PASSPORT Windows Terminal Emulator

PASSPORT is a powerful Windows terminal emulator that includes VT/100, TN3270 and 5250 clients. The package offers a high quality, reliable Windows terminal emulation for access to IBM mainframes, AS/400 and UNIX® systems from 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 terminal 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 Windows Terminal Emulator solution.

PASSPORT Windows Terminal Emulator Deployment

There are actually two versions of the PASSPORT Windows terminal emulator. Each product uses a different method of deployment.

PASSPORT PC TO HOST® is a desktop-based Windows terminal 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 terminal emulator that is deployed from a web server. The terminal emulator 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 terminal emulator software is run, an ActiveX applet is downloaded from the web server to the Windows desktop and run inside Internet Explorer. The ActiveX applet running inside Internet Explorer makes a direct VT/100, TN3270 or 5250 connection to the host system.
