Full System Console Control for your AS/400s
or
or Combination of AS/400®s and
LPARs
Over a TCP/IP LAN, WAN or Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Overview
With the TwiNet SNA Gateway you can eliminate the
problems of administering the System Console function in a AS/400
environment. Our IP System
Console (IPSC)
configuration will make System Console administration of multiple
AS/400s as simple as opening a Window on a PC anywhere on your
LAN, WAN, or VPN.

If you have multiple AS/400s or LPARs, our Multiple
System Console Solution (MSCS) is for you. Click
here to go to the MSCS page and learn about controlling all
your AS/400s and LPARs over ANY IP connection.
The System Console is typically a "dumb" twinax Display Station
attached to Port 0 / Address 0 of your AS/400 or LPAR. The System
Console is the only terminal that can:
 | Perform certain System Maintenance and Configuration Procedures
(Restricted State) |
 | Execute certain type of System Backups (SAVSYS) |
 | Respond to certain types of "System Console
Only" messages |
 | Control a Local or Remote AS/400 |
Your AS/400 System Console is a Twinax Terminal
installed on Port 0 / Address 0. It also requires that an operator be on site to respond to the message, or
perform the particular procedure that can only be executed from the System Console.
When the operator is not on site, it usually requires a phone call or a page to a standby
operations person who would need to either travel to the office or diagnose the problem
over the phone. It may even require a drive to the office from home.
TwiNet IPSC will allow these AS/400 "System Console Functions" to be handled from anywhere on your LAN, WAN or
VPN.
This also includes dial-in to a network attached Remote Access Server (RAS) such as
a Perle 833, Shiva LanRover or a BOSaNOVA LanLynk. This
eliminates the necessity of the AS/400 operator to be at the normal location for the
System Console - the computer room.

Applications for IP System Console with TwiNet
 | Control Local or Remote AS/400s or LPARs from a single
"System Console" |
 | Control an AS/36 and AS/400 from the same System Console
- Allows upgrading from one system to a new system to be more convenient. You can
also configure additional sessions from each system, up to seven (7) from each
TwiNet SNA Gateway. |
 | Allow a local network PC to be System Console for an AS/400 at a
remote location - Improves system operation capabilities at other locations
without the need for a system operator. |
 | Allow System Consoles to be anywhere on your LAN/WAN/VPN
|
Some Features of IPSC with TwiNet
 | Flexible Twinax connection means increased productivity.
The TwiNet solution uses a Twinax connection to the host IBM midrange system
which means that it can support the IBM AS/400, System/36, Advanced
Series/36 and Twinax Remote Controllers. Since TwiNet provides a single point of contact to the midrange host, there
is less configuration and operating overhead, providing better overall host performance. |
 | Simple, intuitive installation and configuration. On the PC
side, a single protocol can be used for both LAN and host PCs, and since
TwiNet is a
native Twinax gateway, it does not require the overhead and configuration complexities of
an APPC router. And the TwiNet Gold Client software installs quickly and easily, using industry-standard LAN
interfaces. |

The
picture on the left shows a standard TwiNet installation. The
IBM Host can be any S/3X, AS/400 or Remote Control Unit with a
Twinax attachment installed. TwiNet can be installed either
close to the Host or close to the Clients, using the existing
Twinax or UTP cabling very good for long distance connection (up
to 5000 feet). |

TwiNet support any
Windows'95/98/2000 or NT Client. More technical information is available
