1. Introduction
1.1
Product description
The USB Stick CopyStation
21
allows for easy duplication of data images to up to
twenty-one USB memory sticks simultaneously.
The USB Stick CopyStation
21
consists of a case with built-in power supply and three
internal 7-port USB hubs. They are connected to the supplied USB 2.0 PCI card using
three coloured USB cables. The CopyStation is supplied with altec-developed copying
software for Windows which has a bilingual user interface (English and German).
System requirements
for using the USB Stick CopyStation
21
include a PC with Micro-
soft Windows XP and a free PCI slot.
Moreover, 21 drive letters need to be available on the PC in order to be able to assign
one drive letter to each USB Stick slot.
USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 memory sticks can be used in the USB Stick CopyStation
21
.The USB
sticks must be less than 11 mm in width and less than 42 mm in heights, if all 21 USB
slots are to be used. There are no restrictions concerning the lengths of the USB sticks
used.
The USB memory sticks need to be supported by Windows XP. We strongly recommend
that you only use USB memory sticks from international brand manufacturers such as
SanDisk, Lexar or Transcend (see chapter 8.4).
The following
software options
are currently available:
1.) Optional software interface for data exchange with external applications. This
allows you to modify the data which is being copied, e.g. by assigning individual
serial numbers or applying data encryption.
Software interface for e.g. external serialization –

2.) Software option for creating and copying smaller image files. This allows pro-
gramming to take place much faster if the master (source) USB stick is only partly
filled with data.
Software Short Image Files –

3.) File Copy option to copy files from a specified directory to FAT format USB sticks
instead of copying from an image file; the sub-directory structure (if present) is
also copied.

In addition, the CopyStation software can be modified to meet custom requirements.
