IT Network Fileservers

Pages load as fast from a fileserver as from a local hard drive, which can simplify support.
Doorway works with any networking software compatible with Windows.

IT Networking

Using a smartEinterface, the system can be accessed by Doorway remotely across an Ethernet IT lan. Alternatively the Doorway IT Gateway enhances the return on capital investment in BMS and IT Network E-mail and Group working services. IT Gateways run on PC's with BMS hardware connections. This can allow access from Doorway on PC's anywhere on the IT Network. There can be several simultaneous users per BMS connection, each user receiving their own data from the BMS in the normal way. Data throughput limitations in the BMS hardware means a sensible limit is six simultaneous users. The required industry standard NetBIOS software service is available for most protocols including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, and NETBEUI.

Screen resolutions

VGA used to be the general screen resolution. With a suitable monitor Doorway can take advantage of higher screen resolutions such as 800 by 600, 1024 by 768, 1280 by 1024, 1600 by 1200 etc with the associated Windows driver. Doorway's global Edit-Change Scaling feature makes font control easy when changing monitor size.

Colours

Doorway can show the full Windows 16 million colours (24 bit TrueColor) with suitable graphics hardware, which can give superb results, and is particularly effective with photographs.
