On the occasion of ThinkPad's 25th birthday, we recall some of IBM's best known creations: from the Selectric typewriter to the IBM PC to the iconic laptop brand acquired by Lenovo in 2005.
This IBM Intellistation computer, a workstation-class PC first released in 1997, is running IBM Network Station Manager under Windows 2000 Server.
Network Station Manager is the software needed to boot and manage a group of IBM Network Stations.
The Network Station is connected to this server via TCP/IP over a Token ring LAN, a networking protocol now not commonly used.
Unlike Ethernet technology, Token ring passed a "token" between stations. Only a station in possession of a token could transmit on the LAN, thus avoiding collisions and therefore giving a more deterministic performance.
The advent of Ethernet switching largely removed the disadvantages of Ethernet's protocol and thus today it's the primary LAN of choice.
