Modern IBM i - systems do not have V.24 interfaces anymore. However, some of our products require special hardware to be connected via V.24, e.g. gsmtext.

The comserver systems of the company W&T (www.wut.de) close this gap. They are connected to the IBM i via TCP/IP and in turn provide a V.24 interface to which the corresponding devices can then be connected.

Two devices are tested with Toolmaker software:

• 58231 with one V.24 port
• 58004 with two V.24 ports

For the setup of the Comserver, W&T provides a PC software called "WUTilities"

The download of the software and the documentation for the Comserver can be found on the W&T website (www.wut.de)

Please download and install WUTilities on your PC.
