphosphate): see uracil. (Unshielded Twisted Pair) See twisted pair. UTP - unshielded twisted pair cabling and RJ45 connectors. Printers can be located up to 1000 feet away from PSM-HUB ports. In addition, the print server automatically detects print queus on the network monitors and displays printing activity on individual port LEDs and is fully manageable using NetAdvantage View software included with unit. Now shipping at a suggested retail price of $995.00 US, the two- in-one NetAdvantage PSM-HUB is truly a cost-effective network hub/print server solution. ABOUT PROTEC MICROSYSTEMS INC.
