| On the
host side, the Perle Model 3i attaches to a twinax port.
On the network side, by attaching low-cost PC modems to
the RS-232 ports on the Model 3i, users with a wide variety
of PCs, terminals and printers can dial-in and connect
to the host. Dial-in users just need an inexpensive PC-type
(asynchronous) modem and 5250 terminal emulation software,
such as PerleTALK for Windows or DOS; no emulation cards
are needed, resulting in both cost and space savings in
the PC. |
 |
The Perle
Model 3i is available with one, three, five or seven ports,
depending on the number of concurrent users required.
Ports not required for dial-up access can be used for
direct-attach devices such as LaserJet printers or ASCII
terminals. |

|
Terminal
Emulation software
The Perle
Model 3i supports many popular 5250 terminal emulation packages
including PerleTALK for Windows or DOS. PerleTALK is optimized
to provide many useful productivity features when used in
conjunction with the Perle Model 3i. |
|
Printer
Support
ASCII impact
or laser printers, such as the HP LaserJet (for DisplayWrite
or OfficeVision applications) are supported as auxiliary printers
on remote PCs, or can be directly-connected to the Perle Model
3i without the need for twinax emulation boards. |
|
Multi-session
Capability
The Perle
Model 3i has built-in multi-session support, which allows
a single user to access up to seven sessions concurrently,
without needing to log off and on to change applications. |
|
Easy
to use and Manage
The Model
3i has many benefits for both the dial-in user and the system
administrator. For dial-in users the Model 3i speeds connection
to applications using an automated sign-on feature. Users
also save time when the Model 3i's dynamic port configuration
is combined with the phone company's hunt-group feature allowing
the dial-in user to be connected to the first free port with
no redialing required.
For the system
administrator the number of ports and phone lines for dial-in
users can be reduced as ports do not have to be allocated
for each type of device dialing-in. Additionally, the Model
3i enables remote terminals or PCs to emulate a local terminal,
so a system administrator's tasks can be managed from a remote
PC or terminal, if needed. |
