Part 1 Product Features

What is the PC Expanion ?

The PC Expanion is a unique networking device using WoIP(Windows over IP) or LoIP(Linux over IP) networking standards. Users can share the resources of the host PC system by connecting a PC Expanion terminal(s) to it, providing the benefit of having several networked PCs. Users can connect one or more PC Expanion terminals to one host PC directly using a LAN adapter and cable or via the network using a switch/router.

Features

Cost Effective

Save up to 80% of hardware cost versus buying a Pentum4 or equivalent PC; the PC Expanion gives any office or home the ability to expand any existing host PC easily and affordably.

Compatibility

The PC Expanion will run Windows or Linux based applications on a host PC; applications include Internet browsing, email, office suites, most games and much more.

No Maintenance Required

Maintenance and upgrades only apply to the host PC. The PC Expanion requires no hardware maintenance, only occasional software updates.

Small sleek design

Space saving design allows more room for your office or desk area.

1-1

Secure and Fast

Our proprietary Terminal Protocol allows for a fast and secure environment using image caching and 128 bit encryption

*No noise output and low power consumption, quiet operations while saving energy costs.

Note	Depending on the performance of the host PC, an application’s
	compatibility and operating speed can vary. Refer to NComputing’s
	web site for more information.

System Minimum Requirement

The minimum hardware requirements

To connect one PC EXPANION terminal to a single host PC, the following system requirements apply :

Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz processor with at least 512 MB RAM or higher.

To connect two to three PC EXPANION terminal(s) to a single host PC, the following system requirements apply :

Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz processor with Hyper - Threading technology with at least 512 MB RAM or higher.

To connect four to seven PC EXPANION terminal(s) to a single host PC, the following system requirements apply :

Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processor with Hyper - Threading technology with at least 1024 MB RAM or higher.

To connect eight to ten PC EXPANION terminal(s) to a single host PC, the following system requirements apply :

Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz processor with Hyper - Threading technology with at least 2048 MB RAM or higher.

To connect 10-15 PC EXPANION terminal to a single host PC, the following system requirements apply :

Intel Pentium 4 or Xeon 3.0 GHz processor with at least 3 GB RAM or higher.

To connect 16-20 PC EXPANION terminal(s) to a single host PC, the following system requirements apply :

Intel Pentium 4 or Xeon 3.2 GHz processor with Hyper - Threading technology with at least 4 GB RAM or higher.

To connect 20-25 five PC EXPANION terminal(s) to a single host PC, the following system requirements apply :

Intel Pentium 4 or Xeon 3.4 GHz processor with Hyper - Threading technology with at least 5 GB RAM or higher.

To connect 26-30 PC EXPANION terminal(s) to a single host PC, the following system requirements apply :

Intel Pentium 4 or Xeon 3.6 GHz processor with Hyper - Threading technology with at least 6 GB RAM or higher.

Note	Do not use a notebook PC as a host PC. Using notebook PCs causes
	power management and memory problems. Notebooks use
	power-saving features and different technologies than a typical
	desktop PC.
	We recommend a 60GB and 7200rpm or higher hard disk drive.
