Terminal emulator integration

You can integrate data from terminal emulators by mapping data to FileBound project index fields. After a terminal emulator integration has been configured, Connect will let you know when it finds a file in FileBound that matches the record you are viewing in the terminal emulation program. The integration also prompts when a file is not found in FileBound, and allows you to create a new one.

Connect can integrate with the following terminal emulators:

  • IBM Access Client Solutions
  • IBM Client Access
  • MultiView 2000
  • PowerTerm
  • wIntegrate
  • BlueZone
