In the IBM Mainframe and AS/400 environment, the AXIS 570/670
Flexibility
can emulate IBM twinax and coax print and control functionality.
This means that the AXIS 570/670 can effectively replace coax/twinax
attached printers and control units on the LAN.
A single IBM data stream can be directed to any of the two high-speed
parallel printer ports, or the serial printer port, using TCP/IP or SNA
transport protocols.
It supports printing in all the major computer systems and
environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP
environment. It also allows you to print on up to three printers
simultaneously, for non-IBM data streams.
The AXIS ETRAX chip has been specifically designed for LAN
Speed
products and benefits users with a faster throughput than a direct PC-
to-printer connection. With a sustained data throughput of up to 400
kbytes per second, the AXIS 570/670 is fast. High speed Centronics
communication such as Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode, High Speed and
IBM Fast Byte is supported.
You can install the AXIS 570/670 in minutes, using the AXIS
Easy to Install
NetPilot installation software. Its Installation Wizard, combined with
the axinstall script for UNIX workstations, allows installation into all
supported networking environments.
You can assign passwords to restrict both login and printer access.
