TN3270 Server

SNAP-IX TN Server provides access for TN3270E clients to connect to a host computer over an SNA or EE connection. This allows you to have a single SNA link to the mainframe while your clients connect in over your corporate IP backbone. It can also be used in the glass house to offload the TN Server function from the mainframe.

Both SNAP-IX and other vendors' TN3270E clients are supported. The TN Server feature is transparent both to the TN3270E client and to the host configuration.


TN3270E over TCP/IP

SNAP-IX TN3270E client provides 3270 and 3179G communications over a TCP/IP network. It can connect either direct to a host running the TN Server software, or to the SNAP-IX TN Server feature (using a SNAP-IX host link).
