Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the I-O 2677e Ethernet Display.
Overview
The I-O 2677e Ethernet Display is a simple to use IBM AS/400 iSeries 5250 display and printer device.
Connection to the IBM host is accomplished over the Ethernet link using TN5250e (a TCP/IP display
and printing protocol created for use with IBM iSeries AS/400 hosts).
Configuration is required only on the 2677e as the IBM host will automatically create display devices
and, if desired, a print device, writer and spooler. The IBM host will either create its own name for the
display or printer session, or you may setup a name of your choice. The IBM host must be configured
to use TCP/IP, TN5250e and set for automatic device configuration.
With TN5250e, the IBM host recognizes two types of display devices, (3477fc for color or 3477fg for
monochrome) and one type of printer device, a 3812 laser printer.
The TN5250e display emulation functions just like I-O s 2677m Modular Twinax Display using the same
122 and 102-key 5250 keyboards. All typical twinax display functions are implemented in the 2677e.
This allows users to move from legacy twinax displays (whether I-O s own products, IBM s or another
competitor s product) to an Ethernet environment without losing any functionality or relearning
procedures or keyboards.
I-O s implementation of TN5250e printer emulation has been enhanced with a 3812 to 4214 conversion
capability. This allows not only laser printers, but also dot-matrix and thermal printers to be attached to
the 2677e and appear to the IBM host as a 3812 laser printer.
Print jobs sent from the IBM host are issued in IBM s EBCDIC character set and use SNA Character
String (SCS) command structure. The 5250 Printer Emulation converts EBCDIC to ASCII and the SCS
command structure to the printer’s command structure (PCL, Epson, or Proprinter).
I-O also has included a number of advanced features in the I-O 5250 Printer Emulation. These include
the ability to send printer specific commands as part of the SCS data stream that the IBM host does not
know the printer is capable of performing. Other features include I-O’s bar code language, graphing
language, and even color support.
NOTE:CERTAIN DOT-MATRIX PRINTER FUNCTIONS SUCH AS BACK SPACE,BOLD,UNDERSCORE OR
OVERSTRIKE ARE NOT SUPPORTED THROUGH IBM’S TN5250E.FOR FORMS ALIGNMENT MESSAGES,
CHANGE THE FORM FEED OPTION IN THE HOST PRINTER CONFIGURATION TO *CONT.

LED Indicator
This LED will be on indicating that the 2677e is up and running.
Power Button
This button is used to power the 2677e on and off. To power off, press
and hold the button for at least 4 seconds. Any less and the unit will not
power off.
Physical Connectors
USB There are two USB ports on the front of the 2677e and one on the back.
These are used for a Keyboard, Mouse and USB attached Printer.
Microphone and The Microphone jack is non-functional as TeemTalk does not support audio,
Headphone jacks however the Headphone jack can be used with external speakers if
keyboard click and sounds for Events, Applications and Notifications are
desired.
Power The power connector is used for the 5.0VDC 2.0A power adapter shipped
with the 2677e.
CAUTION:USING A POWER SUPPLY OTHER THAN THE SPECIFIED MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LOGIC
UNIT.

10/100 Base T The RJ45 connector is where the Ethernet cable is attached for network
connectivity. The 2677e will automatically link at the speed of the network.
DB-15 Connector The DB-15 connector is used for connecting your LCD Display. The 2677e
Outputs VGA with Resolution up to 1600 x 1200 High Colors and supports
80-132 column full screen.
USB The USB 2.0 connector on the back is used for a keyboard, mouse or printer.
Installation
No special training is needed to install the I-O 2677e. Simply follow the steps outlined under Hardware
Installation, then configure the display station and the AS/400.
Hardware Installation
1. Inspect the package for damage.
2. Connect the monitor
3. Connect the keyboard
4. Connect the Ethernet cable
5. Connect the printer (optional)
6. Connect the power supply and power up the monitor.
Configure the 2677e Ethernet Display
The 2677e can be configured locally, using the on-screen setup process, or remotely using the I-O
Configuration Utility found on the Utility CD. (The I-O Configuration Utility is not required to configure
the 2677e, but must be used whenever a firmware update is to be applied.) Both methods are
described in the following pages.
Configuring the 2677e using Local Setup with the Connection Manager
1. After applying power, the 2677e will go through a Windows CE boot process and display a
Connection Manager window. If the Connection Manager window doesn’t show, click on Start,
Programs, and Connection Manager.
By default, the 2677e is set with Dhcp enabled, so the unit will connect to the network through a
Dhcp assigned address. If you do not have a Dhcp server, or the unit does not pick up an address,
you can manually assign a static IP address by going into the Network Setup.
a. From the Connection Manager screen, press F2 to open the Control Panel.
b. Select Network and Dial-up Connections.
c. Double click on the PCI-R60401 connection and select Specify an IP address.
d. Enter a static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. OK and close the Control Panel.

2. Click on the Configure tab and Add. From the dropdown, select Terminal Emulation.
3. Enter a Connection Name (this will be the name of the icon showing on the desktop). Click on the
dropdown and select the Emulation, IBM 5250 for an AS/400 or IBM 3270 for a Mainframe.
•Click on the dropdown for the IBM Model and select the model you desire.
•Click on International Settings if you desire to change the National Character set or Keyboard
Type.
•Click on Keyboard Options and select the desired function for the Reset and Enter keys.

4. Enter the Host Name which is the Host’s IP Address. Click Advanced and 5250 Options if you would
like to specify the device name that will be created on the AS/400.
•If you want the host to auto login when the session is started, you can set the User Name and
Password.
•The Telnet Host Port Number defaults to 23 (may be changed if required for firewall access).
5. From Advanced Options, you can Finish adding the Display session or further modify some of the
other parameters in the GUI Overrides. After creating the session, select the Connections tab and
either double click on the Display session or highlight and click on Connect.
