Hunter Highlights Vol. 115

Shops subscribing to Hunter Online Internet-based information services can now go wireless. A Wireless Network Kit is available from Hunter to connect Series 811 Alignment Systems to a shop's existing 802.11 a/b/g wireless network.

Hunter Online is a suite of online tools that harness the power of the Internet to help shops boost productivity and customer satisfaction.

Wireless access is the most convenient and efficient way to bring Internet-based services into the alignment bay, eliminating extra cables that can clutter a shop and inhibit console mobility.

Wireless Internet access is an ideal application of new technology to increase speed, efficiency and simplicity in the service bay.

Hunter’s newest Series 811 Plus alignment systems are now being shipped with a new, more powerful, Hunter-branded computer.

Since introducing PC-based wheel alignment to the industry in 1992, Hunter engineers have designed computer specifications to meet specific requirements of the automotive shop environment. These performance benchmarks were developed using rigorous laboratory simulation and actual service bay testing.

The new Series 811 Plus computer increases processor speed, RAM and hard drive capacity. Operating system software is Windows® XP Pro. The computer case was redesigned to save space and enhance performance and convenience. Two of the system’s six USB ports were placed in front of the case for the most convenient access. The new computer is also equipped with an internal DVD/CD-RW drive.
