Overview

Introduction

The TN5250 TerminalEmulation User’s Guide, explains how to configure and

use the TN5250 emulation on your terminal. This emulation is an option for

terminals.

About This Guide

This guide is organized into three chapters and two appendixes:

◆Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” explains TN5250 terminal emulation

connection definitions, connections, and emulator sessions.

◆Chapter 2, “The Menu System,” explains the TN5250 online menu system

including keyboard mapping, and how to navigate through the menu

system.

◆Chapter 3, “Terminal Keyboard,” compares TN5250 and terminal keys,

and outlines the terminal’s keyboard features.

◆Appendix A, “Error Messages,” lists error messages and solutions to

problems reported by those error messages.

◆Appendix B, “Troubleshooting Aids,” provides a short guide for

preparation in troubleshooting your terminal.

About TN5250

Terminal

Emulation

TN5250 terminal emulation provides the protocol to connect a terminal to

IBM midrange systems (AS/400 servers). Once connected, the user can access

and use legacy applications such as database and word processing through a

terminal.

Product Features

TN5250 terminal emulation includes these easy-to-use features:

◆Interactive keyboard mapping

◆TN5250-style screen attributes, including color and attribute settings

◆Multiple sessions

◆Telnet protocol

◆Color terminal support

vi Overview

The TN5250

Connection

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.

Figure 1 The TN5250 Connection

❖Note TN5250 terminal emulation software is downloaded, stored, and

operated on your terminal.
