Introduction

Like all PC-Station access terminals, the 5000-A PC-Station dramatically cut computing costs by sharing the untapped power of standard PCs. Best of all, IT staff and end users do not need special training because our solutions are easy to manage, eco-friendly and compatible with standard PC applications. And like all of PC-Station series, the 5000-A PC-Station can use standard Ethernet infrastructure, so that your users can be located as far away from your shared PCs as you need them to be.

The 5000-A PC-Station bring enhanced graphics performance (with improved color depth and widescreen support) in a stylish new smaller chassis (just 1 inch tall and 4.5 inches square) that takes absolutely no desktop space at all when mounted to the back of a monitor. We even include the mounting bracket at no charge.

Of course, the 5000-A PC-Station include VGA support (resolutions up to 1024x768 or 1280x1024 for widescreen), an Ethernet connection, PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, audio output, and power cable connections. The 5000-A PC-Station does not have the USB port or microphone input and is recommended for the ultimate in economy and security.

Configuration

With the 5000-A PC-Station solution, each user has an individual workstation that consists of a standard monitor, keyboard, mouse . However, instead of connecting directly to a PC, these peripherals connect to the PC-Station Series access terminal.

The very inexpensive and highly reliable PC-Station Series access terminal connects to our terminal services software on the host PC over standard Ethernet cables (plus routers, switches, etc.). Our terminal services software enables the host PC to create unique and simultaneous user sessions so that each user gets their own rich and robust PC experience. A PC that is running a desktop OS (such as Microsoft Windows XP?) can support up to ten users. Server operating systems (like Microsoft Windows 2003 Server? or Linux) support up to 32 simultaneous users.

• Share one host PC with up to 32 users
• Dramatically reduces acquisition & support costs
• Easy to set up, maintain and secure
• Connects to host PC via Ethernet
