Concern over Twinax Peripherals On New System i i5s

Many new IBM System i Power6 and Power7 systems do not support local Twinax workstation controllers. In addition, IBM plans to eliminate support for SNA Protocol with upcoming releases of i5/OS version 6.

To a lot of users this is a major concern because of their large investment in Twinax terminals and printers currently installed at their local and remote locations.

We have the perfect solution for users that want to keep this sizable investment in equipment.

The Xip Controller.  The Twinax Controller that  runs Pure TCP/IP - no SNA, ANYNET or DLSw protocols.

If the answer is "yes" to any of the following questions, the Xip Controller can eliminate your concerns.  You can keep your existing Twinax infrastructure, in spite of IBM’s plans. 

bulletAre you getting a new System i Power6 or Power7 with no internal Twinax Workstation Controllers?
bulletAre you switching to a TCP/IP only environment but have an investment in Twinax Printers?
bulletAre you relocating your i5, iSeries or AS400 to a different location and want to avoid the cost of re-cabling?
bulletAre you moving your system to a new location in your current building?
bulletDo you need to eliminate SNA communications to your remote locations that currently have IBM, Perle or other compatible Twinax Remote Controllers?
bulletAre you eliminating remote AS/400s but still need to support Twinax CRTs and printers at the remote locations?

You can get more information by visiting the Xip Controller page or by filling in the Information Request Form at the bottom of this page.

The diagrams below illustrates the Xip Controller in a local configuration as well as a remote configuration.  For more detailed information click on the images of the Xip Controller in the diagram and you will be taken to the Xip Controller page.

Local Connection  - to provide connectivity of your local Twinax CRTs and Printers to an System i Power6, Power7, iSeries or AS/400 that does not have Twinax Workstation Controllers.  You can also use the Xip Controller connected in this manner to provide full support of your Twinax Devices in a High Availability scenario.

Remote Connection  - to provide TCP/IP connectivity for the Twinax CRTs and Printers at your remote locations that are currently connected to IBM 5494/5394, Perle 594/494 or other compatible Twinax Remote Controllers.  Also for supporting locations where you currently have an iSeries that will be eliminated when you upgrade to a more powerful i5 at your host location.
