Your AS/400 System Console is a Twinax Terminal installed on Port 0 / Address 0. It also requires that an operator be on site to respond to the message, or perform the particular procedure that can only be executed from the System Console. When the operator is not on site, it usually requires a phone call or a page to a standby operations person who would need to either travel to the office or diagnose the problem over the phone. It may even require a drive to the office from home.
TwiNet IPSC will allow these AS/400 "System Console Functions" to be handled from anywhere on your LAN, WAN or VPN. This also includes dial-in to a network attached Remote Access Server (RAS) such as a Perle 833, Shiva LanRover or a BOSaNOVA LanLynk. This eliminates the necessity of the AS/400 operator to be at the normal location for the System Console - the computer room.

Applications for IP System Console with TwiNet
| Control Local or Remote AS/400s or LPARs from a single "System Console" |
| Control an AS/36 and AS/400 from the same System Console - Allows upgrading from one system to a new system to be more convenient. You can also configure additional sessions from each system, up to seven (7) from each TwiNet SNA Gateway. |
| Allow a local network PC to be System Console for an AS/400 at a remote location - Improves system operation capabilities at other locations without the need for a system operator. |
| Allow System Consoles to be anywhere on your LAN/WAN/VPN |
Some Features of IPSC with TwiNet
| Flexible Twinax connection means increased productivity. The TwiNet solution uses a Twinax connection to the host IBM midrange system which means that it can support the IBM AS/400, System/36, Advanced Series/36 and Twinax Remote Controllers. Since TwiNet provides a single point of contact to the midrange host, there is less configuration and operating overhead, providing better overall host performance. |
| Simple, intuitive installation and configuration. On the PC side, a single protocol can be used for both LAN and host PCs, and since TwiNet is a native Twinax gateway, it does not require the overhead and configuration complexities of an APPC router. And the TwiNet Gold Client software installs quickly and easily, using industry-standard LAN interfaces. |

The picture on the left shows a standard TwiNet installation. The IBM Host can be any S/3X, AS/400 or Remote Control Unit with a Twinax attachment installed. TwiNet can be installed either close to the Host or close to the Clients, using the existing Twinax or UTP cabling very good for long distance connection (up to 5000 feet). |
