PASSPORT is a powerful TN3270 mainframe emulator that also includes VT/100, 5250, SCO ANSI, Wyse 60 and FTP clients. The package offers a high quality, reliable TN3270 mainframe emulator that is fully compatible with Windows Vista®.

PASSPORT is also extremely cost effective. Zephyr provides a subscription based licensing program that reduces your acquisition cost and maintenance cost significantly. This makes upgrading from older TN3270 mainframe emulators a very attractive proposition.

As one of the market's very first IP-based connectivity solutions, the mature, feature-rich package is an ideal replacement for older desktop-based emulators. With its competitive pricing and licensing options, you can save 50% to 75% on the amount of money you would normally spend for a mainframe emulator.

TN3270 Mainframe Emulator Deployment

PASSPORT PC TO HOST® is a desktop based TN3270 mainframe emulator. This product is similar to other desktop Windows programs. PASSPORT is installed with a Windows setup program. It can also be deployed using SMS, MSI, Citrix or Microsoft Terminal Server.

PASSPORT WEB TO HOST® is a web based TN3270 mainframe emulator that is deployed from a web server. PASSPORT WEB TO HOST® is installed on a web server and provides an administrator program for centralized configuration and administration. All software and configuration files reside on the web server. When the mainframe 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 3270 terminal emulator running inside Internet Explorer makes a direct TN3270 connection to the host system.
