All the Fields You Need in a Single Page
Legacy systems often used a host-dumb terminal architecture. The dumb terminal is accessed for the host's capabilities — including stored information, computation power, and printing — through one of several terminal communication protocols, such as VT100 or ANSI.
Perforce HostAccess terminal emulation software enables legacy applications to appear like modern Windows interfaces. It includes alphanumeric keys as well as screen management functions, such as cursor positioning and screen clearing.
Whether you’re looking for asynchronous/synchronous connections, server-based administration, concurrent users, or multiple session access, Perforce HostAccess is an ideal PC terminal emulation software solution.
With Perforce HostAccess PC terminal emulation software, you can:
- Increase host user productivity
- Standardize on one terminal emulation solution
- Produce reports quickly and integrate data with Windows applications
- Connect to multiple systems within one integrated environment
- Reduce software administration time and costs
How Does Perforce HostAccess Terminal Emulation Architecture Work?
Perforce HostAccess enables you to connect to one or more hosts across different networks using multiple emulations and protocols. Perforce HostAccess is session-based and supports multiple, concurrent sessions each with a different emulation. Individual sessions can be opened, closed, and saved independently of other open sessions.
Perforce HostAccess supports both block mode and asynchronous (character-mode) emulations. Both are designed to work with various systems. Perforce HostAccess also allows the user interface of legacy terminal-based applications to be modernized using its powerful AutoGUI feature.
Perforce HostAccess supports over 30 different terminal emulations, including IBM 3270, DEC VT series, Wyse 50/60, SCO ANSI, Data General DG216, and MDIS Prism 8/9.
