Additional Features
|
FEATURES |
BENEFITS |
| Investment Protection |
When installing an Ethernet LAN
that is attached to an AS/400–iSeries, reliable Twinax
displays and IPDS/SCS printers can operate in the new Ethernet
environment maintaining the usefulness of the equipment |
| Eliminates the Need
for Twinax Work Station Controller |
A significant saving is realized
by installing an I-O Xip Twinax Controller instead of an
expensive IBM Twinax Work Station Controller |
| No
IBM Remote Controller
Required |
When remote access to an AS/400–iSeries
is required, an expensive IBM or IBM compatible remote controller
is replaced by an economical I–O Xip Controller |
| No Leased Lines or
Expensive Modems |
When communicating to a remote
site, there is no need to spend valuable resources on high-priced
leased lines and special modems. |
| No Re-cabling |
The I-O
Xip allows Twinax displays
and printers to be connected to existing Twinax or twisted pair
cabling eliminating the expense of re-cabling |
| Multiple Protocols |
Supports the auto configuring
TN5250e and AnyNet for remote locations or SNA for a local attachment |
| Multiple Host |
Supports up to 4 hosts |
| Multiple Sessions |
Up to 4 sessions per physical
device address can be configured – Up to 56 logical sessions supported |
