Keys located next to the display are used for selecting operating options. The 9427 has a front door of clear plastic so that the robotics, drives and cartridge tapes can be seen while in operation. The door has a key-lock for security.

Neither the 7GB 8mm Cartridge Tape unit located in the AS/400 system unit, nor the 7208-222, can be migrated to a 9427.

The 9427 is attached to the AS/400 via the Removable Media Device Attachment (#2621), with a maximum of one 9427 per #2621. The Removable Media Device Attachment (#2621) has two SCSI ports. The 9427 can attach to the #2621 using one or two ports (two ports are required for maximum performance of the 9427). If the 9427 is attached using only one SCSI port, then the other SCSI port can be used to attach other devices. A feature is available to support attachment to two systems with random access to cartridges, tape mirroring, offline tape copy and compare, and a label printer port.

Support for the 9427 is provided by OS/400 Version 3 Release 1. Backup, Recovery and Media Services/400 (5763-BR1) is recommended to support automation in tape handling, media management, and automatic migration of data between tape and DASD based on user defined policies. For those developing unique library applications, OS/400 provides a library command interface.

The 5251 Model 12 may be used to attach remote workstations. It is a workstation controller and communications unit for remote attachment of multiple display stations and printers. PC Support access by Personal Computers and Personal System/2s attached to the 5251 Model 12 will not be supported.

Note: Remote workstation controllers attach to the AS/400 via the communications subsystem features. The 5294 or the 5394 running in 5294 emulation mode, will not give IBM Personal Computers or Personal System/2s access to IBM PC Support/400.

The 5294 Remote Control Unit can be used to attach up to eight 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only), to an AS/400 via a communications link. The function provided will be equivalent to that available on the System/36 and System/38 with the exception that PC Support access by Personal Computers and Personal System/2s attached to the 5294 will not be supported.

The 5394 Remote Control Unit attaches up to sixteen 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only) to an AS/400 via a communications link. The function provided will be similar to that provided to the local workstations via the #6140 or #6040 local twinaxial workstation controllers.

The 5494 Remote Control Unit manages the operation of workstations and workstation communications to the AS/400. The IBM 5494-EXT replaces the IBM 5494-001 and the IBM 5494-002. The 5494 now has only one model, to which features are added customizing the 5494 for operational needs.

The 5494-EXT supports the attachment of up to 28 twinaxial devices. With the 5494 Twinaxial Expansion Kit installed, up to 56 twinaxial devices can communicate to the AS/400 through a Type 2.1 connection.

By installing the 5494 Token-Ring Adapter, the 5494-EXT has all the functional capabilities of the withdrawn 5494-002. It can communicate with an AS/400 system over a Token-Ring network while supporting up to 28 twinaxial devices, or can support Token-Ring attached devices while communicating with an AS/400 over an SDLC, X.21, or X.25 connection. In this configuration, the 5494 supports up to 80 devices of which up to 28 could be twinaxial attached and the rest Token-Ring attached.

The Ethernet Adapter supports IEEE 802.2 logical link control and IEEE 802.3 or DIX Version 2.0 frame format using a 10BASE2 (BNC), a 10BASE5 (15-pin D-SUB), or a 10BASE-T (RJ-45) connector. The 5494 Ethernet AUI Cable allows the attachment to an Ethernet Network using thick coaxial (10BASE5) cabling. Ethernet support allows the 5494 to be used as a gateway to an Ethernet LAN or attach to an AS/400 System via an Ethernet Network.

The 5494 Utility Program allows the selection of Concurrent Diagnostics, configuration information, or to reset and restart the 5494 Remote Control Unit from a remote Programmable Workstation (PWS). The PWS no longer needs to be directly attached to a 5494 to provide access to remote 5494's from a central site.

The IBM 5494 Release 3.0 microcode supports all the functions of the IBM 5494 Release 2.0 microcode and the following enhancements:

· Support for AS/400 automatic configuration of Non-programmable Workstations (NWS) and printers attached to the 5494. The 5494 Remote Control Unit description can also be automatically created. (This function requires OS/400 V3R1 be installed on the AS/400)

· Eighty (80) device support is now standard for Token-Ring and Ethernet attached devices.

The 5299 Multiconnector and Twinaxial to Telephone Twisted Pair Adapter (TTPA) may be used with appropriate telephone wiring. Initial and ongoing site cabling costs may be reduced with this wiring option.

The following displays are supported by the Twinaxial Workstation Controller (#6140, #6040, and #6050):

The following ASCII displays, are supported by the ASCII Workstation Controller (#6141 and #6041):

The 3151, 316X, or equivalent attached to the ASCII Workstation Controller are supported as the AS/400 system console. See the "ASCII Workstation Reference and Example" manual SA41-9922, for specific configuration information.

