This redbook is intended for mobile users of Personal Communications for DOS, Windows 3.1 or OS/2, and for administration and service personnel who have to set up Personal Communications family for use in a mobile environment.

This book is part of a series of three ITSO redbooks about Personal Communications family. It does not attempt to describe every feature of PCOMM, nor does it describe PCOMM's LAN or WAN capability (unless this is pertinent to a mobile connection). These subjects are covered in the following redbooks:

Personal Communications Version 4.1 Implementation Guide, SG24-4681, which fully describes the Personal Communications family functions, requirements, compatibility and limitations. It includes guidance on installation, customization and describes the use of man y features, such as data and file transfer, printing or the trace faci lity.

Personal Communications for the LAN/WAN User - DOS, Wind ows and OS/2, SG24-4688, which includes guidance on local LAN and WAN ac cess to host-systems. It describes customization of Coax, Twinax, and LA N connections, the non-switched SDLC and X.25 WAN connections and the PCOMM Gateway capability. This book will be available in 4Q96.

All these books should be used as a supplement to the product documentation, and assume a working knowledge of 3270 or 5250 workstation-to-host communications and of the OS/2, DOS or Windows environments.
