NOVELL 4.0

Please Note: The configuration shown is both basic and typical.  However, individual elements may vary based upon client needs for Maxwell applications and other software systems residing on the same network.

Novell Configuration
Œ Novell Server
  • Contains all Maxwell data
  • May store Maxwell application programs; however, program execution occurs on the connected workstations
  • Contains all Novell networking software and functions
  • Connected to network hub(s) via a Network Interface Card and TCP/IP protocol
  • IPX/SPX protocol must either be turned off or isolated from the portion of the network where Maxwell resides
  • Typically Pentium 300MHz processor (or better) with 128MB (or more) Random Access Memory (RAM)

Office Workstations

  • Contain Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) components to allow access to Maxwell data by third party software products (Crystal Reports, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, etc.)
  • May contain Maxwell application programs or execute those stored on the Novell server
  • Typically Pentium 200Mhz (or better) PC's with 64MB Random Access Memory (RAM)

Ž Remote or Jobsite Workstations

  • Must contain remote communication software (PC Anywhere, Carbon Copy, Remote Control, etc.) remote components to allow communication with an office-based communications workstation (See item 5) via dial-up phone lines
  • Need not contain any Maxwell components
  • Typically configured with 56K modem
  • Typically Pentium 200Mhz (or better) PC's with 64MB Random Access Memory (RAM)
  • Can be desktop PC or laptop units

Modem

  • Typically 56K and can be rack-mounted style or installed in Communications Workstation
  • Must be connected to office-based communications workstation

Communications Workstation

  • Can be used as an office workstation only when remote workstation is not "dialed-in"
  • Can contain Maxwell application programs or use those stored on the main workstation
  • Typically Pentium 200Mhz (or better) PC's with 64MB Random Access Memory (RAM)
  • Must contain remote communication software (PC Anywhere, Carbon Copy, Remote Control, etc.) host components to allow communication with a dial-up remote workstation (See item 3) via dial-up phone lines
  • Operated remotely by the user on the remote workstation
  • Can only be used in conjunction with one (1) remote workstation at a time

Network Hub

  • May be 10Mbit, 100Mbit, or switchable 10/100 depending on network configuration
  • May be "intelligent" router/concentrator variety or simple hub type
  • Connects all workstations on the network to the Novell server

Windows NT Server

  • Recommended for systems running more than 4 concurrent workstations
  • Requires the use of the TCP/IP protocol for the entire network
  • Improves performance dramatically while maintaining all Novell functionality
