The Flash/Net™
system is a printer sharing network in which up to 24 computers
(as many as 64 when adapters are used), can easily share up
to 8 printers using inexpensive 4-wire straight-through RJ-11
cabling in a Bus, Star, or Tree topology. Printers are selected
either with a manual controller or by software.
With
a throughput of up to 22 Kbytes per second (making it faster
than any similar network), this advanced, power-free printer
network eliminates the need for multiple auto switches and heave,
tangled, cables. Easy installation and ease of operation make
Flash/Net™ suitable for users of all levels. Simply plug a transmitter
unit into the PC's parallel port; a receiver unit into the printer;
connect the units with 4-wire straight-through RJ-11 cabling;
and you are ready to go. Transmitters and receivers can be daisy
chained allowing up to 24 PCs (as many as 64 with adapters)
to connect with up to 8 printers.
