Tested on:

Equity

It

1 - Tested on both Equity I+ and

III+

as fileserver and workstation.

2 - Only for PC and/or PC XT type machines.

10-Net offers the choice of either bus (Ethernet) or star (StarLan) topologies.

The software supports such features as printer spooling, "CHAT" (peer-to-peer
messaging), electronic mail and bulletin board and calendar.

10-Net SNA/BSC Gateway allows PCs on the LAN to emulate 3278/79 terminals.

It

also lets printers on the LAN emulate 3286/87/89 printers for cost-effective

access to

IBM

mainframes.

10-Net RS-232 Gateway sets up the asynchronous “bridge” between two 10-Net
LANs. The RS-232 PC Remote enables a PC in a remote location to become
part of a 10-Net LAN. Simply dial up with a standard PC modem and gain

access to the various LAN resources.

IO-Base is a relational database management system built around SQL

(Structured Query Language). Designed specifically for the networked
environment, it supports MS-DOS 3.1 or higher extended record locking calls.
There is also an optional interface module for BASIC, C and Assembler code to
allow further customization.

The “Boot” ROM allows an Equity I+ to load DOS and the LAN software from
the fileserver - it even allows for a diskless configuration. The Diagnostic

Module tests the wiring and transceiver IC integrity. The Repeater lets you

expand the range of a 10-Net LAN.
