3COM WORKGROUP SYSTEM
3Com Workgroups
A 3Com workgroup consists of seven
major components. There are network
servers, the user workstations, the interface
cards, the cables, the network software
for both servers and workstations,
the application software, and peripherals
(one of the shared resources that
make networking so cost-effective).
• A server is a computer with a hard disk
that is dedicated to serve a network
function. The Tandy 4000 and 3000 with
hard disk drives can function as servers.
Tape backup is highly recommended for
data and file security.
• The workstations can be a Tandy
4000, 3000 or a 1000 TX/SX. Refer to
your workgroup compatibility guide for
other brands and models.
• The interface card is a 3Com product.
The card is the link between the workgroup
PCs and the interconnecting
Ethernet cable.
• The network cable can be thin or thick
Ethernet cable.
• There are two kinds of software: network
software and applications software.
3Com's network software falls into
two categories: server and user. The
base product—and a requirement for 3+Menus How To Guide.