The following non-IBM displays have been tested and found to work with the ASCII Workstation Controller:

The IBM 6250 X Terminal offers high-performance, local-area network (LAN)-attached X terminals that provide a low-cost, desk-top platform for connectivity to the AS/400 and UNIX based host platforms (such as the RS/6000*. The 6250 X Terminal supports multiple 5250 emulation sessions to one or more AS/400s using an X Windows interface. The X terminal can also access UNIX host applications using either the memory efficient 6250 Window manger or the industry standard Motif** Window Manager. Either window manager provides a superb graphics platform for applications in the X Window environment.

The 6250 X Terminal Family includes four models...color and monochrome Ethernet models and color and monochrome Token-Ring models. They come with a base of 4MB of memory, expandable to 20MB or 16MB, depending on the model. The displays both have a resolution of 1024X768 and the color models support 256 colors.

The 6250 X Terminal requires one AS/400 on the LAN to have the IBM 6250 X Terminal Program for OS/400 (PRPQ 5799-QGP) installed. The X terminal down-loads the X window environment from the AS/400 and then can communicate with other hosts on the LAN.

The X terminals include an integrated, swivel display, keyboard, three button mouse and license to use the 6250 program. The X terminals have an easy to use setup menu for initial configuration and standard LAN connectors for the most popular Ethernet or Token-Ring connections.

The AS/400 supports the IBM Personal Computer, Models 5150, 5160, 5162 and 5170, as described in programming announcement letters dated February 3, 1987 and January 26, 1988.

Note 1: RPQs are available to convert models 012 and 020 to models T12 and T20 which are supported by 9402.

Model Conversions

The following 9404 model conversions are available for field installation by IBM Service Representatives.

· These model conversions involve the replacement of the main processor card and any main storage on the processor card. If a 120MB 1/4-inch cartridge tape unit is in the base system unit, it will be replaced with a 1.2GB unit. Parts removed or replaced become the property of IBM and must be returned. Model conversions do not include the replacement or addition of any DASD or diskette devices.

· Customers converting to any 9404 F model who have diskette feature #6131/#6132 installed in the system unit or an expansion unit, must convert the diskette feature, for a charge, to feature #6137/#6138, using a feature conversion MES.

· Expansion unit features #7100 and #7110 are not supported on the 9404 F models. These features may be converted, for a charge, to an Expansion Unit #7120 for use on the 9404 F models. One #7120 Expansion Unit is supported on any F model.

· Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#2600) is not supported on the 9404 F models. This feature may be converted, for a charge, to a Storage Device Controller (#2624) for use on the 9404 F models. A maximum of two #2624 controllers may be installed, one in a 9404 F model system unit and one in an attached #7120 Expansion Unit.

· OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 and later includes programming that provides for the detection of processor model changes on the 9404 via the use of a 16-character system password. The purpose of the system password is to identify all model changes to help maintain the quality and integrity of the 9404 system and to ensure the protection of IBM's intellectual property, including IBM Licensed Internal Code and Licensed Programs. After the installation of OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 or later, the system will require a single entry of the system password when a system model change is performed.

There are also rare service conditions that may require re-entry of the system password. If the password must be entered and it is not known, the customer or service representative can select to operate in system password bypass mode. This will allow time to contact the marketing representative, who must obtain the correct system password by placing an RPQ order. If the correct system password is not available and the bypass period expires, the system will not complete the next IPL until the correct system password is provided. In an emergency (system down situation), IBM service can obtain the system password by contacting the ABS Product Support Center.

For more details on the system password, see the "System Operator's Guide," SC41-8082.

National Language Support

The 5250-style keyboards supported by the System/36 and System/38 are also supported by the Twinaxial Workstation Controller. Countries that are not listed below do not have a country-unique keyboard that is supported by the local workstation controller. The Twinaxial Work Station Controller will support the following keyboard IDs:

The 122 Typewriter Keyboard is supported on the 3179, 3180, 3196 and 3197 Display Stations. The IBM Enhanced Keyboard is supported on the 3179 (US only), 3196, and 3197 Display Stations.

Technical Description

Operating Environment

* The IBM 9348 model 2 and IBM 7208 models 2 and 12 tape drives have a dry bulb operating temperature range of 16 to 32C (60 to 90F).

· Acoustics: 9404 System Units are acoustically designed for use in "quiet office" areas such as private offices, libraries, classrooms, and conference and meeting rooms. Models operating with an Expansion Unit (#7100, #7110 or #7120), 3995 Compact Optical Library Dataserver or a 9348 Model 2 Magnetic Tape Unit are designed to operate in a "general business" environment such as administrative, bookkeeping, word processing, and terminal printer areas.

