I have a Model 40S and the limit is 14 devices attached, but only 7
interactive devices (terminals) can be active at any one time.
Printers do NOT count in the 7 active devices.  Also, if you have a
display that allows multiple sessions and addresses, then each address
is counted as an active device.

The only thing I'm not sure about is if there are different feature
codes on the 40S that allow different # of active devices.

Thank You,

Just a quick question for the experts out there:

What is the limit of twinax devices on a Model 40S?

A client has a customer with a Model 40S. They currently have 4 twinax
workstations and 1 twinax printer. They say that if they try to add
another twinax device, they do not get a signon screen unless they power
off one of the other devices.

I only have this info second-hand, but I am assured that it is not

simply an address conflict. Someone supposedly remembers the vendor they
bought the system from mentioning a limit of 5 twinax devices. It was my
impression that the minimum amount of twinax devices on ANY AS/400 other
than the P01/P02 portables was 14.
