Personal Communications AS/400 (R) and 3270 provides a
Presentation Manager (R)-based 5250 and 3270 terminal emulation
capability for personal computers running OS/2 (R) (including
OS/2 Warp Version 3.0).
The versatile connectivity provided in Personal Communications
AS/400 and 3270 offers greater flexibility to new and established
S/390 (R) and AS/400 users in expanding network capabilities --
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 2
remote LAN/WAN or workforce mobility with asynchronous
communications. No matter what the connectivity to the S/390 or
AS/400, Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270 provides the
necessary tools to make the "hows" of using the S/390 or AS/400
transparent and seamless.
In a single, easy-to-install 32-bit package, Personal
Communications AS/400 and 3270 allows you to simultaneously access
and process information to the AS/400 and S/390 host with a common
look and feel across both environments. This package combines the
features of Personal Communications/3270 Version 4.0 and Personal
Communications AS/400 Version 4.0 for OS/2 for a seamless integration
of 3270 and 5250 sessions into an OS/2 environment.
Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270:
o Can run alone as a full-function, 32-bit 3270/5250 emulation
package or can be configured with Communications Manager/2 to add
additional connectivity options
o Expands the types of supported LAN and WAN environments
- For the 3270 user these include DFT, Control Unit Terminal
(CUT), 3174 Peer Communications, Token-Ring, Ethernet,
TCP/IP, SDLC, APPC over LU2, Home3270, and IPX/SPX (NetWare**
for SAA (R)).
- For the 5250 user these include Token-Ring, Ethernet, TCP/IP,
Twinaxial (with console support), SDLC, and APPC via CM/2.
o Provides user mobility with the latest in asynchronous
connectivity, SNA-over-Async, which also includes Hayes Autosync
support and wireless (cellular data communications)
o Makes available X.25 and ISDN when configured using
Communications Manager/2
o Includes Network Transport Service/2 (NTS/2) for your LAN
connections
o Provides for connection via credit card adapters (PCMCIA)
o Supports a variety of programming interfaces, including Emulator
High-Level Language Application Program Interface (EHLAPPI),
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), Server-Requester Programming
Interface (SRPI), and PCSAPI, and includes a sample program,
EasyREXX for HLLAPI
o Offers customization of emulator settings, such as color mapping,
drag and drop, mouse setup, and automatic font-sizing through the
GUI, and eliminates repetitive keystrokes through the macro
record-and-play
o Provides one easy-to-install package that includes CID support
for remote, unattended installations

with 3270-base data stream alphanumeric application environments that
support the IBM 3278 Model 2, 3, 4, or 5 or the IBM 3279 Model 2 or
3, with certain restrictions. (Refer to the LIMITATIONS section.)
COMPATIBILITY: Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270 has been
tested for compatibility with the following programs; however,
compatibility should not be assumed for all environments (host
connections and emulation functions provided by IBM Personal
Communications AS/400 and 3270). Users of Personal Communications
AS/400 and 3270 must verify the availability of sufficient
application memory space based upon the host connection, emulation
functions configured, and other OS/2 requirements and system
extensions selected.
o Operating Systems:
- IBM Operating System/2 (R) Version 2.1, or later
- IBM Operating System/2 for Windows Version 2.11, or later
o Application Programs:

o Printer Definition Tables (PDT) are supported by Personal
Communications AS/400. Unless PDTs are used, the SCS control
codes may not always be handled correctly, depending on the
printer drivers and fonts used. Personal Communications AS/400
depends on the OS/2 Printer Device Drivers to print data when the
print driver is used. Some printer device drivers do not support
all characters that are used by Personal Communications AS/400.
Such printer device drivers print an unsupported character as the
most similar character or as the default character of the printer
driver (for example "-").
o The following connectivities do not support multiple physical
adapters including two RS232-C ports
- SNA over Async
o Twinax Console attachment does not support the following:
- File Transfer
- Edit (except Copy) function
- APIs (DDE/EHLLAPI/PCSAPI)
- ENPTUI
- Data Transfer
- Shared Folder
- PC Organizer
- Text Assist
- Printer session
- Multiple sessions per one twinax address
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 13
o SNA over Async line speed:
- Up to 38.4 bps, but actual results depend upon PC
configuration
o Data Transfer does not support multiple invocations at a time
Personal Communications/3270 supports commonly used 3274
control unit features and capabilities. However, the following are
not supported:
o Host direct printing in APPC3270 connection
o Coexistence of IBM 3270 PCMCIA adapter and IBM 3270 AT-bus
communication adapter, or IBM 3270 connection adapter
o Change of printer control parameter in using PDT File
o Programmed symbols for GDDM
o The Messenger and Server mode of IBM PC LAN Program
o The following connectivities do not support multiple physical
adapters, including two RS232-C ports:
- ASYNC IIN (TM) (IBM Information Network)
- Home3270
- SNA-over-Async
- Hayes AutoSync
o CUT function is provided with U.S. English and Austria/German
only and does not support the following:
- File Transfer
- API (DDE, EHLLAPI, SRPI, PCSAPI)
- ZipPrint
- Host graphic
- Editing functions other than "Copy"
- Host direct printing
- ALMCOPY
o Home3270 does not support the following:
- Graphics
- Passthru Print
- SRPI
- ALMCOPY
o ASYNC/IIN, SNA-over-Async, and Home3270 line speed
- ASYNCH/IIN and SNA-over-Async line speed is up to 38.5 Kbps
depending on the PC and configuration
- Home3270 line speed is up to 57.6 Kbps depending on the PC
and configuration
In addition to the above restrictions, when using DFT
communications attachment, the following features and capabilities of
the IBM 3274 or IBM 3174 control units are not supported:
o Configuration C features:
- Structured field and attribute processing (SFAP) (EBCDIC
only)

TCP/IP connectivity has the following restrictions:
o The following functions are not available:
- SDDLU (self-defining dependent LUs)
- SNA session-level compression and decompression
- LU type 1/3 host-directed printing
o The maximum packet size must be less than 8,000 bytes for the
file transfer
IPX/SPX connectivity has the following restrictions:
o The following functions are not available:

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Response time in a terminal environment
depends upon a variety of system unit and data-communication load
factors. These include the type and speed of system unit processor,
number and types of communication adapters installed, the line speed
of the communication service, and the amount of processing done by
the applications utilizing Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270.
PLANNING INFORMATION
The Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270 can be setup to
work in a server/client relationship. The approach for Personal
Communications AS/400 and 3270 is to store the least amount of code
necessary on the client workstation and to store the major portion of
the runtime code and configuration information on a LAN file server.
This allows the customers to utilize their workstations for more
applications.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: The customer must provide the minimum
hardware and software environments in which Personal Communications
AS/400 and 3270 will operate. It is recommended that an
administrator be assigned to customize the program for the end-users
and to provide the end-user with host information required to
configure and install Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270. To
assist in configuring Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270, a
configuration worksheet is included in the documentation provided
with the program.
PACKAGING: Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270 Program Package
is distributed with the following materials:
o Proof of License
o License Agreement
o Registration card
o User's Guide (one each for 3270 and 5250)
o Twelve 3.5-inch diskettes (includes two product demonstration
diskettes)
SECURITY, AUDITABILITY, AND CONTROL
Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270 runs under control of
the IBM Operating System/2 (OS/2) and is subject to the controls that
OS/2 provides.
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 15
User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and
implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and
appropriate controls in application systems and communication
facilities.