The 9404 can operate at either low voltage (100-127 VAC) or high voltage (200-240 VAC), 50/60 Hz. The default will be low voltage (100-127 VAC). A specify code (#2961) is required if the customer wants to use high voltage in order to receive the applicable power cord/plug.

Limitations

· ASCII devices attached to a AS/400 may not provide the same response time as 5250 devices. ASCII displays do not have identical keyboards, attributes, character sets, and functions to 5250 displays. Configuration of ASCII devices is more extensive than 5250 devices.

· AS/400 graphics is not supported on displays, IBM Personal Computers, or IBM Personal System/2s attached to 3174/3274, 5208, 5209, or ROLMbridge.

AS/400 PC Support is not supported for IBM Personal Computers or IBM Personal System/2s attached to 5251-12, 5294, 3174/3274, 5208, 5209, or ROLMbridge.

· The 1/4-inch tape cartridges recommended for use in the Cartridge Tape Unit (see "Supplies") should not be used in the 6157 Model 001. Their use in the 6157 could potentially cause excessive errors and shorten head life.

· The 1/4-inch tape cartridges from the 6157 and 5363 53MB Internal Streaming Tape Drive (#2605) can be read in the Cartridge Tape Unit when written in System/36 format. Writing on these tape cartridges is not supported.

Hardware Requirements

The minimum system configuration consists of a 9404 System Unit, a system console (display) and 5853 (or equivalent) modem. All models of the AS/400 require the appropriate model-unique version of AS/400 Licensed Internal Code. This model-unique licensed internal code is delivered on magnetic media with the system unit and with model upgrades. The media used is that required for the device specified as the system alternate IPL device. The licensed internal code may also be preloaded on disk storage.

The program size of the IBM AS/400 Licensed Internal Code for the 9404 is 76.5MB.

The system console may be any supported display or IBM Personal Computer emulating a supported display or Personal System/55 (AP only) attached to the Twinaxial Workstation Controller or 5209 Link Protocol Converter or a 3151, 316X, or equivalent attached to the ASCII Workstation Controller or the 5208 Link Protocol Converter. An Apple Macintosh computer workstation may be utilized as the system console when attached to a 9404 MFIOP via the Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk) feature. The console (display) should be located within 6 meters (20 ft.) of the operator's panel and the operator's panel must be viewable from this display. Although required, the system console is not a component of the base system unit.

Although a printer is not required for service, IBM's ability to diagnose the system and perform upgrades is greatly enhanced when a printer is available.

An IBM 5853, 7855, or equivalent modem is required for electronic customer support but is not a component of the base system unit.

Software Requirements

The 9404 E model system units and DASD features are designed to operate with the AS/400 Operating System/400 (OS/400) Version 2 Release 1.1 or subsequent releases.

OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 and later includes programming that provides for the detection of processor model changes on the 9404, via the use of a 16-character system password. The purpose of the system password is to identify all model changes to help maintain the quality and integrity of the system and to insure the protection of IBM's intellectual property, including IBM Licensed Internal Code and Licensed Programs. After the installation of OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 or later, the system will require a single entry of the system password when a system model change is performed.

For more details on the system password, see the "System Operator's Guide," SC41-8082.

Special Feature Codes -- Chargeable

Optional Non-Communication Features

The following optional features may be added to the 9404 models. All are available when initially ordered and as field upgrades except as noted. The IBM service representative is responsible for installing all upgrades and optional features. Four card slots are available in the 9404 System Unit. Five additional card slots are available in either the #7100, #7110 or #7120 Expansion Units.

When ordering features, it is necessary to consider the number of card slots required by the feature and the number of card slots available in each model. The main storage slots are fixed. Any of the four card slots can be used for I/O expansion. The number of I/O cards that can be attached to each model is listed in the description of the feature.

When ordering a 9404 System Unit using the HONE configurator CFAS400, the card slot count consideration will be handled automatically by the configurator for initial orders. If the configurator is not used, then the guidance provided in the feature descriptions should be used to configure a system.

(#2620) Cryptographic Processor

The Cryptographic Processor feature performs cryptographic functions based on a hardware implementation of the ANSI standard Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the RSA Public Key Algorithm (PKA). (The RSA algorithm was defined by R. Rivest, A. Shamir and L. Adleman.) Cryptographic applications are a cost-effective way of providing confidentiality and/or authentication and integrity assurance for many forms of valuable data. This protection is especially important in networks, which may be vulnerable to unauthorized access to data and resources. Application areas include banking, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and protection of proprietary information such as engineering drawings, customer lists, product plans, and personnel records.

