Overview

The Intel® InBusiness™ Internet Station is a powerful, yet simple communica- tions device. When you use the Internet Station, networked computers have simultaneous access to the Internet through a single Internet account.

The Internet Station Installation CD-ROM detects your network configurations. It then offers specific setup options, based on your configurations, which help you set up your network to use the Internet Station. Browser-based configuration software walks you through a simple setup. This helps you get your Internet Station up and working without investing a lot of time.

The Auto Disconnect feature makes sure that your ISP connection is off when it is not in use. The Internet Station’s revolutionary InstantIP™ technology automati- cally takes care of all network configurations. Two PC Card slots and one serial port make the product flexible enough to grow with your network changes. Modem Aggregation, the Internet Station’s newest feature, combines the speed of two or three analog modems for faster Internet access.

With the Internet Station’s Modem Pooling feature, use additional modems for faxing and data transmission to online services. Modem Pooling allows shared access to the modems connected to the Internet Station. You can use the modems available for pooling in the same way as you would a modem attached to your PC.
