I-O LAN RPC
Ethernet Connectivity for Twinax or Coax System Printers

The I-O LAN RPC Print Server protects the investment in “legacy” IBM system printers when migrating to Ethernet. It allows Twinax or Coax IPDS, SCS, or SCS printers to be connected to an Ethernet LAN.

The I-O LAN RPC Print Server protects your investment in reliable “legacy” system printers when migrating to TCP/IP Ethernet. It allows twinax or coax IPDS, SCS, or SCS/DSC printers to be connected to an Ethernet network.

Once connected through an I-O LAN RPC an IPDS twinax or IPDS coax system printer can be addressed via TCP/IP from an IBM AS/400 or 3270-type mainframe. The attached printer can be a laser, dot-matrix or line printer. The I-O LAN RPC will reliably communicate the IPDS data received over the TCP/IP Ethernet link to the attached twinax or coax cable.

With an I-O LAN RPC a SCS twinax or SCS/DSC coax system printer becomes available to virtually any host on the Ethernet network. This includes AS/400, 3270-type mainframe, Unix, Windows 2000 and NT, and Novell host systems, as well as Windows PCs. All host systems can simultaneously communicate with the I-O attached system printer.

Line and matrix printers configured via AnyNet or SNA on an AS/400 offer page range printing support and posting of the FORM ALIGNMENT message. The latter is a particularly valuable feature when printing on pre-printed stationary such as checks and invoices.

With I-O’s Windows-based configuration utility, the initial setup and configuration is a painless and straight forward task. Once an IP address has been assigned, administrators can easily configure even remote I-O print servers directly from their desktop.
