Currently, asc5250 supports telnet connections over TCP/IP using our TCP/IP connection tool called TCPack. asc5250 is System 7.0 compliant and supports balloon help. IMPORTANT NOTE: asc5250 is Copyright © 1991, 1992 by Advanced Software Concepts. This Demo is being made available on this forum ONLY for evaluation purpose. Enclosed is a demo version of asc5250. This version is fully functional, but the connection time is limited to 8 minutes for each session. Also, an Installer application is delivered with the commercial version which allows an End-User or a System Administrator to setup the default connection parameters. Hardware & Software Requirements : --------------------------------- • Any Macintosh with at least 128K Roms (Macintosh Plus and newers). • Macintosh System Software 6.0.4 or later. • The Macintosh Communications Toolbox v. 1.0 or later. • A Communication Toolbox compliant application like 5PM (our own powerful terminal emulation application), Claris Works, MacTerminal or Sample (delivered with the Communications Toolbox Basic Connectivity Set) or a HyperCard XCMD set like our ascHyperCTB product. • TCPack, our TCP/IP + Telnet + FTP server Connection Tool for the Communications Toolbox, required by asc3270. Installation Procedure : --------------------- 1) Make sure the CTB is correctly installed. 2) Load the "asc5250 Fonts" into your system file by using Font DaMover, or by dragging them on your System file icon under System 7.0. Make sure to trash any older versions of the asc5250 Fonts you may have in your System file. 3) Make sure to trash any older version of the asc5250Prefs file you may have in your system folder. 4) Drag the asc5250 tool into your "Communications Folder" located in the System Folder if you are running System 6.0x or in your "Extensions" folder if you are running System 7.0. 5) Run your CTB compliant application, select and setup TCPack for the connection and asc5250 as terminal emulation. Open the session; if you have correctly setup your parameters and… if you have an IBM AS400 supporting tcp/ip telnet sessions, everything should work fine. 6) Use the On-line help if you have any problems. Configuration Procedure : ----------------------- 1) Select TCPack as Connection Tool. Choose an IBM-3278-x, IBM-3279-x or IBM-5250 Terminal Type in the Terminal Configuration Dialog. Note : if the IBM-5250 does not appear in the list of terminals, do not enter it in the editable field : just select an IBM-3278-x or IBM-3279-x. 2) Select asc5250 as Terminal Tool. Usually, you will only need to change the "ASCII-EBCDIC" Conversion Table to fit with your local IBM system. You will also need to select a Font Size of 9, or 7 Font, when using asc5250 on a 9'' screen or on a PowerBook. 3) The default colors and keyboard mapping provide a convenient way to use your tool but you can change them if you prefer. For exemple, the "Field Exit", "Field +" and "Field -" keys are NOT configured in the default keyboard. You must configure your own keyboard if you want to map these keys to your Macintosh keyboard.
