Abstract This redbook is Volume I in a series of redbooks about Personal Communications; it describes the connection options and features of the DOS, Windows, and OS/2 versions of the following products: • Personal Communications AS/400 Version 4.1 • Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270 Version 4.1 The book explores their flexibility and modes of operation, and focuses on how to customize the Personal Communications products for 3270 or 5250 host-system communications. Although a Windows 95 version of Personal Communications is now available, this book includes only brief information about it; full information will be in a separate book, Personal Communications for Windows 95 Implementation Guide, SG24-4689, available in July 1996. Volume II, Personal Communications for Mobile Users, SG24-4456 (available July 1996), is intended for mobile users and for administration personnel who have to set up Personal Communications in a mobile environment. Volume III, Personal Communications for Coax, LAN, and WAN Users, SG24-4688 (available July 1996) focuses on how to customize Personal Communications for 3270 or 5250 host-system communications and how to use them in the coax, LAN and WAN environments. This redbook was written for workstation communications specialists or anyone who has the responsibility of installing any of the products available in the Personal Communications family. Some knowledge of 3270 or 5250 workstation-to-host communications and of OS/2 or DOS/Windows is assumed.

This list was taken from the product Ivory Letters and all other known sources. The bulk of the publication numbers pertain to PC hardware products, as these are the ones in most demand. Some entries are listed in multiple categories because they pertain to each category within which they are shown. The publications shown in this list are only some of the PC publications available; most PC pub­ lications have been assigned 7 -digit part numbers instead of 8-digit form numbers. The follo\ving list is composed of only form numbers, so that you may readily order these publications from Mechanicsburg. Technical publications may be obtained from either an IBM Representative, an Authorized IBI'v1 Dealer, the Technical Directory (1-800-IBM-PCTB), or the IBM Software/Publications Response Line (1-800-327-5711); the latter is normally used by dealers.

Yet far too often, these basics prove to be costly over time. Technicians and many others spend countless hours tracking assets, configuring and reconfiguring adapter cards, setting up systems, determining problems, and testing new solutions for compatibility with current investments. Now there's the IBM PS/2® 76/77 i and s family. For small workgroups or LANs of thousands of PCs over a wide geographic area, you'll find the PS/2 76/77 i and s to be ideal clients that can lower your cost of computing while empowering users throughout the enterprise. Here are just a few reasons why: Manageability features Configuration flexibility Multimedia with MediaBurst(TM) Movie Reliability features and warranty Service and support Stability Unprecedented simplicity for systems hardware management There's no need to wait for "plug and play" operating systems and yet-to-be-offered hardware in order to streamline adapter card installation and con-figuration. Today, without DIP switches, jumpers, hand tools or adapter conflicts, any of the 1,200 or so Micro Channel® adapters currently available can be completely installed and fully functional in the PS/2 76/77 in just minutes.

Esta mudança, aliada à difusão das redes de área local potenciou o surgimento de novas formas e processos de trabalho colaborativo que trouxeram um novo fôlego às organizações. Como consequência desta evolução, deu-se um aumento do número de postos de trabalho informatizados (“desktops”), decorrente da progressiva democratização do PC (Personal Computer) e dos sistemas de informação, implicando uma necessidade cada vez mais premente de mecanismos de gestão eficazes do parque de PCs em uso. Esta demanda é frequentemente relegada para um plano inferior no estudo da temática da gestão de redes e sistemas distribuídos, nem sempre sendo alvo do merecido reconhecimento.

  • Using the Ibm Pc As a Host Graphics Device Steve Morton - Sas Institute
    USING THE IBM PC AS A HOST GRAPHICS DEVICE STEVE MORTON - SAS INSTITUTE AUTHOR: SARAH DARDEN, SAS INSTITUTE INC. INTRODUCTION With the exploding market of new hardware and software products, the personal computer is quickly becoming a versatile work station for the SAS/GRAPHs software user. Its use as a host graphics terminal has become a popular choice'for the PC user who needs access to large mainframe data bases and production jobs. Because there are so many choices in hardware and software, configuring the PC as a host graphics device can be a complicated issue. Several factors, such as host communications software, communications boards, display adapters, and emulation software must be considered. This paper will analyze these factors and provide information on the different ways to use the PC as a host graphics terminal. THE PROCESS There are three very basic steps in generating host graphics. Software, running on the host, must generate graphics commands in the language that the target device can understand. The commands must then be sent to the device, and the device must be able to interpret tL~se commands and create a graph. For this process to work, the IBM PC must be attached to the host computer. Many standard personal computers do not come with the equipment needed to provide a host connection. The transformation of the PC into a terminal requires the following items: • - hardware in the PC that establishes the physical connection between the host and the PC software in the PC that can handle communications to and from the "j host - a graphics display adapter in the PC - hardware or software that can take ,graphics commands from the host and convert them into a format that the graphics adapter can use to generate a display on the monitor There are many different combinations of hardware and software that can be used to fulfill the above requirements.
