Ibm 5250 Emulation; Introduction; Running The Emulation - Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

This chapter describes features of the IBM 5250 terminal emulation.

Introduction

The IBM 5250 emulator provides emulation of 5250 type alphanumeric terminals,
both monochrome (green/white plus attributes) and colour. Colours may be modified
using the Attribute Settings dialog box. This emulation can be used for connection to
an IBM AS/400, System/36 or System/38. A typeahead capability is provided so that
you can continue to enter data without waiting for a prompt from the host. All
communication to the IBM mainframe is achieved over the TCP/IP Telnet interface
using the inbuilt telnet interface provided with TeemTalk.

Running The Emulation

1. Display the Emulation Settings dialog box, set the Alpha Emulation option to
IBM5250, then click the OK button. The TeemTalk window will now be in
Network Virtual Terminal mode until a successful host connection is made.
2. Display the IBM 5250 Settings dialog box and select the Model. This specifies
what is reported back to the host in response to a terminal identification request.
(Note that not all features of the specified terminal may be supported.). It also
allows you to specify whether the display is treated as monochrome (green for
normal characters, white for intense attribute) or colour for attributes. The terminal
types currently supported and their display characteristics are listed below.
