| Network
to Print |
 |
| Everyone in the office uses
a computer to print out a document from a printer on the network.
This is something very common today, but it wasn't so at the time
when the personal computer was used as a stand-alone device. Coupled
with basic network architecture silex's networking technology made
network printing possible from an independent PC. |

silex software technology
translates the communication protocol, which is different depending
on the computer translating the protocol, to suit each individual
computing system to transfer information. silex technology furthered
the possibility of networking equipment, creating a more convenient
and enjoyable network user environment.
There are numerous means of communication available today as society
becomes more information oriented. The need for equipment to be
on the network is not only for offices alone but it is expanding
rapidly into home environment. What is important today is to have
the knowledge and ability to connect information with equipment
and users, and to provide the network infrastructure that is convenient
to install with user-friendly software. |

| The
know-how |
|
| Computers use communication
protocols (structure) for data transmission and reception. Computer
manufacturers and users often use a different network operating
system (NOS) specific to their requirements. For example, to use
a printer on the network, it is necessary to analyze only the print
data sent using different communication protocols, and to extract
the data targeted to the printer to pass to the printer. This sophisticated
interface between a device and the network is the core technology
of the multi-protocol print server, and it is the culmination of
silex's networking technology. |
