Replaces up to 128 IBM 3174 controllers providing
512 non-SNA and 8192 SNA sessions and implements data encryption, data compression and a request-challenge-response user authentication. Both ESCON and FICON channel attachments are supported and can be connected directly from the host CPU to the IDG 9074 or through an ESCON or FICON director. SecureAgent® technology enables technical personnel Remote Access to manage any system in the enterprise from any local or remote location with complete security.
The IDG 9074® Secure Communications Controller® will replace 3174 controllers. This includes support of
SNA, Non-SNA and DFT data streams. The IDG 9074 offers security for vastly more efficient
LPAR, system and subsystem console management. With the IDG 9074 you can add operating systems, LPARs and additional subsystems, quickly and easily.
The IDG 9074 provides total freedom for users, regardless of the physical location of various systems. Security is complete, with both data encryption and user authentication.
Your organizations security administrator controls all security, from a single point.
In addition to providing TCP/IP connectivity, the IDG 9074 Secure Communications Controller also provides COAX output. COAX output enables the IDG 9074 the ability to support up to 32 COAX devices such as: STK tape silos, COAX printers and 3270 type terminals. For information regarding the IDG 9074 Secure Communications Controller's available COAX support features, click here at either Local COAX Support or Remote COAX Support. Printer
Support The IDG 9074 supports HP laser printers connected either directly to a PC or via Ethernet. The printer is connected directly to the host and can communicate required events from the printer to the host, etc. Printer status can be checked to ensure job completion.
In addition to providing support for legacy control unit terminal (CUT) devices, the IDG 9074 supports legacy DFT devices, such as 3290 plasma displays and PCs with 3270 adapters, having the ability to display up to five simultaneous sessions across a single coaxial cable connection.
Hot Console Support
Another feature of the IDG 9074 is Hot Console Support. Hot console support creates a virtual terminal within the IDG 9074, ensuring that the mainframe always has a terminal with which to communicate.
Automatic Network Recovery
The IDG 9074 detects loss of connectivity on the network path and can immediately connect to an alternate network path.

Extended Optical Media Attached (Extended
OMA) enables the IDG 9074 the ability to transfer files and data from the host to an emulated tape and archive the information on removable media (i.e. DVD).
Optical Media Attach (OMA)
The IDG 9074 offers Optical Media Attach (OMA) support, which can be used as a convenience media to read software distribution shipped on CD, such as from
VM, and can be particularly helpful when tape drives are not available.
SecureAgent® products are central to the Disaster Recovery Plans of some of the largest organizations in the world.

Today, where technology and business are converging, any disruption could be devastating. The use of SecureAgent technology can mean the difference for your business between potential disaster and temporary inconvenience. The IDG 9074 provides secure access to any remote disaster recovery site. It simultaneously enables technical personnel to work from local or remote locations, providing the ultimate in continuous secure operations in the event of a disaster.
The Secure TN3270TM
client from SecureAgent Software® provides additional functionality such as Instant Replay, integrated REXX capabilities, and Secure Remote Access.
Our patent-pending Instant Replay enables the operator to view a screen-by-screen playback of their connected session. With the incorporated REXX capabilities, you can launch a variety of REXX programs from within your open window. Secure Remote Access enables technical support personnel to work securely from local or remote locations.
SecureAgent® Administrator (SAA)
SecureAgent® Administrator (SAA) enables data center personnel to securely administer, from one/several workstation(s), all 9074 machines in the enterprise, regardless of their physical location. Use SAA to set up user ID’s, groups and priviledge levels, as well as for configuring 9074 control units, addresses and LU’s.
