Affirmative Computer
Products, a major supplier of Thin Client terminals tailored for IBM Midrange and Mainframe users, announced a Twinax Controller
called the iTwinax supporting legacy 5250 display and print devices while connecting to AS/400 and iSeries over ethernet cables. Two models
of the Affirmative iTwinax Controller are available, the 2407 iTwinax and
2414 iTwinax, supporting seven and fourteen devices respectively. Each display device may have up to 4 concurrent sessions, or up to 56 logical sessions per controller. Both models
of the iTwinax are housed in a compact package weighing less than one pound. |
| The
iTwinax controller is available in two configurations, supporting either 7 or 14 Twinax display and printer devices, with up to four sessions per display device. |
The new iTwinax controllers provide support for existing Twinax infrastructure on the device side while using the TCP/IP protocol on the host side. Since TCP/IP is a routable protocol, enormous savings are available in communications equipment and ongoing communications costs, through the elimination of leased lines to remote locations. |
| The iTwinax controller bridges the gap between TCP/IP networks and legacy Twinax display and printer devices while preserving infrastructure investment and significantly lowering communication costs. |
 |
All IBM and compatible displays and printers are supported, including 5251, 5291, 5292, 3180, 3179, 3196, 3477FG and 3477FC.
iTwinax supported printers include all SCS (SNA Character Stream) and IPDS (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) models. When using TN5250e, all printers are configured as 3812 model 1, but with the available AnyNet or SNA protocols, the host recognizes the actual printer type. |
| According to Robert Kosednar, Vice President, “the iTwinax Controller is a logical extension of our Thin Client product line, since many users are transitioning to TCP/IP networks but still want to protect their investment in Twinax devices and installed cabling.” |
| The Affirmative iTwinax controller can be setup in minutes using a provided utility installed on a Windows PC or server, or Affirmative will pre-configure controllers at no cost to the customer. Configuration information is maintained by Affirmative to facilitate overnight replacement in the unlikely event of failure. |
Shown atop an iSeries 270 system, the iTwinax controller can be deployed in local or remote networks.
The iTwinax unit connects to AS/400 and iSeries systems via Ethernet running TCP/IP, SNA or Any Net protocols.
|
The compact iTwinax (8 .5 X 6 X 1.4 inches) has no moving parts and is highly integrated with a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) estimated at 20,000 hours. |