Functions provided include encryption and decryption of data, authentication and verification of messages and data, creation and management of financial personal identification numbers (PINs) and management of cryptographic keys. The Public Key Algorithm supports the generation and verification of digital signatures for applications requiring positive electronic authentication of the identity of the sender of a message. The PKA function also provides efficient distribution of encrypted DES cryptographic keys.

Control of the tamper-resistant cryptographic hardware is provided through the supporting PRPQs listed below and optionally, through IBM Personal Security Cards using the IBM 4754-001 Security Interface Unit. The cryptographic functions provided conform to the IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture, are compatible with the IBM Transaction Security System, and interoperate with most DES based cryptographic products including IBM cryptographic products on MVS, RS/6000 (WT only), OS/2 and DOS and the IBM Cryptographic Support/400 licensed program (5728-CR1, 5738-CR1, 5763-CR1). Through its extensive use of industry standards, the cryptographic processor also interoperates with most other DES based cryptographic products.

This feature consists of an I/O processor card with a cable to attach a 4754-001, and a cable wrap connector (1 per system). The 4754-001, if desired, must be ordered separately.

Export authorization from the U.S. Government is required to ship this feature to countries outside the U.S. and Canada. Other countries may also regulate the export of this feature. Export licenses for feature #2620 will generally be approved for shipment to financial institutions and subsidiaries of U.S. companies. Export of feature #2628 may be approved in other cases. Check with your local export regulation coordinator for specific country requirements.

This feature requires the support of OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 and PRPQ 5799-FBR or OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.0 or later, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. PKA functions require OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.0 or later, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. Feature #2620 is not supported by IBM Cryptographic Support/400.

(#5003) DSLO Preload

This chargeable feature, available for E and F models that are ordered as TSP systems, provides the ability to get DSLO software preloaded on the system. If both feature #5003 and feature #5006 (Backup Tape for Preloaded Software) are selected, the set of backup tapes will include all software (both Basic One-Time Charge and DSLO software) that has been preloaded. Feature #5003 cannot be ordered as an MES.

(#5006) Backup Tape for Preloaded Software (E and F Models Only)

This feature, available for 9404 E and F models that are ordered as TSP systems, provides a set of backup tapes (complete system save) of the software that has been preloaded. The media used is determined by the alternate IPL device on the system. This feature can not be ordered as an MES.

Battery Backup and Main Storage Features

(#1101) Battery Power Unit

The Battery Power Unit is standard on the 9404 E and F models and optional on all other models.

This feature provides a minimum of five minutes of backup power after power has been lost. The backup power is to the entire system unit or expansion unit. If feature #1101 is installed in the system unit, then an additional feature #1101 must be ordered for the expansion unit. When power is lost, the system will continue to operate. When the battery current is low, the system will begin an orderly shut down if power has not returned. The Battery Power Unit consists of the batteries and the charging circuit. Card slots used: None. Maximum: Two. One in the system unit and one in the expansion unit.

(#3108) 8 MB Main Storage

The 8MB Main Storage feature card plugs directly into a card slot in the system unit and is available for the Models C25 and D20. Two 4MB Main Storage Expansion (#4114) cards can be connected to the 8MB Main Storage (#3108) card. Achieving the main storage maximum on the C25 and D20 requires that 8MB Main Storage (#3108) cards be installed in the two available main storage card slots and two 4MB Main Storage Expansion (#4114) cards be connected to each card. Any existing 4MB Main Storage (#4104) cards would have to be removed from the main storage slots. These cards are the property of the customer unless a feature conversion is ordered. See feature #4104 for feature conversion information. Card slots used: One. Maximum: Two.

(#3120) 8 MB Main Storage

This feature, available only on the Model D25 and E and F models is an 8 MB card that will accept one #3121 8 MB Main Storage Expansion card. Up to two are supported on model D25 and all E and F model systems. Card slots required: One. Maximum: Two.

(#3121) 8 MB Main Storage Expansion

(#3122) 32 MB Main Storage

This 32 MB feature card is available on the D25 and all E and F models, and may be required in one or both main storage slots to achieve the maximum model main storage capacity. Any existing 8 MB main storage cards (#3120/#3121) would have to be removed from the main storage slots to add this feature. These cards are the property of the customer unless a feature conversion or group exchange is ordered. Card slots required: One. Maximum: Two.

