5250 Client
The Motif 5250 emulation program
provides a wide range of features for communications with AS/400
systems.
Each user may have a number of
sessions (limited only by the available system resources), used
for:
- 5250/5251 display
emulation, including support for monochrome or color
operation and large screen model (27 x 132)
- SNA Character String
(SCS) printer emulation.
Multiple sessions appear as
separate windows and can be viewed simultaneously. A Motif
session control window allows the user to activate and deactivate
sessions.
The program supports a range of
single-byte and double-byte host languages, including
right-to-left languages.
Local copy printing is supported
(both host-initiated and locally-initiated).
File transfer, similar to PC
Support/400 and Client Access/400, is available using a separate
command-line interface.
Customisation of the emulation
display is provided using a text style file. The user can:
- modify the screen color
and highlighting or the keyboard mapping
- specify the host language
- define frequently-used
sequences of keystrokes which can be replayed as
required.
