5209 Link Protocol Converter - IBM 3174 Introduction Manual

5209 Link Protocol Converter
The IBM 5209 Link Protocol Converter enables terminals to communicate with a
System 36, System 38 (S/36 or S/38), or AS/400 host or control unit in addition to a
3174 controller.
The 5209 attaches to the 3174 controller by the 3299 Terminal Multiplexer. This
permits the 5209 to be located up to 1500 meters (4920 feet) from the 3174
controller and 1500 meters from the host or control unit. The terminals and
printers can be located another 1500 meters from the host.
The 5209 can connect up to seven terminals and printers. The terminals can be
switched between host sessions on the S/36, S/38, or AS/400 and the 370 host by
processing a specific key sequence. Printers can be assigned to either host
through configuration.
The 5209 provides the customer a means of using S/3x systems as a department
computer while maintaining host applications on the 370. This eliminates dual
terminals and printers and reduces the cabling impact.
