BOSTON, Feb. 11, 1992, NetWorld Booth #4703 -- Anco Corporation today
|
|
expanded its family of Ethernet LAN products with two notebook and laptop
|
|
computer parallel port adapters, 8- and 16-bit NetWare compatible network
|
|
interface cards (NICs) and an 8-port hub. All five products are designed
|
|
for applications requiring highly reliable networking products that are
|
|
also economical to implement.
|
|
|
|
Parallel Port Adapters for Notebook to Network Communication
|
|
|
|
Anco is one of few manufacturers offering parallel port adapters that allow
|
|
PC notebook and laptop computers to simultaneously access a local printer
|
|
and communicate with the network. Unlike standard competitive solutions
|
|
that feature only two ports, the E-NET 10Base-T and ENET Coax (10Base-2)
|
|
parallel port adapters provide four connectors; a DB25 male connector for
|
|
attachment to a laptop, a DB25 pass-through port for attachment to a local
|
|
printer or other parallel-port peripheral, a DB15 port for Thicknet
|
|
connection and either an RJ45 port or a BNC port for 10Base-T or 10Base-2
|
|
applications respectively.
|
|
|
|
"With the emergence of the laptop market, network demands have changed and
|
|
Anco is dedicated to providing reliable low-cost solutions" said John
|
|
Koon, director of product marketing. "Users come in from the field and
|
|
want to connect with their company's network to download data, check their
|
|
E-Mail, etc. They also want to conveniently print their output for the day
|
|
from a local printer or back up their laptop hard drive. New parallel port
|
|
peripherals are being announced every day and Anco's parallel port
|
|
adapters provide affordable and convenient access to these local devices
|
|
while simultaneously allowing communication with the network."
|
|
|
|
Anco's compact E-NET 10Base-T and E-NET Coax also feature proprietary
|
|
optimized software drivers for Novell NetWare compatibility, LEDs to
|
|
monitor collision, activity and link status for easy diagnostics and slim
|
|
packaging (7"x6.25"x1.5"). The adapters are affordably priced at more than
|
|
40 percent below that of competitive products offered by such companies as
|
|
Xircom.
|
|
|
|
The Anco E-NET 10Base-T and E-NET Coax parallel port adapters are now
|
|
available in sample quantities. Production units will be available in
|
|
March and retail at a list price of $345. Anco's parallel port adapters
|
|
comply with the IEEE 802.3 standard and carry a two-year warranty.
|
|
|
|
NE-1000 and NE-2000 Compatible NICs are Built in America
|
|
|
|
Anco's new adapter cards, the E-NET 10Base-T NE-1000 and NE-2000 compatible
|
|
NICs, also provide a low-cost solution for network communication between
|
|
8-bit (PC/XT/AT bus) and 16-bit (286/386 bus) workstations respectively.
|
|
Both products are socketed for remote boot ROM for use with diskless
|
|
workstations. Designed and manufactured in the United States, these
|
|
products feature the National Semiconductor ST-NIC chip to provide a
|
|
highly reliable yet affordable networking alternative in comparison to
|
|
competitive offerings.
|
|
|
|
The E-NET 10Base-T NE-1000 and NE-2000 compatible NICs are available and
|
|
retail at a list price of $170 and $180 respectively. The new Anco NICs
|
|
comply with the IEEE 802.3 standard and carry a two-year warranty.
|
|
|
|
8-Port Hub for Low-Cost Networking
|
|
|
|
Anco's E-NET 10Base-T 8-Port Hub at $50 per port provides a very low-cost
|
|
solution for small networks or for users who want an inexpensive way to
|
|
expand to sixteen ports with two hubs. Status LEDs show the link status of
|
|
each 10Base-T port and include indicators for collision/partition, link
|
|
integrity, polarity and traffic. The E-NET 10Base-T 8-Port Hub is
|
|
available at a retail price of $450. It complies with the IEEE 802.3
|
|
standard and carries a two-year warranty.
|
|
|
|
Anco Corporation provides complete networking solutions for
|
|
budget-sensitive applications where reliable, high quality communications
|
|
are required. Anco manufactures hardware for both Ethernet and Token-Ring
|
|
networks. The company has recently expanded its family of products offered
|
|
directly to end users under the Anco Corporation label to complement its
|
|
OEM sales efforts. Multi-station access units (MAUs), hubs, network
|
|
interface cards (NICs), connectors, transceivers, baluns, and filters as
|
|
well as cables, and other networking accessories are available from Anco.
