Do you have remote users that need to access your iSeries? We have secure 5250 remote solutions, whether you need to connect an entire remote office, or just enable single mobile workers to log in.

Remote Offices

Traditionally, 5250 remote offices were connected to their home AS400 through a remote controller that dialed in via a modem on a dedicated "leased line." The monthly leased line charges made this a very expensive solution. Additionally, the data was encapsulated during transmission, which slowed down the connection.

Today, you can connect your remote offices via the Internet with products like the Bosanova e-Twinax Controller and the I-O 5794ip Remote Controller. In addition to Internet access, the controllers allow you to eliminate SNA from your LAN and provide TCP/IP support.

You can also use these "Remote" Controllers to preserve your investment in your Twinax equipment since you can connect Twinax devices and do not need a Twinax host.

Benefits:
  • Noticeable increase in speed over leased line
  • Eliminate leased line charges
  • TCP/IP over Twinax (No more SNA!)
  • Printer support (including IPDS)
  • Remote administration
  • Can attach Twinax devices to a non-Twinax host
  • BOS e-Twinax Controller: supports e-mail for Twinax terminals
