5.5.1 Creating a Multi Terminal Access Profile

The Multi Terminal Access Profile uses the Cybele proprietary z/Scope Classic terminal emulator to provide access to IBM Mainframes, IBM AS/400, and Unix servers.

z/Scope Classic is a terminal emulator that allows users to interact with applications that depend on the interface of the command line. It can be run under Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows ME, Windows NT/2000, and Windows XP platforms, supporting TN3270E, TN5250E, and VT100/220/320/420 terminal emulation protocols.

It's a fully integrated FTP client with full awareness of AS/400 objects and z/OS datasets. It allows one to browse web pages without leaving the z/Scope environment thanks to its integrated web browsing interface.

Remote Printing Services can be included to make host print jobs available to local and network printers by emulating IBM-3287-1 and IBM-3812-1 printers.
