1) What is ttp5250?
|
|
|
|
|
|
ttp5250 is a full functional 5250 terminal emulator for various unix systems.
|
|
It provides full 5250 functionality, especially all PF-Keys and screen
|
|
attributes.
|
|
5250 terminals are the most commonly used AS/400 terminals, connected directly
|
|
to the AS/400 via the Twinax cabeling system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) How does it work? What do I need on my AS/400?
|
|
|
|
TTP uses only standard TCP/IP sockets.
|
|
The only thing you need is TCP/IP running on your AS/400. The so-called
|
|
"TELNET server" on the AS/400 should run, too. TCP/IP ships with
|
|
OS/400 since Version 3.1.
|
|
If you have an older Version, get TCP/IP for your OS/400 from IBM. We
|
|
recommend to use OS/400 3.1.
|
|
There is no software to be installed on your AS/400 - except TCP/400.
|
|
If you can ping from your Linux station to your AS/400, you are able to run
|
|
this TTP-Module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) How do I Install this package?
|
|
|
|
- Login as "root"
|
|
- Change your current working directory to the root directory:
|
|
cd /
|
|
- Extract the distribution file:
|
|
gzip -dc ttp5250-linux.tar.gz | tar xvf -
|
|
This will install ttp5250 in /usr/ttp
|
|
- Add "/usr/ttp/5250/bin" to your path.
|
|
This can be done in your .profile or in /etc/profile, or somewhere else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) How do I start ttp5250?
|
|
|
|
If you have your path pointing to /usr/ttp/5250/bin, so type:
|
|
ttpterm as400
|
|
Or, if you did not change your path, type:
|
|
/usr/ttp/5250/bin/ttpterm as400
|
|
In the exaple above, we suggest that your AS/400 has the TCP/IP name "as400"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) How can I configure things to my purposes?
|
|
|
|
Look at /usr/ttp/5250/etc/. The file config.ttp contains the general
|
|
configuration. The files 5250* contain configurations for keyboard
|
|
and attribute remapping.
|
|
Configure the file /usr/ttp/5250/bin/ttpterm to your environment. Especially
|
|
the variable TERM.
|
|
The various other files, *.atp, are used to configure the ASCII<-->EBCDIC
|
|
mapping.
