Re: V5R1 and Client Access over Twinax

Chuck,

What about a wireless connection? I'd think you could get an ethernet
connection to that PC for under $500, and about an hour of  installation.

Subject: V5R1 and Client Access over Twinax


> I have a client that we just upgraded (actually replaced systems) from a
170 (V4R3) to a 270 (V5R1).  We knew that Client Access would no longer be
supported.  They have one PC (along with other twinax devices) in a spot in
a warehouse where running twisted pair will be an expensive pain (it has to
be run 30+ feet up in the air and well past the 100 meter limit...)  The PC
is running Client Access for Win95/NT V3R2 using the NS Router. So we
decided to test Client Access communicating with the new system before the
conversion to see if it was necessary.  Everything tested okay, so last
Friday we did the conversion.  This particular PC uses 5250 emulation,
uploads, and downloads to the AS/400.  It worked fine over the weekend and
into Monday.  But Monday/Tuesday they couldn't do the upload.  When it
attempted to upload the file the got "CWBLM0020 License Manager Software
Error - 0003, 0037"  But they didn't get this error when downloading or
using the 5250 emulation.  Now it does not matter what you are trying to do,
it will not connect.
