5250 ADAPTER CARDS: HARDWARE INSTALLATION MANUAL

Seven Sessions

The PCI Express card allows up to seven simultaneous emulation sessions to be active (6 display sessions and 1 printer or 7 display sessions) using the Vislink v5.10 software. Each session must have its own unique station address.

SNA or APPC emulation programs such as Client Access for Windows or Rumba still only use one physical station address.

Optimized Bit Stream (OBS) Mode

The optimized bit stream is a method of compressing the twinax data. Depending on the application, throughput can increase as much as 200%.
