1. 3270 Connectivity Overview
Introduction
The PowerNet provides connectivity between 900 MHz LANs and/or Access
Point LANs and a 3270 Host, when equipped with the PowerNet 3270
Connectivity Package. Five types of 3270 connectivity packages are available,
SNA/SDLC V.24, SNA/SDLC V.35,
SNA/Token Ring, TN3270/Ethernet, and
TN3270/Token Ring.
During system operation, the wireless terminals appear to the host as 3278 model
2 terminals, while the server appears as a 3274-51C cluster controller.
This
PowerNet 3270 Reference Manual
describes the procedures necessary to
install and support connections to the 3270 host. An SNA/SDLC environment,
using V.24 and V.35 connectivity is discussed, as well as an SNA/Token Ring
(TR) environment, using an IBM Token Ring 4/16 Network Interface Card (NIC).

•
