Connects Twinax Displays & Printers
to the System i, Power9, Power8, Power7,
Power6, i5, & iSeries AS/400
Over Any TCP/IP Ethernet
ConnectionOverview
The I-O
Xip+ Twinax Controller connects IBM and IBM compatible
Twinax display stations and printers to any
model AS400, iSeries
or System
i host
via TCP/IP over an Ethernet LAN, WAN or the
Internet. The Xip+ is ideal for those who are
moving to a new Power8 or Power7 and those migrating
any model iSeries AS/400 to an
all Ethernet environment.
The
various models of the
Xip+ support
from 1 Twinax Printer to 42 Twinax
Devices/Addresses. Click here to see the various models available.

 Additional Features
FEATURES |
BENEFITS |
Investment Protection |
When installing an Ethernet LAN
that is attached to an AS/400–iSeries, reliable Twinax
displays and IPDS/SCS printers can operate in the new Ethernet
environment maintaining the usefulness of the equipment |
Eliminates the Need
for Twinax Work Station Controller |
A significant saving is realized
by installing an I-O Xip+ Twinax Controller instead of an
expensive IBM Twinax Work Station Controller |
No
IBM Remote Controller
Required |
When remote access to an AS/400–iSeries
is required, an expensive IBM or IBM compatible remote controller
is replaced by an economical I–O Xip+ Controller |
No Leased Lines or
Expensive Modems |
When communicating to a remote
site, there is no need to spend valuable resources on high-priced
leased lines and special modems. |
No Re-cabling |
The I-O
Xip+ allows Twinax displays
and printers to be connected to existing Twinax or twisted pair
cabling eliminating the expense of re-cabling |
Multiple Protocols |
Supports the auto configuring
TN5250e and AnyNet for remote locations or SNA for a local attachment |
Multiple Host |
Supports up to 4 hosts |
Multiple Sessions |
Up to 4 sessions per physical
device address can be configured – Up to 56 logical sessions supported |
