The 3494 manages information exchanges with the AS/400
system over a communication network.
send/receive information on each SNA communication line at
speeds up to 19.200 Kbps.
V.35 Adapter: The V.35 communication card can
send/receive information on the SNA communication line at
64 Kbps. The adapter conforms to CCITT V.35 standard. It
is recommended that the adapter be used for communication
speeds above 19.200 Kbps.
X.21 Adapter: The X.21 communication card can
send/receive information on the SNA communication line at
64 Kbps.
The 3494 attaches to the LAN using the following
configurations:
AS/400 Attachment Configuration: This configuration
allows the 3494 to communicate with AS/400 systems using
a LAN. The 3494 and AS/400 system can be on the same
LAN or on separate LANs that are connected using bridges.
Gateway Configuration: This configuration allows PWSs
connected to the LAN to attach to the AS/400 through the
3494. This configuration is referred to as LAN Gateway
configuration since the 3494 serves as a gateway between
the LAN-attached workstations and the AS/400.
Gateway and AS/400 Attachment Configuration: The
3494 controller can be configured to support both AS/400
attachment and Gateway attachment. The same Ethernet
adapter can be used for both configurations.
Ethernet Adapter: The Ethernet adapter working in a
Gateway configuration, enables up to 80 PWSs per adapter.
Token Ring Adapter: Token-Ring adapter working in a
Gateway configuration, enables up to 80 PWSs.
Each terminal NWS device can support up to four session
simultaneously. These session can be directed to either the
same or different AS/400 systems. Using a predefined key
