ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE UTILITIES
Unlike other Host-to-Host devices in the market, Cypress provides an entire suite of software
utilities which enhance the end user experiences. Such utilities include:
• Specialized Install procedure. The custom install procedure pioneered by Cypress allows
immediate network operation without the need for the end user to access the Network Icon in
the Control Panel. This makes it easy for “Instant Operation” without the need for the user to
understand any networking jargon. Numerous article reviews rave over this feature.
• Make Disk Utility. In case an end user does not have the install CD-ROM in possession, the
end user can still install the necessary drivers to a floppy disk using this Make Disk Utility.
This allows the end user to continue to network to other computers without the need of the
install CD-ROM.
• Electronic On-line Users Manual. This slick HTML electronic manual includes everything
with regards to Networking operation in an easy-to-read format. Such Information includes
Getting Started information, installation, various configurations, advanced operations and a
background in Networking.
• EZ-Link Network Manager. While the user can use Windows Explorer and Network
Neighborhood to navigate for data transfer and accessing other computers, it may take up to
5 minutes for the system to recognize all computers connected to EZ-Link. With the EZ-
Link Network Manager, the user can access all computers connected to the EZ-Link private
LAN immediately. The interface is intuitive and requires no manual for operation.
