Overview
The UN-101 USB Network Cable represents an innovative
breakthrough in peer group networking. Peer-to-peer networking is
often the best choice in small office situations, or among small
workgroups, where computers share their resources and peripherals
without the use of a dedicated server.
Prior to the UN-101, this type of networking was either carried out on
a very limited basis through slow parallel port connections, or
required setting up an expensive network, including the complicated
installation and configuration of network expansion cards.
Now, with the UN-101 USB Network Cable, building a home or small
office network is as easy as plugging cables into the computers' USB
ports. Opening the case to install network cards and troubleshooting
IRQ conflicts have all been replaced by simple plug and play
connections. Slow parallel port transfers among a small number of
computers have been replaced by more than 5 Mbps USB data
transfers among up to 17 computers. Since the UN-101 uses the
familiar Windows interfaces, such as Windows Explorer, there is no
new interface or software to learn, making operation smooth and
easy.
The UN-101 offers three types of USB based networking. In addition
to basic peer-to-peer workgroup networking, the UN-101 provides the
workgroup with shared dialup Internet access, and also has a feature
that allows the workgroup to link to an Ethernet based client/server
LAN - making all the resources of the Ethernet LAN available to the
group - including the company Intranet, as well as providing a direct
connection to the Internet.
Thanks to plug and play and the USB bus, there is no easier, faster,
more efficient way for a small to medium sized workgroup to share all
their resources (data, programs, printers, scanners, etc.), than with a
UN-101 USB Network Cable based network.

Basic Peer To Peer
To set up a computer as a station on a basic Peer-to-Peer network
do the following:
1.
Power up the computer and insert the distribution diskette in the
floppy disk drive.
2.
Run the Setup program found on the distribution diskette, and
follow the step-by-step procedure that the InstallShield Wizard
takes you through. (Click on Next when you are ready to move on
to the next step.)
Note:
You may need to have your Windows 98 SE installation CD
handy in case Windows prompts you for it.
a)
For Choose Destination Location, you can leave the default
folder choice, or specify a directory of your choice.
b)
When asked for the Computer Name, key in a unique name each computer in the workgroup (peer network) must have a
name that is different from all the others.
c)
When asked for the Workgroup name, key in the name that the
peer network uses. Make sure that all the computers in the
peer network have the same Workgroup name.
d)
When asked if you want to install the Network Bridge, Click on
No. That is only used to connect to an Ethernet LAN.
e)
When asked, Click on Finish to complete the driver installation
process. Several networking related files are installed on your
hard disk.
f)
When the driver installation process has completed, Windows
directs you to reboot the computer.

USB Network Cable into the computer's USB port, and restart
Windows.
