Terminal Emulator

The PASSPORT Web to Host® provides high quality, reliable iSeries web access from Windows desktops. PASSPORT iSeries web access is extremely cost effective. Zephyr provides a subscription based licensing program that can reduce your acquisition cost and maintenance cost significantly.

As one of the market's very first IP-based connectivity solutions, the mature, feature-rich package is an ideal alternative to older desktop-based emulators, including Attachmate® EXTRA!® or Reflection®, IBM Personal Communications or NetManage® Rumba®.

iSeries Web Access Deployment

PASSPORT Web to Host® provides iSeries web access using a 5250 emulator that features an ActiveX client that is deployed from a web server. The 5250 emulator is installed on the web server and provides an administrator program for centralized configuration and administration. All software and configuration files reside on the web server. When the 5250 emulator is run, an ActiveX applet is downloaded from the web server to the client desktop and run inside of Internet Explorer. The ActiveX component is only downloaded the first time a session is launched, or whenever the server version of the ActiveX component changes to a newer version. The ActiveX client running inside Internet Explorer makes a direct 5250 connection to the AS/500 host system.
