Features
● Convenient Installation.
● Using the PC EXPANION terminal replaces a traditional desktop PC at 1/5 the cost.
● You can connect the PC EXPANION terminal to a host PC in a local or remote area via network (TCP/IP) in order to access all resources of
that host PC.
● You can connect one or more PC EXPANION terminals to a single host PC.
● No maintenance required for PC EXPANION, only host PC.
▶ Depending on the performance of the host PC, an application's compatibility and operating speed can vary. Refer to our web site for

How do I connect the PC EXPANION directly to the Host PC?
Q
Use a crossover adapter to connect the PC EXPANION
terminal to the host PC. If you use a crossover cable to
connect to the host PC, you do not need a crossover
adapter. You can only directly connect one PC EXPANION to
a Host PC by using a LAN adapter. To connect several
PC EXPANIONs you need to install as many LAN adapters
equal to the number of OffceStations
TM
terminal(s) that will
be connected to the host PC.
A
A Router allocates the IP address dynamically to the host PCs and
PC EXPANION terminal(s). Users do not need to set the IP address.
Set the network configuration to dynamic IP address in the set up

If a router/hub is connected to the host PC, how do I connect an PC EXPANION terminal to the host PC with a static IP address?

You have to allocate the static IP address of the host PC and the PC EXPANION to PC EXPANION terminal(s) through a router/hub.
(Contact your network manager to get the static IP address of the Host PC.)

FAQ
I am not connected and a screen displays the "DHCP server was not found" message.
Q
●
PC EXPANION is set to get the IP address dynamically. If you enter the setup screen of the PC EXPANION by pressing Option or Setup, you
can check in the Network tab and make sure that the "Get Dynamic IP Address" option is selected. To use this option the router has to
have DHCP server functionality activated. If you do not have a router, you have to install a server PC that can allocate the DHCP addresses
on your network. When you connect the PC EXPANION directly to a host PC, you can not use this option. In this case, select "Use Static IP
address" and input IP address. Using IP router, check whether the DHCP function is activated, power is on, and LAN cable is connected.
●
Turn off the PC EXPANION terminal and wait several seconds, and then turn it back on.
●
If you use a Firewall program and certain outer protocols are blocked, you might not be able to connect to the PC EXPANION terminal.
A
When I am connected to the host PC by pressing the Connect button, the "Host unreachable..." message appears and I can't connect.
Q
●
If there are no PCs on a network, this message appears. Check whether the Host PC is turned on. If it is turned on, check whether the
IP address of Host PC and the Terminal server IP address of PC EXPANION are the same. You can check the IP address of the Host PC by
running the ipconfig.exe command in the command line of the DOS prompt. (For more information, refer to page 2-13.) Also, check
the LAN cable connection. If you are using a hub or a router, check whether the hub or router is turned on and check the LAN cable
connection. If the PC EXPANION is directly connected to a host PC and there is no problem with the network connection, refer to the
following steps:
1. Click Start and click Control Panel.
2. Double click the "Network Connections" icon.
3. Right click the "Local Area Connection" icon and click Properties.
4. Select the Advanced tab.

Can I use 10 Mbps LAN adapter on an old dummy hub?
Q
Our product is designed for 100 Mbps switches or routers. If you use a 10 Mbps LAN adapter or an old dummy hub, the transfer
speed of the data is lowered and the performance of the system is reduced. The use of a 10 Mbps adapter or an old dummy hub is
not recommended.
A
My mouse works but all of the other devices do not function properly. The NCT-2000-XP Console shows the station is
operating well.
Q
This phenomenon occurs when the LAN cable is unplugged by accident or the router or switch is shut down. In this status, the
controller of PC EXPANION operates the mouse, so you feel as if the station is running. By the unstable power supplied to device is
not stable or other reasons, this phenomenon occurs also.
Please check:
● Connection of the LAN cable
● Operating status of the network device such as a router or switch
● Stability of the power (You can prevent by using UPS.)

FAQ
What games can I work?
Q
You can run only 2D games and Internet casual games such as a java and flash type.
Refer to the list below for what is not supported through PC EXPANION:
● 3D games that require GPU or hardware accelerator.
● Single user game that requires the program CD.
● Runs at only one registered PC and checks the IP address of the system.
A
I can't play the video in full screen mode with the PC EXPANION.
Q
Our product shares the resources of the Host PC, so the memory and system resources is limited and the performance speed is dependant on
the system's specification. Playing the video in full screen mode takes a lot of system resources. We recommend playing the video in an
appropriate screen size that does not reduce the system speed.
PC EXPANION is designed to run applications at the office such as a surfing the Internet, word processing, or working with spreadsheets.
A
Will this work in Windows 98?
Q
PC EXPANION supports Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, and Windows XP Professional.
For supporting other OS, needs special technical support and cost.

FAQ
I want to upgrade the speed of the PC EXPANION.
Q
Refer to the below items for an increase in the speed:
● Use a CPU which utilizes Hyper-Threading technologies and large L2 Cache memory size.
● Install more RAM.
● Purchase a new hard disk drive with faster access speeds (fast rpm).
● Add more LAN adapters when multiple PC EXPANION are connected through the switch.
● Reduce the number of PC EXPANION connection to host PC by adding more host PC to connect.
A
I can't connect the PC EXPANION to the Host PC anymore.
Q
After you install patch files from Windows update, this can occur. Please uninstall the patch files or download and install the
updated PC EXPANION software from our FTP site. It might take some time for us to upload the updated software.
