AS/400 IBM Network Station: Techniques for Deployment in a WAN
record and playback function. However, hand editing of VTxxx keyboard
mapping files is available. After hand editing a VTxxx mapping file, you can
use the new group support (see Section 1.2.2, “Network Station Manager
Group Support” on page 5) by putting the file into the group’s proper file
path/directory on the authentication server and then using the Network
Station Manager program to associate the desired users with that group.
Also, although the VTxxx client supports display printing, its display print
function is implemented differently than in the 5250 and 3270 clients.
As with 5250 and 3270 sessions, a VTxxx emulation session can be set up for
your users from the IBM Network Station Manager program using the
Programs or Menus setup task. This new VTxxx client is designed to provide
VT320 support. The VTxxx client will work in your environment if you can
answer
yes to the question, Can this application work with a real VT320
terminal?
Telnet does not equate to direct connect, for example, TCP/IP
encapsulation. In addition to VT320 and Xterm, the following are also
supported:
• VT300
• VT200
• VT220
• VT102
• VT100
1.2.7 Support for Twinax-enabled IBM Network Stations
Release 3 of IBM Network Station Manager for AS/400 provides support for
the recently announced twinax enabled IBM Network Station Model 341. This
IBM Network Station offers the same functional capabilities as the other
Series 300 IBM Network Station models
without
requiring you to change your
twinax wiring. Now it is easier for you to:
• Use corporate intranets and the Internet using the NC Navigator for IBM
Network Station browser.
• Enjoy the cost-effectiveness of non-programmable terminals (NPTs) with
simultaneous access to corporate applications using 5250, 3270, VTxxx
and X-terminal emulation.
• Allow access to Windows based applications by running a multi-user NT
version of software, such as WinCenter from NCD, Inc., on an attached PC
Server or Windows NT Server V4.0 -Terminal Server Edition and Citrix
MetaFrame running on a PC server or on the AS/400 IPCS (Integrated PC
Server).
You can set up your network environment on your AS/400 server to allow
some or all of the IBM Network Stations of use twinax connectivity. Beginning
