MultiStation PC

. The
MultiStation PC is the result of Rose Electronics commitment to
providing state-of-the-art solutions for today’s demanding workplace.
The MultiStation PC has proven to be a valuable investment for any
business, home, or office that has a need to share a common computer
between two or more users.
The MultiStation PC system consists of a PCI card and the remote user
module. The PCI card installs in an unused PCI slot in the computer
being shared. The remote user module connects to a keyboard,
monitor, and mouse. The PCI card and remote user module are
connected together with industry standard CAT-5 shielded, solid core
twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ45 connectors.
Using the MultiStation PC to expand the use of a common computer
has several advantages that make it convenient for the users. With the
MultiStation PC you get all the benefits of a second computer without
the expense of purchasing another computer. Each user can work
independently on the same or different application. One user can be
updating the company’s financials and another user developing a
software application with no interference. Each user can have their own
Windows desktop, and share peripheral devices like printers, plotters,
and scanners.
Users can share a common modem and both connect and surf the web
or send and receive E-mail over a single phone or DSL line with a
single Internet connection. In a network environment, both users can
share the PC’s network adapter and connection.
