Applications

The Dataspan 2411 is a network interface card built for Telxon's Dataspan local area network platform, which was used in retail, warehousing, and point-of-sale environments during the early-to-mid 1990s. Telxon was a major supplier of wireless and wired data collection systems — handheld terminals, portable computers, and the network infrastructure to support them — before being acquired by Symbol Technologies in 2000. The Dataspan network architecture used coaxial (BNC) cabling typical of that era's bus or star topologies. Cards like this one provided the host PC or controller with a connection point into the Dataspan network, enabling communication with Telxon terminals and peripherals on the floor. Today these cards are sought primarily for maintaining or servicing legacy Telxon Dataspan installations still in operation, as well as by collectors of early 1990s ISA-era networking hardware. The 8-bit ISA form factor places this card squarely in the early-to-mid 1990s generation of PC expansion hardware, before 16-bit ISA and PCI became standard in network adapters.
