Real-time Networking option

The EZ300 option offers the easiest route for achieving network data sharing. With EZNET, each Pro-Pack workstation can exchange results with up to 32 other Pro-Pack workstations with minimal setup. EZNET allows a PC in the Supervisor's office to oversee results from shop floor PCs, or the Test Engineer's office to view results from a Test Bay PC.

A simple menu allows you to define which database points are to be retrieved from each workstation, where these results are to be placed in the local database. Data is transferred quickly and efficiently without the need for file services on the LAN. EZNET uses the industry standard NetBIOS to provide compatibility with most Local Area Networks topologies such as Ethernet, Arcnet and Token Ring. EZNET is also compatible with most network filing systems such as those from Novell, Sun and DEC, although the file services are not essential for the operation of EZNET, they offer the ability to log data from one Pro-Pack workstation and analyse it on another.
