IBM 3270 Emulation 13 IBM 3270 Emulation This chapter describes features of the IBM 3270 terminal emulation. Introduction The IBM 3270 emulator provides emulation of all four models of the IBM 3278 alphanumeric terminal and also supports the IBM 3287-1 printer. The terminal emulation supports Extended Attribute mode which allows different representation of highlighted fields and permits host definition of text colours. (Note that you can modify colours using the Attribute Settings dialog box but they cannot be saved as colours are mapped differently in this mode.) The emulation also includes typeahead capability so that you can continue to enter data without waiting for a prompt from the host. All communication to the IBM mainframe is achieved over the TCP/IP Telnet interface using the inbuilt telnet interface provided with TeemTalk. Running The Emulation 1. Display the Emulation Settings dialog box, set the Alpha Emulation option to IBM 3270, then click Ok. The TeemTalk window will now be in Network Virtual Terminal mode, as indicated by the ? symbol in the status line along the bottom of the window. 2. The Model option in the IBM 3270 Settings dialog box specifies what is reported back to the host in response to a terminal identification request. (Note that not all features of the specified terminal may be supported.) It also determines the size of the display and whether or not extended attributes are supported. One of four display sizes can be selected: Model 2 Model 3 Model 4 Model 5 24 rows by 80 columns 32 rows by 80 columns 43 rows by 80 columns 27 rows by 132 columns 13-1

IBM 3270 Emulation
This chapter describes features of the IBM 3270 terminal emulation.
Introduction
The IBM 3270 emulator provides emulation of all four models of the IBM 3278
alphanumeric terminal and also supports the IBM 3287-1 printer. The terminal
emulation supports Extended Attribute mode which allows different representation of
highlighted fields and permits host definition of text colours. (Note that you can
modify colours using the
Attribute Settings
dialog box but they cannot be saved as
colours are mapped differently in this mode.) The emulation also includes typeahead
capability so that you can continue to enter data without waiting for a prompt from
the host. All communication to the IBM mainframe is achieved over the TCP/IP
Telnet interface using the inbuilt telnet interface provided with TeemTalk.
Running The Emulation
1.
Display the
Emulation Settings
dialog box, set the
Alpha Emulation
option to
IBM 3270
, then click
Ok
. The TeemTalk window will now be in Network Virtual
Terminal mode, as indicated by the
?
symbol in the status line along the bottom of
the window.
2.
The
Model
option in the
IBM 3270
Settings
dialog box specifies what is reported
back to the host in response to a terminal identification request. (Note that not all
features of the specified terminal may be supported.) It also determines the size of
the display and whether or not extended attributes are supported. One of four
display sizes can be selected:
Model 2
24 rows by 80 columns
Model 3
32 rows by 80 columns
Model 4
43 rows by 80 columns
Model 5
27 rows by 132 columns
