1.0 Introduction

The SpotLine M110 is part of a new generation of

asynchronous/LAN terminals designed for all multi-user environments, from microcomputers to minis to mainframes.

And why is this concept new?

It is new and original because the SpotLine M110 demonstrates

six key characteristics: Color, Performance, Expandability, Intelligence, Standardization and Integration.

Color: The color can be controlled completely by the host computer, with the application program setting whatever it wants. Performance: Thanks to the high communication speed (up to 115Kbaud) with the host server, the response time for your application is greatly improved.

Expandability: The expandability of the SpotLine M110 terminal is based on two factors:

-Any base unit can be upgraded from monochrome to color simply by changing the monitor you use.

-All the logic and control hardware reside in a separate small unit, which can then be upgraded for future generations more quickly than building the old style of all-in-one terminal.

Intelligence: The built-in functionality of the SpotLine M110 relieves the host computer of many communications tasks, and allows for many different configurations.

In addition, the SpotLine’s multiple ports, windowing and multisession capability allows the simultaneous connection to more than one host machine, even if they are running different operating systems.
