/ Multifunction Ethernet Hub
The M208 Workgroup Print Server (US$895) lets you connect up to three printers to your workgroup. A high-speed IEEE 1284-compliant parallel port provides load balancing, auto-sensing and switching, ASCII-to-PostScript conversion, header and trailer strings, banner/trailer page generation, monitoring and status reporting via SNMP and SMTP E-mail, multilevel password security, and data scrambling. The hub component provides eight 10Base-T UTP ports and one AUI port that, with an optional transceiver, allows you to
connect to 10Base-5, 10Base-2, and 10Base-F Ethernet networks. The M208 provides simultaneous support for TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk, and NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Through the M208's support for SLIP and PPP, the server can also connect a remote office to a LAN.
