IBM Licensed Programs: Networking Products
676 iSeries Handbook
Functions provided with 5798-TBW include wireless network management, centralized
configuration of radio frequency (RF) data collection devices, and direct connection to
Ethernet and Token-Ring LANs. IBM Wireless Connection for AS/400 supports the IBM 2480
family of wireless LAN products.
A separate feature supports multiple instances of 5798-TBW running on the same server.
This is useful to consolidate smaller iSeries servers into one or more larger iSeries data
centers. With multiple instances of 5798-TBW, you can manage 5250 mobile devices
anywhere in the world. Improved user interface panels, messages, and menus make it simple
for IT administrators to manage 5798-TBW.
IBM 2480 Portable Transaction Computers (PTCs) configured with 5250 emulation and
communications technology. Data transmitted by the PTCs is routed using IP.
iSeries Client Access Products
In today’s business environment, personal computers prevail as stand-alone solutions
providing networking to a host. As such, the iSeries Client Access products are closely
affiliated with OS/400 operating system functions. In fact, some components of Client Access
are provided at no additional charge with OS/400. The Client Access product content is
described here.

OS/400 V4R5 is the final release to support Wireless Connection. V5R1 customers with
critical dependencies on Wireless Connection have these options:
• Use LPAR with one or more partitions running OS/400 V4R5 and Wireless
Connection.
• Use a separate entry-level size iSeries or AS/400e server with V4R5 and Wireless
Connection. The entry level system with V4R5 handles wireless network requests
from Portable Transaction Computers (PTCs). Data to be returned to the users of
the PTC can be routed to any AS/400e or iSeries in the customer’s network.