(#4104) 4 MB Main Storage

This 4 MB Main Storage card is available for all models of the 9404 except the Model D25 and all E and F models. This card plugs directly into a card slot in the system unit and is the first card required when adding main storage to the Model B10/B20/C10 or C20. Card slots used: One. Maximum: One on the B10 or C10, two on the B20, C20, C25, D10, or D20. Achieving the main storage maximum on the Model C25 requires that 8 MB Main Storage (#3108) cards be installed in the available main storage card slots. Therefore, any existing 4 MB Main Storage (#4104) cards would have to be removed from the main storage slots. These cards are the property of the customer unless a feature conversion is ordered.

Order the upgrade from 4MB Main Storage (#4104) to 8MB Main Storage (#3108) as a feature conversion MES.

(#4114) 4 MB Main Storage Expansion

The 4 MB Main Storage Expansion card plugs into the 4 MB or 8 MB Main Storage cards #4104 or #3108. Up to two 4 MB Main Storage Expansion cards may be connected to either the 4 MB or 8 MB Main Storage cards. This feature is available for all models that support #4104 or #3108. Card slots used: None. Maximum: Two on the Models B10 and C10 and four on the Models B20, C20, C25, D10, or D20.

Net-Priced Main Storage Feature Conversions/Exchanges

Net priced main storage feature exchanges will be offered with the 9404 models within COMPATIBLE features when needed to increase system capacity. Memory feature #4104 may be exchanged for feature #3108. Memory features #3120 and #3121 may be exchanged for feature #3122.

In addition, when model upgrades result in INCOMPATIBLE main storage features, one for one and mixed quantity exchanges (e.g., two for one) to equal or greater capacity in megabytes of feature main storage will be offered. IBM-manufactured main storage features will be exchanged either at no charge on a megabyte-for-megabyte basis, or at the net difference in the current price per megabyte of the main storage features on a megabyte-for-megabyte basis, whichever is greater.

Any incremental (added) IBM feature main storage will be billed at the current price per megabyte. Parts removed as part of a net-price transaction must be returned to IBM.

Main Storage Certification Letter

All main storage cards to be returned to IBM during an AS/400 model or net-priced main storage upgrade must be IBM manufactured main storage cards. Main storage card returns are subject to the terms described in the Main Storage Certification Letter which must be presented to the customer before the date of installation of the replacement main storage cards. A copy of the Main Storage Certification Letter must be retained with the customer agreement documentation. The Main Storage Certification Letter replaces the previously required Main Storage Certification form.

Copies of the Main Storage Certification Letter may be obtained from your IBM representative.

· #9885 6 meter (20 foot) CCITT X.21 cable (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

Note 1: Use of this 24.4 meter (80 foot) V.35 cable restricts the maximum line speed to 64Kbps.

Note 2: Use of these longer cables requires that the attaching Data Communications Equipment (DCE) support the V.36 transmitter signal element timing Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) source signal.

If, after initial installation a change of interface type or cable length is desired, a separate cable may be ordered.

The High Speed Communications Adapter supports Frame Relay, X.25 or SDLC protocols. The specific protocol to be used is selected by OS/400 configuration commands. The Frame Relay, X.25 or SDLC code is then loaded into the adapter when the line is enabled.

The Frame Relay code load supports up to 256 permanent virtual circuits on the 9406, through one physical port. The virtual circuits can be individually configured for the following types of connections:

· Frame Relay Network link bridged to remote Token-Ring, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet Version 2, FDDI or SDDI LANs

· non-switched communications bridged link to remote Token-Ring, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet Version 2, FDDI or SDDI LANs

Logical Link Control (LLC) IEEE 802.2/ISO 8802.2 Type I (connectionless) and Type II (connection-oriented) services, provided by the Frame Relay code, allow TCP/IP and SNA sessions over these connections. Source Route Bridging function allows products on a remote Token-Ring, FDDI or SDDI LAN to communicate with the AS/400 through a remote bridge. Transparent Bridging is employed for the remote Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 LAN connections. AS/400 feature #2666 interoperates with IBM RouteXpander/2 and the IBM 6611 Network Processor for bridged connections to remote Token-Ring LANs. Interoperation with the IBM 6611 also provides a bridged connection to remote IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet Version 2 LANs. TCP/IP Forum RFC 1490 (Request For Comment - Multiprotocol Connect over Frame Relay) defines the industry standard formats used to facilitate this bridged interoperation. Support of these formats allows the High Speed Communications Adapter to also interoperate with other industry standard bridges.

Frame Relay Standards: Frame Relay functions of the High Speed Communications Adapter feature are implemented in accordance with these standards:

· ANSI T1.618 Core Aspects of Frame Relay Protocol for Frame Relay Bearer Service

The SDLC code load supports non-switched communications over any of the three possible interfaces (V.35, V.36/EIA 449 or X.21).

