          The Central Station connectivity platform  is a LAN multiport for
          easily  docking  portables  and  peripherals.  It  adds expansion
          flexibility by  allowing peripherals  to connect  to the  network
          without needing  a  full  PC  to  handle  the  connections.  With
          dedicated StationWare applications, the  Central Station platform
          becomes  a  network  server for  multiple  peripherals, including
          printers and modems.
           
          Bring a laptop from the field,  plug it into the Central  Station
          PC port  and you have access  to the network files,  programs and
          peripherals.  When   you're  through,   you  disconnect   without
          disrupting network traffic.

          Need a  printout  from  that notebook  computer  running  on  the
          Central Station processor? Use a  printer anywhere on the network
          for hard copy. Or simply connect a printer to the Central Station
          parallel port;   when  the job is  done, the  printer disconnects
          without a fuss.

          Bring in a temporary workstation to handle an overload. You don't
          need to  reconfigure your network.  Just 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. With  its
          configuration  stored   in  programmable  PEROM,  it  can  change
          personality with StationWare applications.

          The Central  Station connectivity  processor connects  to a  PC's
          parallel  port and  directly  to  a  LANtastic(R)  or  NetWare(R)
          network. By  adding StationWare  applications, it  can send  data
          through any combination  of its one parallel port  and two serial
          ports. 

          On its  front panel,  Central Station  LEDs  monitor and  display
          connections with the  PC, parallel and serial  ports, the network
          and power supply.

          The  Central Station  connectivity  processor is  single-function
          hardware, 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  more easily  join  the
          network.

          This pre-loaded  software makes the Central  Station connectivity
          processor a printer server on an Artisoft LANtastic network.

          With LANtastic  Printer Server  StationWare, the Central  Station
          processor becomes the  way station to accept printer  output from
          anywhere on the  network and direct it  to any of its  two serial
          and one parallel ports. A  LANtastic server manages print queues,
          which are  then  handed  off  to  the  Central  Station  on-board
          processor and on to the printer.

          Because the files are handled  in the Central Station  processor,
          network  servers are  freed from print  management tasks  and can
          perform their other assignments with dispatch.

          The  printer or printers can be  placed in any  convenient space,
          since the Central  Station connectivity platform replaces  the PC
          to which a printer is normally attached.

          {o}  Enables placement  of the  printer in  any convenient  space
               without connecting to a dedicated PC
          {o}  User-friendly configuration program allows  changes (kept in

               and become your default.

               redirect print jobs to the Central Station processor.

          Office walls cannot contain  your LANtastic network.  Executives,
          sales  representatives and  specialists  out  in  the  field  can
          connect into the office  LANtastic network with access  to files,
          programs and printers.

          With one part  of the software running in the  remote station and
          the other resident on the processor's PEROM, the  Central Station
          unit becomes a telephone gateway to the LANtastic network, giving
          you the ability to transfer files, exchange e-mail, use  printers
          and the rest of the network's devices.

          Although the system will operate  with a 1200-baud modem, for all
          but small transfers we recommend  9600 baud or better, using V.32
          or  V.42  standards  with  error-checking and  data  compression,
          because the modem limits the speed of the remote-to-network link.

          Using   this  advanced   application  on   the  Central   Station
          connectivity processor,  your LANtastic system  can reach  around
          the world.

          This pre-loaded  software makes the Central  Station connectivity
          processor printer server  on a Novell NetWare 2.15,  2.20 or 3.11
          system.

          With NetWare  Printer  Server StationWare,  the  Central  Station
          processor becomes the  way station to accept  printer output from
          the network server and direct it to any of its two serial and one
          parallel ports, each with its own configuration. Without tying up
          a server's PC  expansion slot   or printer port, the  system will
          manage print queues  on a first-come, first-served  basis. It can
          serve up to 32 print queues on as many as 16 file servers.

          Print spooling is handled by the server, which then sends further
          processing  to the  on-board  Central  Station  CPU,  so  network
          servers can perform their other assignments with dispatch. If you
          need  to  reboot   the    workstation, you  can  do  so   without 
          interrupting  a  large print  job.  If the  server  connection is
          broken and  restored, NetWare Print Server StationWare reconnects
          automatically.

          The printer or  printers can be  placed in  any convenient  space
          with  the Central Station  connectivity platform and  do not need
          physical proximity to the server.
