Ibm 3270 Emulation; Introduction; Session Configuration; Wbt Mode - Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

This chapter describes features of the IBM 3270 terminal emulation.

Introduction

The IBM 3270 emulator provides emulation of all four models of the IBM 3278
alphanumeric terminal and also supports the IBM 3287-1 printer. The terminal
emulation supports Extended Attribute mode which allows different representation of
highlighted fields and permits host definition of text colours. (Note that you can
modify colours using the Attribute Settings dialog box but they cannot be saved as
colours are mapped differently in this mode.) The emulation also includes typeahead
capability so that you can continue to enter data without waiting for a prompt from the
host.
