Advanced 3270 (78/79) Emulation Adapter for ISA - Product Overview

Applicable to: World-Wide

• Product Jumper Settings page.

• Low power usage
• A circuit card that fits in either half slot or full slot.
• System efficiency/performance improvement enablers: additional on-card buffers and 3270 buffer page change register
• Supports emulation of IBM 3278 Display Station Model 2 and IBM 3279 Color Display Station Model 2A or S2A, with certain restrictions.
• No host hardware or host system software modifications required for 3270 emulated functions.
• Supports attachment to the IBM 3274 via the IBM 3299 Terminal Multiplexer.
• A cable receptacle mounted on the card provides for connection to 3274 via coaxial cable, IBM Cabling System media or telephone twisted-pair via IBM/ROLM 3270.
• Distributed functions terminal mode operation - allows distribution of 3270 data stream processing from the control unit to the Personal Computer and allows implementation of advanced capabilities such as multiple concurrent 3270 sessions. Requires corresponding capability on the upstream node (available with the IBM 3274 Control Unit) and in an IBM Personal Computer 3270 Emulation Program (available with 3270-PC Control Program).
