       {Intelligent Internal 10BASE-T Concentrator

       Boost the affordability and ease-of-management of your 10BASE-T
       network to new lengths with Artisoft's intelligent, internal
       Peer-Hub concentrator. This 8-bit standard 10BASE-T hub connects
       your network with the less expensive unshielded twisted-pair
       cable often found prewired in newer office buildings. 

       The Peer-Hub concentrator works with any standard 10BASE-T
       network.  In conjunction with  Artisoft's LANtastic NOS, you and
       five others can use the Peer-Hub concentrator simultaneously. The
       Peer-Hub concentrator complies with the IEEE 10BASE-T standards
       of four concentrators and five segments per network. It will,
       with the addition of an Artisoft AE-3 adapter board, connect a
       coax segment to a 10BASE-T network, without the need for
       expensive additional bridging equipment. 

       The Peer-Hub concentrator is more than just affordable, it takes
       the headaches out of network management. Its software allows the
       host PC to view the status of all ports and to activate or
       disable each port individually. Alarms and audit trails come
       standard with the Peer-Hub concentrator's software,  so if the
       status of a port changes, the software sounds an alarm. Or status
       changes can be audited to disk for later review. And with remote
       access software, such as The Network Eye from Artisoft, Peer-Hub
       concentrators can even be controlled from non-host PCs.

       Plus, with its onboard memory, the Peer-Hub concentrator saves
       your network configuration.  So if you have a power outage, your
       host PC can reconfigure the network because the Peer-Hub
       concentrator's EEPROM  will remember each port's name, physical
       and wiring location, and whether that port is active or not.

       The Peer-Hub concentrator creates a complete 10BASE-T hub within
       an IBM PC or compatible  computer. It works  with any standard
       10BASE-T network, including Artisoft's LANtastic and Novell's  
       NetWare networks.
