Introduction
Welcome to the world of
In the modern business environment sharing information is crucial. Until now only large businesses could afford the high speed connections between offices to gain the networking advantage. The OfficeConnect Remote changes this and provides high speed, low cost
The OfficeConnect Remote is ideal for linking together remote offices or workgroups. It is compact and attractively designed for desktop use and is part of the OfficeConnect™ range which neatly stack together with clips to provide a host of other facilities, for example, Ethernet hub, print sharing and network fax.
The OfficeConnect Remote is designed to connect a LAN (Local Area Network) at one location with a number of other LANs at remote locations. The LAN could comprise any number of PCs, servers or other computing equipment, which in an office or small business environment are typically linked together using a centrally located OfficeConnect hub. In order to interconnect the hubs in different locations, the OfficeConnect Remote unit transmits information over a WAN (Wide Area Network) service provided by telephone carrier organizations.
The most modern and efficient of these WAN services includes ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network). This provides a high speed dialup facility to allow your OfficeConnect Remote to automatically and quickly dial remote offices, transmit your data between remote PCs just as speedily and then disconnect the call. You incur minimum ISDN telephone charges as calls are made only when needed. This is known as Dial on Demand.
