LAN Designer Network Design Software
To be released at PC Expo 1994

New York, NY: June 28, 1994...AllMicro, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida will
release LAN Designer the first computer aided network design tool that
makes the task of designing, installing or upgrading a network easy, fast
and inexpensive.

This innovative design tool eliminates unnecessary effort and wasted time
for anyone who has to set up a network. LAN Designer combines years of
experience from top network design engineers and puts it all together into
an easy-to-use format. With LAN Designer' s expert system database, a user
is assured of avoiding the pitfalls common to conventional design
techniques.

"Most in-house LAN builders lack the experience to 'cover all the bases'
and consider all the possible problems and requirements when designing a
network, LAN Designer will provoke and remind the designer of the scope of
the LAN design and installation as it guides him through the process."
says Mike Kaplan, President of AllMicro.

LAN Designer was created to conquer the problems inherent in LAN design as
well as to allow the user to run through many different physical network
configurations and determine what are the best options. It virtually
eliminates configuration and compatibility problems and determines exact
hardware requirements.

LAN Designer will expose protocol violations, issue warnings where designs
lead to spec violations, installation problems or outstrip site power and
cooling. It also provides reports for bill of materials, installation time
estimates, tool requirements, spare parts inventory, site energy and HAVAC
infrastructure, software recommendations, and mission-critical support.

Existing LANs can easily be upgraded with LAN Designer as it provides an
effective procedure for designing enhancements. By combining existing data
about a LAN with LAN Designer's database, a Windows user can print to a
file, then use Lotus, Excel or other spreadsheets to compare the two
reports and thereby obtain the information to execute the upgrade.

LAN Designer supports multiple document interfaces for on screen reports
and has extensive on-line help. It provides file storage and retrieval for
configurations, preexisting LAN design templates, reports to disk and
user-configuration expert system databases.

Protocols supported include Ethernet, FDDI and Token Ring. Most wiring and
protocol variants are supported, including twisted-pair, unshielded
twisted-pair, coaxial cable, optical fiber, RF and IR.

The list price for LAN Designer is $399.
