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 Internal Twinax Controllers

A significant saving is realized by installing an I-O Xip Twinax Controller instead of an expensive IBM Twinax Work Station Controller

No Remote Twinax Controllers 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 can be configured – Up to 56 logical sessions supported
