Model 3030 Remote Controller
Overview
The Decision Data Model
3030 emulates an IBM 5494 Remote Control Unit. It provides a number of
connection options that include Twinax, ASCII, Token Ring, and Ethernet.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the 3030 controller allows you to mix
adapters to meet remote sites connectivity requirements.
The user can select from 0 to 4 Twinax, ASCII or Ethernet adapters. It also allows for 0 to 1 Token Ring adapters. Based on the above, a maximum configuration could be 224 Twinax devices, or 32 ASCII devices or 320 Ethernet devices or some mix of the three. In addition, the controller will support a maximum of 80 Token Ring devices.
LAN/WAN
Connectivity
The 3030's connectivity
is complemented by full LAN and WAN support. Support for Token Ring downstream
physical unit (DSPU) attachment enhances host access for a total of 224
Twinax or 32 ASCII users. Token Ring gateway capabilities provide access
to AS/400 host applications for up to 224 Twinax attached terminals and
up to 80 Token Ring devices. Ethernet gateway capabilities provide access
to AS/400 host applications for up to 168 Twinax attached terminals and
up to 80 Ethernet devices. For WAN connectivity, the Model 3030 provides
access to SDLC and X.25 networks across three communication ports.
Functionality
The Model 3030 is compatible
with a variety of IBM programs such as Off ice Vision/400. Users get the
benefits of 132-column display support IPDS datastream, and type-head.
Additional system flexibility is provided through support for data collection
devices. Remote file transfer capabilities using PC Support, Client Access,
and IBM Emulation allow you to access applications without additional software
costs.
Service
Diagnostics available from
the front panel, plus error logs, simplify problem determination. Multiple
LED displays keep you informed on system status during start-up and normal
operations. Error conditions are also displayed and logged for service
reference.