The X.25 code load supports up to 64 virtual circuits over any of the three possible interfaces (V.35, V.36/EIA 449 or X.21).

Frame Relay and SDLC functions require OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 or later. X.25 function requires OS/400 Version 3 Release 1 or later. I/O Card Slots Used: One. Maximums: Two on Models D10, D20, D25, E10, E20, E25, F10 and F20. Four on Model F25.

Cables: The customer must procure the Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) cable which connects between feature #2625 and the Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 transceiver. The AUI cable is not available from IBM, but can be obtained from an Ethernet supplier.

(#2663) I/O Attachment Processor

This feature provides the communications hardware base for the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter (#2668). The two features are integrated in a single hardware package to operate as a unit. Feature #2663 consists of a new I/O processor card that provides a connection to feature #2668. Operating System/400 Version 3 Release 1, or later, is required.

The I/O Attachment Processor is attached to AS/400 systems as a prerequisite for feature #2668. Refer to feature #2668 for usage guidelines and maximums.

(#2664) Integrated Fax Adapter

This feature provides the AS/400 with two ports capable of transmission and receipt of facsimile data to or from a Group 3 capable fax machine, another AS/400 with an Integrated Fax Adapter, or PCs with appropriately programmed fax adapters. Feature #2664 consists of a card, a wrap cable (one per machine), two country-unique attachment couplers, telephone cables and Licensed Internal Code.

The Integrated Fax Adapter is supported by the Facsimile Support/400* licensed program offering that, until now, supported only the PS/2 LAN-based facsimile product. This program provides configuration parameters for the Integrated Fax Adapter, schedules fax transmissions between multiple adapters, and manages sending and receiving faxes to and from the adapter.

The Integrated Fax Adapter can simultaneously support two send, two receive, or one send and one receive operation. To the AS/400 system, the Integrated Fax Adapter appears as an IPDS* (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) printer for outbound faxes. Most output, including text, image, graphics and bar codes that can be printed on an AS/400 IPDS printer can be faxed via the Integrated Fax Adapter. Double Byte Character Sets (DBCS) are supported for in-bound faxes, but not for out-bound faxes.

The Integrated Fax Adapter is designed to be directly attached to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Attachment to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) may give unsatisfactory results.

Feature #2664 supports the facsimile protocols defined in CCITT Blue Book Volume VII, Fasicle VII.3 Recommendations T.4 and T.30.

Documents transmitted from the AS/400 through the Integrated Fax Adapter are limited to a maximum of approximately 30 text pages per port, per phone call. If only a single port is configured for sending Fax documents, then the limit is raised to approximately 60 text pages. Resident cover pages are counted against this limit. Feature #2664 supports the following compression algorithms in fax mode:

Initial country support includes: USA, Canada, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Japan and Sweden. Country support is subject to approval by that country. Two country-unique couplers and country- specific Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) attachment cables (one for each port), are required. The couplers and cables are included with the Integrated Fax Adapter feature.

OS/400 Version 3 Release 0.5, or later, and Facsimile Support/400 Version 3 Release 0.5, or later, or OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 and Facsimile Support/400 Version 2 Release 3, with PRPQ P84237 (5799-XBX) are required to support this feature.

(#2668) AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter provides wireless connectivity from AS/400 systems to workstations or other systems connected to a wireless LAN network. With a wireless LAN connection, end-users can have roaming, portable access to the information they need, wherever they are, within the area of local wireless radio coverage. In addition, the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter may be the preferred solution in situations where wiring is expensive or impossible or where computing resource and device layouts change periodically. Support is provided for portable and stationary PCs, for specialized hand-held devices used for data collection, and for connections between AS/400 systems.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter uses an advanced technology, direct sequence, spread-spectrum radio operating in the 2.4 to 2.4835GHz band. The operating band may be narrower in some countries to meet country regulations. Spread spectrum provides excellent resistance to interference from other radio frequency (RF) sources.

Availability of this feature in any particular country is dependent on current country radio frequency regulations and certification for use by the country.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased until the approval of the FCC has been obtained.

