DESCRIPTION ONE-YEAR THREE-YEAR WARRANTY WARRANTY PRODUCT MACHINE MODEL MODEL FEATURE InfoWindow II 3488* H11 H13 Modular Display Station Base Foot for Floor 5192 Mount (Includes Keyboard Extension Cable) * One of the following must be specified: SPECIFY CODE KEYBOARD TYPE 9122 IBM 122-Key Typewriter Keyboard 9124 (New) IBM 122-Key Data Entry Keyboard 9131 IBM Enhanced Keyboard NOTE: Specify code 9986 (Power Cable, 6-foot) is available for Chicago. The following special feature is available: FEATURE CODE PRODUCT 5182 IBM Personal System/2 (R) Mouse INVESTMENT PROTECTION Investment protection is provided by features that enable the InfoWindow II displays to adapt to application requirements that may emerge in the future, and the capability to upgrade the 3488 to a programmable workstation while retaining the monitor investment. A screen dimming feature blanks the application display area when the terminal is inactive, which reduces phosphor burn and extends the life of the monitor. The 3488, along with the appropriate monitor (IBM 9515 or 9518), is designed to comply with national and international standards to meet workplace requirements. Among these are ISO 9241 Part 3, released by the International Organization for Standardization, which defines front-of-screen characteristics including font design, screen flicker, display brightness, and uniformity of character presentation. The 3488 supports this standard by using a compliant font design and a higher 75-Hz refresh rate (in addition to the more popular 60-Hz refresh rate). When combined with the 9515 and 9518 monitors, compliance with ISO 9241 Part 3 is provided in mode 2 screen format. A second standard gaining much attention is the Swedish MPR-II. MPR-II has become a de facto standard, although it is technically a recommendation, in the field of electromagnetic fields. The 3488 can comply when equipped with a monitor that complies. GROWTH ENABLEMENT The modular approach to the 3488 logic unit/monitor configuration will allow adding new monitor capabilities (size, color, ergonomics) without rendering the entire terminal obsolete. The full function of the 3488 allows expanding the workstation capabilities as an installed system is upgraded with the new AS/400 controller, and the operating system is upgraded to OS/400 Version 2 Release 2. The 3488 supports character font download capability to support future requirements. AS/400 with OS/400 Version 2 Release 2, or the 5494 Remote Control Unit Release 1.1 is required for this capability. Refer to Product Announcement 192-187, 192-188, 192-189, or 192-196, dated September 1, 1992, for the AS/400 9402, 9404, or 9406 E95, or 5494 Release 1.1 details, respectively. BUSINESS SOLUTIONS Customers requiring flexible solutions to their business needs will find the 3488 an excellent workstation for use with the AS/400. The ability to select the monitor to go with the 3488 Modular Display Station allows adapting the workstation to the user's functional and financial needs. As the requirements change, only that part needing replacement will be affected. A printer port is supported on all models of the 3488 that provides host addressable print as well as local screen copy. The type of printers has been expanded to include laser printers such as the IBM 4019 and 4029, or the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet (1) III. Printer emulation is also enhanced to include 3812-SCS printer emulation, including a computer oriented rotation (COR) function that allows print images to be shrunk automatically without changing the paper setting. The 3488 supports the downloading of printer definition tables (PDTs) to provide increased flexibility of the printer attachment. Users may be able to attach various ASCII printers by downloading a PDT from AS/400. With the new AS/400 workstation customization capability, customers can create the PDT or keyboard table for keyboard remapping. AS/400 Version 2 Release 2 is required for workstation customization. The 3488 provides features to aid the physically impaired, including character attribute color selection for ease of character recognition by persons having problems with certain colors, adjustable typematic rate to control the rate at which characters are repeated using typematic action, adjustable vertical and horizontal mouse speed and double click interval, ability to change primary mouse button, and an IBM KeyGuard accessory to prevent accidental striking of the wrong key or several keys simultaneously. (1) Trademark of Hewlett-Packard. USER PRODUCTIVITY The 3488 supports the Enhanced User Interface, which provides special graphical characters with mouse support. The new special graphical characters include scroll bars, radio buttons, push-buttons, check boxes, and continuous