  I-O 5794ip Twinax Controller
Connects Twinax display stations and printers to an AS/400-iSeries via an Ethernet LAN

The I-O 5794ip Twinax Controller connects IBM and IBM compatible Twinax display stations and printers to an AS400-iSeries host via TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN. The I-O 5794ip is ideal for those who are migrating their AS/400-iSeries to an Ethernet environment.


 
  • Reliable Twinax displays and IPDS/SCS printers can operate in an Ethernet environment
  • Eliminates the need for expensive IBM Twinax Work Station Controllers
  • In locations requiring remote access, the I-O 5794ip replaces expensive remote controllers
  • No need for high-priced leased lines or expensive DSU/CSU modems
  • No re-cabling – continue to utilize existing Twinax or twisted pair cabling
  • Supports up to 56 logical sessions (4 sessions per device)
  • Supports up to 4 AS/400-iSeries hosts
  • Supports TN5250e, SNA and AnyNet
  • Easy to install

  •
