The Model 001 manages the operation of up to 56 twinaxial-attached workstations and allows the workstations to communicate with an IBM AS/400*. This communication is handled through a Type 2.1 connection. When the business environment requires a token-ring connection, the Model 001 can be upgraded to a Model 002. The base 5494 Model 001 Remote Control Unit enables a customer to attach up to 28 twinaxial devices.

• Supports twinaxial devices
• Provides user-friendly configuration using PC or PS/2*
• Supports all 5394 native-mode workstation and communication functions
• Provides twinaxial device communication to an AS/400* over a token ring or Ethernet LAN
• Provides token-ring workstation attachment to a remotely located AS/400
• Provides Ethernet workstation attachment to a remotely located AS/400
• Provides an EIA 232D (V.24/V.28), V.35, or X.21 interface for attachment to analog, digital, packet-switched, or circuit-switched networks using communication cables with Auto-Wrap capability for network problem isolation
• Allows (with the 5494 Twinaxial Expansion Kit) a customer to add up to 28 additional twinaxial devices, which increases the total number of twinaxial devices supported from 28 to 56
• Allows up to 80 SNA devices to be attached over a token ring or Ethernet LAN
• Allows the attachment to a SNA subarea network
• Allows direct attachment to a Frame Relay network
• Allows source route bridging of SNA and non-SNA token-ring traffic across a Frame Relay network.
• Can communicate with up to four AS/400s at the same time

NOTE: When ordering this controller a Communication cable must be specified: V.24 or V.35.