window frames. The Enhanced User Interface enables pop-up menus and help screens, thereby providing improved interaction between users and their applications. AS/400 with OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 and feature code 6050, or the 5494 Remote Control Unit Release 1.1 is required to take advantage of this enhanced capability. The 3488 is fully compatible with the IBM WindowTool (TM)/400 (5798-RYF), including support for the mouse. OS/400 Version 2 Release 1.2 is required to support the mouse. The 3488 enhances the support of the multi-sessions capability, allowing simultaneous support of two display sessions and one printer session (display-display-printer). New display formats of 32 by 80 and 43 by 80 are available for use with advanced functions such as split screen. Split screen capability is also enhanced on the 3488. The user can dynamically divide the display screen into two variable-size partitions, horizontally or vertically, to view different sessions. The 3488 supports a calculator to perform local calculations that operates in the operator information area (OIA), keeping the screen display totally viewable. The user can import data from one application and perform a calculation. It also allows storing and retrieving of numeric data as well as frequently used mathematical expressions. All InfoWindow field editing features are supported. Individual data input fields can be edited as alphanumeric, alpha only, digits only, numeric only, signed numeric, field exit required, right adjust, mandatory entry, mandatory fill, bypass, auto enter, dup enable, and monocase. Indicators, displayed as symbols on the bottom row of the screen outside the data area, provide useful operator information. Updating the screen from the host is accomplished without refresh interruption (that is, no blinking). An underline type cursor and a rectangular reverse video cursor with blinking option are provided. An audible alarm is provided to alert the operator. The volume of the alarm can be adjusted by the operator. The floor mount feature or wall mount capability permits the user to improve the workspace available. The cable-connected keyboard can be moved. The keyboard slope can be adjusted by the user to 5 or 12 degrees. (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. SYSTEM MANAGEMENT The 3488 is plug-compatible with 3476 and 3477 InfoWindow displays to provide access to existing mid-range host applications through the 5250 architecture. The 3488 provides vital product data to the AS/400 system. This information (machine type, model, and display address) is collected by the AS/400 system and is available to users and application programs via the display local hardware (DSPLCLHDW) command. OPEN ENTERPRISE The 3488 complies with the following standards: o MPR-II o ISO 9241 Part 3. PRODUCT POSITIONING With the InfoWindow II family of display products, the user now has a choice not only of function level, but also of selecting a traditional integrated display such as the 3486 or 3487, or the new modular-design 3488, which provides the flexibility to select from a variety of monitor offerings. The choice should be based on current and future business needs. The 3487 is a full-function display with features not available on the 3486 entry display. These include choice of a larger 15-inch monochrome monitor (14-inch monochrome monitor on the 3486) or 14-inch color monitor, support of display modes 3, 4, and 5, and a new twin screen format. Twin screen requires a larger display area and is available only on the monochrome 3487 models. In addition, mode 5 is ISO 9241 compliant only on the monochrome model. All other functions are the same, including the printer port on all 3486 and 3487 models. The modular design of the 3488 makes it well suited to meet today's requirements and provides the flexibility to adapt as needs change. The modular design allows the 3488 logic module to be used with most IBM VGA and VGA-compatible monitors, including the 8504, 8511, 8512, 8514, 8515, 8518, 9515, and 9518. Thus, the user can select the monitor best suited to meet the application requirements. As needs change, the monitor may be replaced or the user may upgrade to a programmable workstation by replacing the 3488 while retaining the monitor. The 3488, when used with the 9515 or 9518 monitor, as well as the InfoWindow II 3486 and 3487 Display Stations, will comply with emerging internationally recognized standards such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9241 Part 3 and Swedish electromagnetic field recommendation MPR-II to meet workplace requirements that may be forthcoming. When the 3488 is combined with the 9515 and 9518 monitors, compliance with ISO 9241 Part 3 is provided in mode 2 screen format.
