  Reverse Protocol Converter (RPC) Supporting Single Twinax Printers

  Overview
 
The e-TwinPrint, a reverse protocol converter (RPC), enables workhorse SCS and IPDS printers in remote locations to be supported and managed easily via a Web browser. Protect your Twinax printer investment, even as you move the rest of your organization to a LAN environment, with this SNA-free, pure TCP/IP RPC.
 
Advantages
 
  Configured and managed remotely via a Web browser, eliminating the requirement to use a PC on the same LAN with configuration and management software installed
  Permits IT staff to handle problems directly, without having to talk an end user on location through complex diagnostics
  Supports initial setup via a dumb terminal, an advantage when the device is located in a small remote site without a PC
  Automatically creates printer device description on the host
  Does not use AnyNet or MPTN (does not use SNA!)
  Upgradeable to support 3 or 10 devices (including Terminals) with software key
  DHCP or Static IP
  Supports most popular e-Twin@x ControllerTM features, such as encrypted connection over the Internet using SECURIT-e ServerTM, Hot Backup, Dial Backup, System Backup, DNS to IP address resolution, etc.*
* For more information on these features, please visit our e-Twin@x Controller site.
 
Technical Specifications
 
Printers Supported
  Supports all Twinax printers (both SCS and IPDS).
 
Important Note Regarding IPDS Printers: The PSF/400 option must be installed on the host for the e-TwinPrint to be able to work with IPDS printers. When configuring any IP-attached IPDS printer in the e-TwinPrint Configurator, the AFP parameter in the device description must be set to *YES. Because the e-TwinPrint works as pure TCP/IP controller, the IPDS printer attached to the e-TwinPrint will also be configured as an IP-attached printer. In this case the e-TwinPrint emulates the behavior of the network printer against the AS/400. As a result, the e-TwinPrint always creates the printer device description with AFP(*YES). This configuration environment requires that PSF/400 (Print Services Facility for AS/400) be installed on the host. For more information about PSF/400, visit http://www.printers.ibm.com/R5PSC.NSF/Web/4psf400.

Note: Starting with OS/400 V4R4, PSF/400 is a licensed option that must be purchased separately from IBM.
 

Host System Requirements
  OS/400 V3R2 or higher
  For device naming and SCS printing functionality the correct PTF must be installed.
  Ethernet LAN connection
