Product description
The USB Stick CopyStation
21
Ultra allows for easy duplication of data images to up to
twenty-one USB memory sticks simultaneously. The fully pre-installed hardware and
software and the user-friendly Windows software makes it very easy to use, even by
untrained personnel.
The USB Stick CopyStation
21
Ultra consists of a PC with three built-in active USB 2.0
hi-speed hubs for a total of 21 USB slots, either English (Item no. B
31AL186
E) or
German (B
31AL186
) Windows XP Professional operating system and keyboard, pre-
installed altec copying software, mouse and DVD drive. You only need to connect up a
monitor.
USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 memory sticks can be used in the USB Stick CopyStation
21
Ultra.
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 8.2).
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 –
31AL1862
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.
