Overview
To operate TN5250 emulation, you must connect to an AS/400 server
operating with OS/400 Version 1, release level 3.0 or higher. Additionally, you
must be operating the emulator across a TCP/IP network, using an IBM 8209
or equivalent TCP/IP attachment. When you use TN5250 terminal emulation,
you are communicating directly with the AS/400 server. This communication
is accomplished with the IBM AS/400 system internet protocol. Figure 1
shows the TN5250 connection related to a terminal.
