4 TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal

Each AXEL Platine terminal can support up to EIGHT logical links. This

feature, called Multi-connection, lets any AX3000 user run up to 8 simultaneous

working sessions, on one or several hosts.

1.2 - MAIN FEATURES

Each TCP/IP AXEL Platine terminal can operate as up to eight concurrent

and independent virtual terminals.

With this virtual terminal capability, an AXEL Platine terminal can provide

multiple connections across a network. Each virtual terminal can be:

- connected to any TCP/IP networked host,

- set, using independent parameters (emulation, function keys, color video

attributes, etc).

By means of a simple set-up, it is possible to associate any networked host with

any virtual terminal (also called “session” or “view” in this manual) and

automatically connect to a host at start-up. This capability makes it

unnecessary for the operator to connect manually, and permits selection of

specific sessions and automatic connection to pre-selected applications.

The number of virtual terminals per Platine terminal can be set between 1 and

AX3000 TCP/IP Platine terminals also have a built-in network print and tty

server. This embedded TCP/IP print server allows a printer, connected to any

of the auxiliary ports (serial or parallel) of the Platine terminal, to be seen as a

system printer by any network user.
