servers support protocols and networks, some of which are listed here:
• 1 Gb Ethernet
• 100/10 Mbps Fast Ethernet
• IBM Token Ring 100/16/4 Mbps Network
• ATM 155 Mbps LAN
• X.21
• X.25
• ISDN Data Link Control (IDLC)
• T1/E1/J1 and Fractional T1 Networks (high bandwidth)
• Asynchronous
• Binary Synchronous
• Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC)
OS/400 includes the following communication facilities:
• TCP/IP Support
• Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN)
• SNA/SNADS
• Autodial Support
• 3270 Device Emulation
• ISDN Support
• File Transfer Support
• IPX/SPX Communications
For a detailed list of Networks, communication facilities and protocols, see “Referenced Lists”

All of these facilities are part of OS/400. Other communication facilities are available as
licensed programs, such as IBM Communications Utilities for iSeries. TCP/IP Utilities is
included with OS/400 (although not part of OS/400) from V3R1 onward. These TCP/IP
Utilities are automatically shipped to all customers that order OS/400.
Network Computing
The network computing capabilities of the iSeries server allow electronic business to be
carried out over the Internet and intranets. The following functions of the OS/400 operating
system, in concert with the security and reliability of the iSeries server, help make it a market
leader in network computing.
• Support for up to 30 Lotus Domino Servers for iSeries V5.01 (5722-LNT)
• Support for Lotus Enterprise Integrator for iSeries (5722-LNP)
• Java for iSeries is integrated into the microcode for performance (5722-JV1)
• HTTP Server for iSeries (5722-DG1)
