The MultiStation PC™ Advantage . .
The MultiStation PC represents the latest in multiuser PC technology at affordable prices. The
MultiStation PC allows up to four users to connect
to a single, centralized windows computer. Each
user is completely independent with their own
desktop, colors, and operating environment.
The MultiStation PC is ideal for home environments
when one computer needs to be shared between
family members. Schools and small offices can
reduce expenses by installing the MultiStation PC.
Instead of having a computer for each student, four
students can share a single computer.
Industries that need to locate a computer away from a
manufacturing floor and in a safe clean area can still
access it up to 50 feet away.
The MultiStation PC is a combination of an internal PCI
card, a user module and installation software. Up to
four PCI cards can be installed in a single computer.
With the MultiStation PC installed, you effectively
double, triple, or quadruple the usability of the
computer. The effect is that each user has their own
computer.
The MultiStation PC will save you time and expense in
system administration costs, maintenance, system
upgrades, and software expense.
In a network environment, all users have
their own, unique network identities and
share the common network adapter.
