Twinax to Ethernet Conversion
- Want to switch your leased line to a DSL or Cable Modem service but still have Twinax?
- Looking to upgrade your bandwidth but limited to Leased Lines?
- Moving from an IBM 9406 AS400 to a new state of the art iSeries box?
- Have IBM 5794 controllers that IBM will no longer support?
- Looking to streamline IP?
There are many reasons to make the move from Twinax to Ethernet, but how can you ustify disposing your Twinax equipment? You don't have to!
Maintain your Investment in Twinax Equipment
Maintain your investment in Twinax equipment while you make the move from Twinax to Ethernet with a "Remote" Controller. Controllers like the BOSaNOVA e-Twinax Controller and the I-O 5794ip Controller allow you to access your Twinax devices without a true Twinax connection. Many AS400 users have found this solution valuable and continue to use their legacy Twinax equipment such as their IBM 3476, 3477 terminals and IBM 6400, 6262 printers even after they have migrated to the newer iSeries models that do not have a Twinax port option.

Cabling
See more information on migrating from Twinax to Ethernet in our "Cabling" Tab.
Terminals
Add e-mail to your Twinax terminals with the BOSaNOVA e-Twinax Controller. The e-Twinax Controller includes TwinMail which can be used to give your 5250 dumb terminal users access to send and receive standard email.
Migrate from traditional green screen terminals to Thin Twinax Terminals, Ethernet Terminals or Thin Clients. See more information in our "Thin Client" tab.
Printers
Have an expensive Twinax printer? Extend its life by using a Reverse Protocol Converter like the I-O Lan RPC or the BOSaNOVA e-TwinPrint to turn that workhorse legacy Twinax printer into an Ethernet printer. The reverse protocol converter makes it available to any host on your Ethernet network.
