Affinity Card Not Working With OS/400 V5R1 and Above

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.

Visilink supports most popular emulation modes. Examples of terminal emulation are 3180,5251,5291,3196,and 3477. Examples of printer emulation are 5256,5224,5225,5219 and 3812.