Operation in the United States does not require a license from the Federal Communications Commission.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter comes with an antenna and a cable for connecting the antenna to the adapter. The area of coverage may be extended beyond the coverage provided by the antenna attached to the adapter by adding AS/400 Wireless LAN Access Points to the network via an unshielded twisted-pair wired backbone. In addition, access points may be connected without wires, acting as wireless repeaters. Each adapter or access point generates one cell of coverage area. Networks are designed to create overlapping cells to ensure consistent coverage of the area desired. The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter allows transparent seamless movement from cell to cell while maintaining a continuous host session. A site survey by trained professionals is recommended to assist in network design.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter operates with existing application software interfaces. Existing 5250 and LAN-oriented applications can use the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter without change.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter supports the AS/400 family of wireless LAN and data collection devices. This family of devices provides comprehensive connectivity solutions for attaching personal computers and data collection devices to the AS/400 in a mobile, wireless fashion. The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter also operates with the DATASPAN** 2.4GHz family of products from the Telxon Corporation. In addition to the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter, the following AS/400 wireless LAN networking devices are available from IBM:

· Micro Channel* and PC AT* wireless LAN adapters to enable PCs to participate in the AS/400 Wireless LAN network.

The raw bit rate for the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter is 2Mbps, shared by all active devices in the network. The range covered by one cell in most office environments is from 100 to 300 feet in all directions, depending on the building structure, antenna type and antenna placement. Outdoors, with a clear line-of-sight between specialized antennas, a range of up to three miles may be achieved.

This feature consists of an I/O adapter card, an antenna and a coaxial cable to attach the antenna. The following cable and antenna choices are offered:

o #9814 - 20-Foot Antenna Cable (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

File Server I/O Processor

The File Server I/O Processor (FSIOP), along with supporting AS/400 software, provides a high performance, client-centered file system. This file system provides access to client platforms such as OS/2, Windows and DOS attached to Token-Ring and Ethernet LANs. The file system can also be accessed by AS/400 host applications and provide LAN communications to AS/400 applications using TCP/IP and APPN.

The FSIOP can leverage OS/2 LAN server implementations to provide fast file serving performance on LANs. PC file serving performance on the AS/400 is increased up to eight times over previous AS/400 offerings.

The FSIOP consists of various initial order configurations that can be upgraded in the field using separate memory and second-port upgrade features. The following initial configuration features can be ordered on select 9404 D, E and F models:

The following features are available for upgrading the capability of File Server I/O Processors:

· #6509 - Additional 16MB FSIOP Memory: From one to three features may be installed up to the FSIOP memory maximum of 64MB.

· #6520 - Upgrade One-Port FSIOP to Two-Port: One feature may be installed to increase the number of ports from one to two. Cannot be used with a two-port FSIOP.

Cables: One or two of the following LAN cables are included with the FSIOP and should be specified when ordering. One cable is included with a One-Port FSIOP and upgrade feature #6520. Two cables are included with the Two-Port FSIOPs. (Note: If using the RJ45 connection, a specify cable is not required.)

· #9024 - Token-Ring Cable (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 1, 1997)

The File Server I/O Processor features require the support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.0, or later. Each FSIOP feature also requires the licensed program, LAN Server/400 (5763-XZ1).

The maximum number of FSIOP features that may be installed on the AS/400 is four, subject to the maximum number of LANs allowed on the system. The maximum is the aggregate number of all types of LANs. The Two-Port FSIOP is counted as two LANs. Card slots required: Two

9404 LAN Feature Summary

· The maximum number of LANs for each system model reflects the total of all LAN features which can be installed on that model.

· Only one 100Mbps LAN (FDDI #2618 or SDDI #2665) can be included in this maximum.

· The FSIOP is offered in one-port and two-port configurations. The two-port features count as two LANs when figuring the maximum LANs.

· Feature #6520 upgrades a One-Port FSIOP to a Two-Port FSIOP. #6520 counts as one LAN against the total LANs/System.

· S = Supported; not an orderable feature on this system model but may be brought along if upgrading from a previous model.

· All of the Token-Ring network features for the AS/400 system use the same 2.5 meter cable for connection to the Token-Ring. The standard IBM Cabling System patch cables can increase the length where necessary.

· The high performance Token-Ring Adapter (#2619) should be ordered where 9404 system LAN bandwidth demand is expected to exceed 1-4Mbps. This range assumes a random transaction mix consisting of both short interactive exchanges and large file transfers. The low end of the range applies when short exchanges represent most of the LAN traffic. Below these thresholds feature #2626 should offer acceptable performance at a lower price.

· The high performance Ethernet adapter (#2617) should be ordered when 9404 system LAN bandwidth demand is expected to exceed 0.3-1Mbps. This range assumes a random transaction mix consisting of both short interactive exchanges and large file transfers. The low end of the range applies when short exchanges represent most of the LAN traffic. Below these thresholds feature #2625 should offer acceptable performance at a lower price.

Communication Guidelines

The 9404 D, E and F model communications controllers and line adapters support a variety of protocols and line types:

· Switched and nonswitched point-to-point and multipoint lines are supported. X.25 lines are full duplex. ASYNC lines can be full or half duplex.

