MCT’s Multipoint USB over LAN WorkStation MWS9940 leverage new Microsoft Windows Server 2011 technology, providing Plug-and-Play USB and GIGA-LAN Solution that transforms single computers into Multiuser Workstation, and turn it into a distance free Zero Client device.

MWS9940 powers M ultiPoint Workstation 2011 system in full features allowing one computer to server up to 10 workstations (Figure 1) without adding 2nd system or any excess graphic card, great for cost saving!

MWS9940 simply connect it to Gigabit Ethernet Port on the server and attach a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to add a new workstation. The MWS9940 features two high-speed USB 2.0 ports, audio and microphone ports, a VGA port that supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200

The MWS9940 provides an inexpensive and reliable way to expand your Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 for school and office running “office application" “Home Entertainment” and “Full Screen Movie Playback” are not recommended.

MINIM UM SYSTEM REQU IREMENTS

• Available Gigabit Ethernet port or Gigabit Ethernet extension card.

• CPU – One of the following:

x64-based Intel Pentium, Intel quad core (i7, i5).

• Compatible processor (MultiPoint Server supports up to four core & eight core CPUs on one server)

Note:

1) AMD Opteron / Athlon, AMD Embed chipset is not recommend due to unstable

keyboard/mouse operation which may not recognize under USB1.1 device.

2) Intel Itanium Processor is not supported.

 RAM – The required RAM depends on the number of MultiPoint USB OVEN LAN

Workstation MWS9940s that are connected to the computer:

• DRAM 2GB for 4 stations

• DRAM 4GB for 6 stations

• DRAM 8GB for 10 stations

 Multi-core processor support

• Support up to 4 & 8 multi-core processors; dual-core is less powered and therefore

only 2 to 3 workstation can be supported.

 Minimum disk space for setup

KNOW FACT ORS & NOTE

SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTAL AND BEHAVIOR MATRIX

MWS means to simplify operation and provide safety environment in the class room! Teacher turn on computer first thing when the day begin, one button that turns on all station power simultaneously and continue all day with auto-mappi ng enables each individuals operation; turn off computer at end of date that shut down all station power as well. When student walk in the classroom, he/she only needs simply turn on the monitor and log in, then log out the workstation and turn off monitor after class; that leaves power idle t hus convenient next class enable fast log on. For safety reason, nobody has to touch any device’s power or USB connector to avoid strange behavior that may cause electronic power shock.

MULTIP OINT USB OVER LAN WORKSTATION M

WS9940

1. Disconnecting a Workstation while videos are playing may cause stability issues. Do

not disconnect Workstations during video playback.

2. Using different display resolutions on workstations may cause display issues if a station

is disconnected. Set all workstations to the same resolution for the best performance.

3. Video play back performance is rely on USB2.0 bandwidth and limited to maximum

bandwidth of 480 Mbit/s [60 MB/s] , therefore smaller scale display window at lower resolution is recomm end.

4. When all station needs for video playback, smallest scale window is recommended.

eg. when all 10 station playing youtube, keep every video frame at original or smallest size. for better perfor mance, upgrade to a higher level CPU and increase memory is recommended.

5. Multi-Video Playback at each workstation is not recommended, it occupied CPU's

loading and lower each task performance, it could cause operation freeze when CPU consumption is over its limited.

6. Prior to installing the MCT driver, the computer should be running the most current build

of Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 and have the appropriate graphics card driver from the list showed at "System Requirement" page.

7. Due to Ethernet bandwidth limitation, for smooth playing performance, minimize video

playback landscape is recommended when multiple videos playing across many monitors simultaneously, scale are recommended as below:

- 2 users: full screen

- 4 users: 1/3 landscape

- 6 users: 1/4 landscape

- 8~10 users: 1/8 landscape

8. MWS9940 is default for 10 stations at the moment, excess station is to be requested.

Driver instal la tion may take 2 to 3 minutes. Initial mapping may take 5 minutes for 10 stations after driver installed. Regular rebooting may take 3 to 4 minutes to get auto mapping on all stations.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

The following troubleshooting tips may help if you are experiencing any difficulties using our device.

• Check to see that the monitor is connected correctly and the power is ON.

• Make sure to restart the server after the driver installation.

• When disconnect the power adapter or Ethernet cabl e, wait for a few seconds for re-connecting it.

•

Check the website to make sure you have the latest drivers.

• Reset/refresh/r esynchr onize your monitor if t he screen is not in pr oper ( c enter) .
