PC dial-up server for IBM AS/400 or System/3X

Features and Benefits:

- - Ideal for laptops and notebooks-no emulation card required
- - Field-upgradeable from 1 to 3, 5, or 7 ports to match system usage
- - IBM PC Support and Client Access/400 compatibility
- - Disk-based for easy software upgrades
- - Supports applications using 132-columns with PerleTALK for Windows or DOS
- - Fast host access with automated modem initialization and sign-on

The Perle Model 3i is a flexible, cost-effective ASCII workstation controller that connects ASCII devices, such as dial-in PCs printers and terminals to the IBM AS/400 (iSeries).

On the host side, the Perle Model 3i attaches to a Twinax port. On the network side, by attaching modems to the RS-232 ports on the Model 3i, users with a wide variety of PCs, terminals and printers can dial-in and connect to the host. Dial-in users just need an inexpensive asynchronous modem and 5250 terminal emulation software, such as PerleTALK. No emulation cards are needed, resulting in both cost and space savings in the PC.

The Perle Model 3i is available with one, three, five or seven ports, depending on the number of concurrent users required. Ports not required for dial-up access can be used for direct-attach devices such as LaserJet printers or ASCII terminals.

Terminal Emulation Software

The Perle Model 3i supports many popular 5250 terminal emulation packages including PerleTALK.

Printer Support

ASCII impact or laser printers, such as the HP LaserJet are supported as auxiliary printers on remote PCs, or can be directly-connected to the Perle Model 3i without the need for Twinax emulation boards.

Easy to use and Manage

The Model 3i has many benefits for both the dial-in user and the system administrator. For dial-in users the Model 3i speeds connection to applications using an automated sign-on feature. Users also save time when the Model 3i's dynamic port configuration is combined with the phone company's hunt-group
feature allowing the dial-in user to be connected to the first free port with no redialing required.
