The I-O Xip Twinax Rackmount Controller allows Twinax displays and printers to be attached to an AS/400, iSeries or eServer i5 host via standard Ethernet and TCP/IP.

Part Number: IOXIP-RC

Price: $1795

IO Xip Twinax Controller

The IO Xip Twinax Controller connects IBM & IBM Compatible Twinax display stations and printers to IBM Power System(Power System i, iSeries, or AS/400) hosts via TCP/IP over an Ethernet Network. This cost-saving controller protects the investment of up to 14 Twinax 5250 displays and IPDS/SCS system printers by allowing them to function in an Ethernet environment. The Xip Controller is housed in a rack mountable 1U case.

General Information

Investment Protection

There is no need to lose the investment made in valuable Twinax display stations and system printers. The Xip Controller provides an economical means to attach these reliable products to a System i, iSeries, or AS/400 via an Ethernet Network.

Local Connection

The Xip Controller can be installed locally, eliminating the need for an expensive Twinax Work Station Controller. Twinax devices are simply connected to the Xip Controller via existing Twinax cabling.

Remote Locations

In addition to local IBM host connectivity, the I-O Xip Controller can be installed at remote locations. Compared to traditional remote controllers, the Xip Controller is an economical solution that does not require costly leased lines.

Ease of Installation

Devices attached to the Xip Controller are auto configured at the host through the use of TN5250e, AnyNet, or SNA. Twinax displays and printers are up and running in minutes. IPDS printers can also be configured to us PPR/PPD.