· Serial Auto-dial modem support is provided by the EIA 232/V.24 interface. The V.25 bis command set is supported for synchronous (SDLC), Binary Synchronous (BSC), and Asynchronous (ASYNC) lines. X.25 lines are not supported using Serial Auto-dial. Modems must support the bit synchronous (HDLC) format for dialing to establish connection for BSC data transfer using the AS/400 V.25 bis Auto-dial Support for BSC lines.

· The AS/400 does not offer a Digital Data Service Adapter (DDSA). Access to the AT&T Data-Phone Digital Service(3) is via a 5821 or 5822 Data Service Unit (DSU) and Channel Service Unit (CSU). The 9404 Communications Controllers support the 5821 or 5822 DSU/CSU (or equivalent OEM DSU/CSU).

· X.21 networks that are compatible with IBM's implementation of X.21 as described in "IBM Implementation of X.21 General Information" manual, (GA27-3287) and complying with the CCITT Recommendation X.21, 1980 and 1984, are supported. The X.21 Short Hold Mode (SHM) and Multiple Port Sharing (MPS) functions of X.21 Circuit Switched are supported on the 9404. X.21 guidelines are:

o X.21 SHM/MPS concurrent operation is supported for any combination of up to six lines per port group and up to six port groups with BSC, ASYNC, SDLC, and X.25 lines by the Six-line Communications Controller.

o The Multi-Function I/O Processor supports one one-line X.21 SHM line with concurrent operation of either BSC, ASYNC, SDLC, or X.25 on the other line.

· The AS/400 provides for packet-switched networks complying with the 1980, 1984 and 1988 CCITT recommendation X.25. The AS/400 interface to these networks will be in conformance with the functional description contained in the "IBM General Information X.25 Interface for attaching IBM SNA Nodes to Packet-Switched Data Networks" (GA27-3345, 1980 and GA27-3761, 1984 and 1988). Attachment to an X.25 network is via a nonswitched line through either an X.21 bis (V.24 or V.35) interface.

Attachment to an X.25 network via an X.25 auto-dial switched line is also supported.

See 2700 Charts P and Q in Sales Manual pages for a list of supported networks. X.25 guidelines are:

o 9404 supports up to 96 switched and/or permanent virtual circuits per Six-line communications controller with up to 32 virtual circuits per line.

o X.25 support is defined in "The X.25 1984 Interface for attaching SNA Nodes to Packet Switched Data Networks Architecture Reference", SC30-3409.

The ISDN Basic Rate Interface Adapter (#2605) will provide the capability to attach to voice/data transmission services having interfaces complying with the IBM ISDN architecture which interprets Recommendation ISDN (1988) of the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT). This interface support will be in conformance with the functional description contained in "Integrated Services Digital Networks Data Link Control - Architecture Reference" (SC31-6826), and Integrated Services Digital "Networks Circuit-Switching Signalling Control - Architecture Reference", (SC31-6827). This ISDN feature supports attachment to the following switches:

Version 2 Release 3 of OS/400 adds support for what is commonly called National ISDN. The Basic Rate Interface Adapter (#2605) now also provides the capability to attach to voice/data transmission services which comply with the guidelines specified in the following Bellcore documents:

4. Generic Guidelines for ISDN Terminal Equipment on Basic Access Interfaces; Special Report SR-NWT-001953

5. Generic Guidelines for ISDN Terminal Equipment on National ISDN-2 Basic Rate Interfaces; Special Report SR-NWT-002361

OS/400 configuration parameters are used to select the Basic Rate Interface Adapter operation which is compatible with the ISDN transmission services being used.

Announcement of attachment capability for other ISDN switches, or given release levels of these switches, will depend on network availability and IBM's characterization of the network interface. Selection of additional ISDN networks for attachment will be based upon IBM's technical and business judgement in addressing the requirements of its customers. If network suppliers require certification of this feature, it is the responsibility of the customer or the network supplier to obtain this certification.

Attachment of X.25 Packet Switched Networks is also supported using an ISDN B channel as the access facility. The AS/400 will support two X.25 network access types:

o Packet Mode - The ISDN network provides X.25 (Based on offerings of the network provider)

Note: When using the ISDN Basic Rate Interface Adapter (#2605), communications with other systems equipped with the IBM ISDN 7820 is not supported if these systems do not support IDLC or X.25 protocols (either natively or through a protocol converter box).

Using appropriate T1/E1/J1 DCE (multiplexor or DSU/CSU), the 9404 Six-line communications controller (#2623) with attached V.35 one-line adapters (#6153-6173) supports SDLC data lines at speeds up to:
