There are some peculiarities with the 5494. It will not support more than 32 parallel workstation sessions per LU. Also, IBM recommends that the *APPC controller remote control point name match the 5494 controller remote location name. We believe this is to avoid confusion over the device description that is auto configured for the 5494. Apple support reps cannot assist in the setup or configuration of the IBM 5494. Refer to the IBM Redbook on configuring the 5494 to AS/400 (IBM P/N GG24-3828-00).
