193-111 IBM 5250 EMULATION ADAPTER/A AND ENHANCED CABLE SOLUTIONS The IBM 5250 Emulation Adapter/A, when used with a compatible terminal emulation program, enables systems meeting the IBM Micro Channel (R) Standard to be attached to IBM System/36, System/38, and AS/400 (R) hosts. Compatible IBM 5250 terminal emulation programs include: o IBM Enhanced 5250 Emulation Program Micro Channel Support Version 1.0 (FC 5222, PN 64G3594). Provides function and features equivalent to the currently available IBM Enhanced 5250 Emulation Program Version 2.3. (Reference Programming Announcement 293-203, dated May 4, 1993.) o IBM PC Support/400 Version 2 Release 1 Workstation Function and later releases. o IBM Communications Manager-based products such as Extended Services for OS/2 (TM) and IBM Communications Manager/2 Version 1.0 (these products support AS/400 attachment only). o RUMBA (1)/400 feature of PC Support/400. Attachment is made via an appropriate cabling system, either directly to the host Twinaxial Workstation Controller or indirectly via a 5294, 5394 or 5494 Remote Control Unit. New cable solutions for connection of the IBM 5250 Emulation Family adapters to today's popular cabling systems are also announced. The IBM 5250 Emulation Data Connector Cable allows the adapters to be attached to a shielded twisted-pair cabling system via the standard IBM Data Connector. The IBM 5250 Emulation UTP Cable allows attachment to unshielded twisted-pair cabling via an industry standard RJ-11 jack. The current IBM Enhanced 5250 Display Station Emulation Integrated Cable Assembly (FC 2877, PN 6403635) will continue to be available for attachment to traditional twinaxial cabling. All three cables are supported by the currently available IBM Enhanced 5250 Display Station Emulation Adapter (FC 2911, PN 30F5383) and the new IBM 5250 Emulation Adapter/A. Planned Availability Dates: o May 7, 1993 -- IBM 5250 Emulation Adapter/A (FC 3494, PN 64G3494) o May 7, 1993 -- IBM 5250 Emulation Data Connector Cable (FC 3535, PN 60G1043) o May 7, 1993 -- IBM 5250 Emulation UTP Cable (FC 3540, PN 60G1042) Note: FC = Feature Code, PN = Part Number (R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
