OptiConnect concepts

OptiConnect refers to both software and hardware functions.

OptiConnect software is a priced, optional feature of the IBM® i operating system (5770-SS1 option 23). OptiConnect software is required for OptiConnect communications between systems.

OptiConnect also refers to the hardware HSL loop configuration over which OptiConnect software communicates. Not all OptiConnect hardware functions require a license for the OptiConnect software.
