{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 or compatible computer. It works with any standard
10BASE-T network, including Artisoft's LANtastic and Novell's
NetWare networks.
