Using TinyTERM Plus Edition 4.04, how do you connect through a telnet firewall to an IBM host with TN5250 or TN3270 terminal emulation?

Configure a sessions using the TTY terminal type and a telnet connection to connect to the firewall as follows:

• Connection host: firewall name or IP address
• Connection Type: telnet
• Terminal Emulation: TTY
• Telnet Terminal Type: (depends on IBM emulation required)
  • 3270
    • IBM-3278-2
    • IBM-3278-3
    • IBM-3278-4
    • IBM-3278-5
  • 5250
    • IBM-3179-2
    • IBM3477-FC
• Save the session.
• Telnet to the firewall using this configuration. When the firewall prompts for the host, enter the hostname or IP address of the destination host.
• Depending on your firewall, you may have to hit the Enter key once to display the initial host screen.

NOTE 1: TinyTERM senses telnet binary mode to know when to switch emulations from TTY to one of the IBM emulations. The IBM terminal emulation desired is specified by the Telnet Terminal Type configuration.

NOTE 2: To preserve the initial firewall connection configuration do not save the session after the IBM host connection is made. TinyTERM changes your session properties when the IBM connection is made.
