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.
