The cabling requirements depend on the model: Token-Ring or Ethernet. For Token-Ring, a
Telephone Twisted Pair (TTP) cable with an RJ45 8-position connector is required. The cable
type is generally describe as STP, UTP, or TTP RJ45 Category 3 (4 MB) or Category 4 (16
Mb) depending on the ring speed.
For Ethernet, a TTP cable with an RJ45 8-position connector is required, being an industry
standard 10baseT cable. The cable type is generally described as Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) Category 3.
All models of the IBM Network Station use an operating system program kernel, which is
downloaded from the AS/400 system over a TCP/IP LAN. The kernel and other Network
Station programs are loaded using the IBM Network Station manager residing on the AS/400
system. The Network Station operates without disk storage. When powered on, it performs
initial diagnostics and then contacts the AS/400 system requesting the Network Station
Manager to download the kernel. The OS/400 software requirement is V3R2 or V3R7 or
higher with the appropriate IBM Network Station Manager software (see “IBM Network
Station Manager, Version 2 Release 1, 5648-C07/5648-C08” on page 559). This provides
simultaneous window access to AS/400, RS/6000, and S/390 applications, as well as
Windows applications (using third-party multiuser Windows NT software) from a PC server. It
also encompasses multiple server access with browser access to applications and services
from the Internet, intranet, and extranets.
The Series 1000 models are also designed to use eSuite, a comprehensive set of tools and
applications written in Java, with a desktop environment called eSuite WorkPlace and a set of
Web development tools called eSuite DevPack. eSuite WorkPlace provides a comprehensive
set of applets, including calendar, mail, address book, word processor, spreadsheet, and
presentation graphics. eSuite Workplace was withdrawn from marketing on 09 September
1999. Further information on eSuite can be found on the Web at:
