The BiSync to ASCII printer application
(IP-B2APRT)
is a companion application to the TN-3270
Server application of the DT-6XXX. This Application type is designed to replace the
A2B DKAP
application in either an
integrated (
Both BNS/Datakit
and IP networks together
)
, or a
non-BNS
environment (IP network only).

The following diagram depicts a configuration of the IP-B2APRT application in an integrated
environment. It replaces the A2B DKAP module.

IP-B2APRT Application Installed
In the above diagram the IP-B2APRT application addresses both the ASCII printer and the BNS
circuit group for each particular printer. The operation is similar to the BNS A2B DKAP with
regard to the printer functionality.
The Universal Mediation Interface
1
(UMI)
module provides the protocol mediation between the
BNS network, and the IP network. A hunt group set up for each ASCII printer would be predefined
to address the BHI address group for that printer.

The UMI allows both synchronous and asynchronous endpoints connected to a BNS network to access
endpoints on an IP network. Similarly, endpoints on an IP network can access both synchronous and
asynchronous endpoints on a BNS network.
