Overview
The Decision Data Model 3030
emulates an IBM 5494 Remote Control Unit. It provides a number of connection
options that include Twinax, ASCII, Token Ring, and Ethernet. Designed with
flexibility in mind, the 3030 controller allows you to mix adapters to meet
remote sites connectivity requirements.
The user can select from 0 to
4 Twinax, ASCII or Ethernet adapters. It also allows for 0 to 1 Token Ring
adapters. Based on the above, a maximum configuration could be 224 Twinax
devices, or 32 ASCII devices or 320 Ethernet devices or some mix of the three.
In addition, the controller will support a maximum of 80 Token Ring devices.
LAN/WAN
Connectivity
The 3030's connectivity is
complemented by full LAN and WAN support. Support for Token Ring downstream
physical unit (DSPU) attachment enhances host access for a total of 224 Twinax
or 32 ASCII users. Token Ring gateway capabilities provide access to AS/400 host
applications for up to 224 Twinax attached terminals and up to 80 Token Ring
devices. Ethernet gateway capabilities provide access to AS/400 host
applications for up to 168 Twinax attached terminals and up to 80 Ethernet
devices. For WAN connectivity, the Model 3030 provides access to SDLC and X.25
networks across three communication ports.
Functionality
The Model 3030 is compatible with
a variety of IBM programs such as Off ice Vision/400. Users get the benefits of
132-column display support IPDS datastream, and type-head. Additional system
flexibility is provided through support for data collection devices. Remote file
transfer capabilities using PC Support, Client Access, and IBM Emulation allow
you to access applications without additional software costs.
Service
Diagnostics available from the
front panel, plus error logs, simplify problem determination. Multiple LED
displays keep you informed on system status during start-up and normal
operations. Error conditions are also displayed and logged for service
reference.
