Chapter 1: Overview
The iNS Industrial Network port Server provides communication between peripheral
devices and computers connected to a network. When the iNS is connected to your LAN
and to one or more peripherals, it manages network traffic, routing it to the correct device.
For example, the network diagram below shows how the iNS might be used to allow one or
more PCs to share expensive peripherals or to access peripherals that are located elsewhere
on the local or remote network.
