Issue:
Client access no longer works with the Affinity 5250 card after upgrading AS/400 to V5R1 and above.
Cause:
AS/400 support for APPC devices removed
Solution:
With the introduction of OS 400 V5R1 and above, APPC (5150) support was removed, any PC with a twinax card will no longer communicate.
Customers with any Affinity twinax card installed can continue using this card by installing a terminal emulation program.
Perle offers emulation software called Visilink. This software supports green screen or terminal emulation, installing this software allows configurations of either two displays or one display and a printer.
Please contact your Perle reseller to purchase a copy of Visilink.
