IBM Licensed Programs: Networking Products676 iSeries HandbookFunctions provided with 5798-TBW include wireless network management, centralizedconfiguration of radio frequency (RF) data collection devices, and direct connection toEthernet and Token-Ring LANs. IBM Wireless Connection for AS/400 supports the IBM 2480family of wireless LAN products.A separate feature supports multiple instances of 5798-TBW running on the same server.This is useful to consolidate smaller iSeries servers into one or more larger iSeries datacenters. With multiple instances of 5798-TBW, you can manage 5250 mobile devicesanywhere in the world. Improved user interface panels, messages, and menus make it simplefor IT administrators to manage 5798-TBW.IBM 2480 Portable Transaction Computers (PTCs) configured with 5250 emulation andcommunications technology. Data transmitted by the PTCs is routed using IP.iSeries Client Access ProductsIn today’s business environment, personal computers prevail as stand-alone solutionsproviding networking to a host. As such, the iSeries Client Access products are closelyaffiliated with OS/400 operating system functions. In fact, some components of Client Accessare provided at no additional charge with OS/400. The Client Access product content isdescribed here.For more information on Client Access, refer to this Web site:http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/clientaccessOS/400 V4R5 is the final release to support Wireless Connection. V5R1 customers withcritical dependencies on Wireless Connection have these options:• Use LPAR with one or more partitions running OS/400 V4R5 and WirelessConnection.• Use a separate entry-level size iSeries or AS/400e server with V4R5 and WirelessConnection. The entry level system with V4R5 handles wireless network requestsfrom Portable Transaction Computers (PTCs). Data to be returned to the users ofthe PTC can be routed to any AS/400e or iSeries in the customer’s network.Note
